OMG. So, this is an activism first. I ended up breaking down into tears while calling my state House Representative Erin Murphy. There's a bill that was introduced to the MN State Legislature, HF1183, which, if passed, would allow health insurance companies to deny health services related to gender transition to trans folk. I was doing pretty well on the answering machine until I got to why this is important to me. This is LITERALLY what the friend of a friend killed herself over--a fear that something like this would come to pass and she could no longer get access to the things that are critical to her life. Two of my other friends have considered (and attempted) suicide over the same thing.
So, I started balling.
I'm sure Erin Murphy's office will remember the call.
I was lazy with my Project 1491 project. I was supposed to call Senator Franken (who is, of course, on the committee that hears this) about S.J. Resolution 13, which, if passed, with give states the authority to defund Title X programs, which is just the Republican hating on Planned Parenthood some more. I wrote him a postcard on my fancy new post cards that I purchased just for this reason. (Bummer? The card is shiny and slick on BOTH SIDES, which actually made it really hard to write a letter that didn't look like it came from a crazy person.)
Otherwise, I put in 4 hours at Shoreview. Today was labor intensive... but I survived because of our usual Tuesday bagel.
I just finished reading LUMBERJANES Vols. 1 -5, because the library had them. I will probably write a review here in the next couple of days. Generally though, I enjoyed them. Good clean fun, as grandma used to say. Today I checked out a couple of books about Montana because Mason would really like to plan a summer road trip there.
