I just googled their ad archive, what a treasure trove of horrors indeed. Barf.

Absolutely sickening and disgusting.

As if we need more reminders of what a horrible time the 50s were, right? Somewhere in time that this regime wants to jettison us to (when not aiming for more archaic timelines). Makes you want to take that tie and strangle them with it (of course that may not be considered "ladylike"). Thank you for this reminder. Maybe it's time to harken back to the revolutionary times (and I don't mean the white men's American Revolution). I'm thinking more of the Feminists movement or the poor people's French Revolution, or the Black Panthers and black people marching and sitting-in. I had a wonderful "Women's History" Teacher. I wish at the time that I could have taken "Black History" and "Hispanic History" also, and maybe "Indigenous People's" history as well. These specialized classes seem to be the only way to get a more honest portrayal of our whitewashed "American" history.

They had to give the men a push to voluntarily wear a noose... and an ugly one at that. Patrarchy is bad for men too.

I hope that in the subsequent moments of this illustration, she turned the tray on his shirt and tie. And who wears a shirt and tie in bed? Scandalous!

Thank you, Professor Merethea &a!

Grateful for feedback concerning the below in terms of our sensitivity to Parental, Reproductive, Human Rights that we don’t have Business expressing a view on without yours (please don't forget to message us if you would like us to make you Lifetime Cofounders for the Abigail Adams "freeest" free of $0) ≈

" We expect that many of you will have seen the reports of further allegations concerning corruption of our Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States. Our view is that whatever the truth may be. it is as irrelevant as is inaccurate the accusation that the their Code of Conduct be unenforceable (for reasons detailed herein); not Just because each of us has the right to bear arms, and to demand the lives of schoolchildren be protected; to freedom of religion, and to demand separation of church and state; and too every woman has the right to life herself, and to demand the lives of her living children, and also her grandchildren as well as the life of her unborn child be protected:

That, none of these conditions are dichotomies themselves, nor mutually exclusive of that set or any other; there is no restriction dispassionately reducing our expectation of representation or public service to the false-state of one-or-the-other." ~~

There’s something really powerful about turning personal experience into language other people finally feel seen by.

That kind of writing stays with people.
