"I'm in an anger / encouragement class."

Today's subject line comes from Kevin Young's "Lime Light Blues."

Current mood: if someone were to go after certain members of my state legislature with a horsewhip, I'd happily hold their coat. What a disgusting display of bad faith and blatant good ol' outright discrimination both in front of the cameras and behind the scenes.

Anyhow. I shall write thank-you notes to Sens. Sara Kyle and Katrina Robinson, and also Rev. Jay Hartley. Today I sat in the back row in church-lady mode (complete with hat and pearls). I had my Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice sign pinned to the brim of my hat, and when the sergeant told me it had to be no higher than chest level, I pinned it to my crochet bag and parked that bag on my knees. During one break, I had a lovely chat with a Methodist minister about the bedspreads we each are working on.

I thought about Mama Nancy a lot - she was a former president of Planned Parenthood - and, both days, deliberately wore a pair of earrings I'd bought in NC while on a road trip with her. I admit to being amused when a senior senator ordered the men in the room to take off their hats.

Also: postcards to voters and Americans of Conscience actions
