Crimes my husband commits #1: pulling out chunks of hair, draping them over the shower curtain rod, and leaving them there for me to find.

Photos by my friend, Viv. 1. me protesting the Walk For Life, and 2. Erika’s sign.

Today is the day of the West Coast Walk for Life, an anti-choice march in San Francisco, attended almost exclusively by people who don’t live in San Francisco. Almost all the “activists” in the WFL are congregants, bussed in from the suburbs and beyond (last time I went, there were people from congregations from out of state). I imagine the organizers think it’s clever to hold the march in San Francisco, a hotbed of sin and progressive thought. Thankfully, their bullshit anti-choice crapola doesn’t go unopposed. I’m looking forward to attending the counter protest today.

  • Don’t wear a man’s cap.
  • Don’t wear tight garters.
  • Don’t forget your toolbag

  • Don’t ignore the laws of the road because you are a woman.
  • Don’t try to ride in your brother’s clothes “to see how it feels.”

  • Don’t emulate your brother’s attitude if he rides parallel with the ground.
  • Don’t undertake a long ride if you are not confident of performing it easily.

Finally, some antler porn I don’t need to feel bad about: shed antlers!

Jim Phillips, 59, has been hunting shed antlers Montana public lands for the past 50 years. This Three Forks native’s phenomenal shed antler collection  comprises some 14,500 sheds displayed from floor to ceiling—inside a 30 x 64-foot building he constructed  specifically for its display. And, yes, he personally found every one.
