Read this awesome post by Shark-Fu.
Stand up for women's reproductive freedom. Let the Senate know that there are more women concerned with their rights, angry about their rights, ready to fight damned hard for their rights, than there are teabaggers and toy-baby wavers.
Don't let the Stupak Ammendment stand!

Tear Down the Wall.
Nov. 10th, 2009 05:35 pmI remember the day the wall fell.
As many know, my Dad's German. My Mum was so delighted. They made sure I knew how important this was, how miraculous it was, how utterly wonderful. I felt giddy at the thought of such a horrible thing being dismantled by the hands of the people that suffered under it.
We have two pieces of the wall, beautifully mounted on wood, surrounded by lacquered photos of my cousin and my uncle chipping those very pieces from the wall. It stands proudly on top of a shelf, and my Mum has always said of it:
"It's like a scalp."
The scalp of oppression, right there. I like that idea.

Emma's name is off the list.

She is officially on my "Kick Ass Real Life Hero" list.

Malcolm Turnbull just referred to the Prime Minister and the Deputy as "Chairman Rudd and Comrade Gillard".
Shit you not, he just called them Communists/Socialists.
I'm really not sure about this school comparison website thing, but God damn, calling them Communists as a way of criticising them? Really? We're doing that now?
