You built that, assholes.
As a former Wichitan,
Iâm grateful you took the time to vote!
I am grateful that I am allowed to vote by email. I donât know what the rules are for other states, but itâs never been easier for Americans abroad to vote. I am also grateful to the county clerkâs office of Douglas County, Kansas for taking the time to confirm that my ballot had been received and was good to go.
Howâs being a religious hate-monger working out for you Serena?
Normally, this would piss me off.
It still does, but this is the world she wants to live in. When they take her finger for reading, she has no one to blame but herself⌠and the patriarchy. Itâs always the patriarchy.
