I am pinning this image because I want you all to know that this blog is PRO-CHOICE, PRO-CIVIL RIGHTS, PRO- LGBTQ, and NOT CONSERVATIVE. I may come from the 20th century and I may be fond of nostalgia but I celebrate a progressive future where EVERYBODY is safe to express themselves, access healthcare, have enough food to eat, a safe place to live, a partner who loves them, and every child born is a dearly wanted child.

The “housewife” I hail is the woman who was caught between two worlds. She (and my mom was one of them) was raised to serve her husband and family and taught that joy would come from suppressing her own wants and needs. And when the Second Wave of feminism came around she watched from behind the shutters of her house as some of her sisters broke their chains and took off to find their bliss. But she was afraid to try for her own bliss. She lacked the education, the financial independence, and the confidence to do it herself. So she stuffed that pain down deep inside and used coping mechanisms (often unhealthy) to get by.

My generation watched our moms die slow, agonizing little deaths of the soul every day and, because things did change, we did not have to go down that road.

But I think of those ladies of that generation a lot and I feel for them. They were trying their best in a confusing time.

PS- FYI we go to December 1982 here because, for me, that was officially the end of the 70s. If you see anything that is past that date please clue me in. Exceptions are occasionally made and explanations will be given in those cases.

Thank you.

PPS- Sometimes you will get recipes.

You don’t need to waste your time investigating whether they are a bot or a psy-op or a misinformed rube. It doesn’t matter. Either way, they add no value to your dashboard. Block and move on.

Trump says he doesn’t know shit about P2025, ABC News theorizes he’s full of it

The important thing I’d note is that while this transition plan and objective set was created for Donald Trump, it is not necessarily specific to him—this is the distillation of what conservatives have wanted for a long time and WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH FOR even after Trump is no longer in the picture someday. They are proposing it now because they know Trump will be likely to enact these proposals, but understand this: the things outlined in the graphics above are the world the Republican Party envisions going forward regardless of who their candidate is. They are not going away. Unless time and time again those who oppose this vision fight the Republicans at every level of government, one by one the hard fought wins those in the past have achieved will be stripped away.

Paul Weyrich was the architect of the modern Republican Party. 

In the 1960s he was considered too extreme and pushed to the margins. 

But with his tireless evil genius, he organized in the 1970s, courting major corporations like Coors, Koch Industries, and Mellon - Scaife. Thanks to their massive financial handouts, Weyrich emerged triumphant.

Weyrich was a wizard of propaganda. 

He founded the foolish think tank known as the Heritage Foundation. 

He recruited Jerry Falwell as the front man of a new creation called the Moral Majority. 

He drafted Pat Robertson to front his new group the Christian Coalition.
