It's here. GERRY. A font created by your congressional districts. Log on to https://t.co/WkuVp7oDpu and use the font to tell congress how happy you are that your vote doesn't matter.

@EricaGamet @AIGAeyeondesign That's much better than the last time I attended a CP conference. At the time, women also weren't chosen for the panels, even though they were more qualified and talented speakers than the men -- which also decreased the percentage of female "stage time".
