Treat Yo Self While Supporting Abortion Rights

May 23, 2019 by WendyB

Shout-out to gorgeous customer Ali, whose ring order enabled me to make a $25 donation to Access Reproductive Care – Southeast today!

Can you feel it now? The anger? via GIPHY The gif above is from Mad Men and I’ve thought of it almost daily since that well-timed episode aired just over four years ago. The scene pops into my head whenever the most powerful people in the our country display their hatred, greed, and criminality —…

Election-Day Video, Links, and Liuba

November 6, 2018 by WendyB

Hallelujah! Election Day is here at last. I’m jealous of all of you who have voted already. The majority of states have early voting, but New York does not because Republicans in our state senate have refused to pass voting-reform legislation. As a result, today is likely to be madness, and I’ll get to see…
