Strangely sour grapes.
Tracie: “Also, monkeys are super funny and there are also professional monkey entertainers. Has she never been to the circus?”
Me: “She is a circus.”

Dear Rep. Franklin: I Submit My Used Tampons as Evidence
Dear Rep. Franklin,
I applaud your efforts to support the rights of zygote citizens of Georgia by criminalizing miscarriages and investigating every instance of fetal death as a potential crime. The bill you are…
Just so you know! I’m working with an amazing woman, who originated this idea. Her name is Devery, and we’re going to have a guest-post up from her very soon. Jill’s post was written soon after I spoke to a group of people to get this started. And I have no doubt that Devery’s post will be just as amazing too. There are a few directions that we’re planning to go with this, it’s gonna be awesome.
BUT. This is a safety warning, for you. The safety warning is as follows: DO NOT MAIL ACTUAL USED TAMPONS. This is illegal. Given that people have no way to know how safe it is to handle your blood, it could actually be classified as “bioterrorism,” and result in jail time. Mail photos of the used tampons, and let Franklin know you’re waiting for him to collect the evidence.
And that’s about it. I want Devery to be leading the charge on this idea, because it’s her idea, and it’s awesome. But in case any of you were bleeding tonight, and got an intense impulse to mail your evidence right away, I wanted to let you know that it’s important to stay safe.
What about mailing tampons soaked in red food coloring or paint?
