Congressional Responses to Dobbs

With all of the attention focused on the Supreme Court in light of the Dobbs decision Congress' responses have been largely ignored. Here is some context for how Congress' response to Dobbs has gone so far.

The Supreme Court released its opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health on June 24, 2022. Within a little over a month of the release, a robust discussion developed within both Houses of Congress on whether there should be a legislative response to this decision. Congress is notorious for lots of discussion combined with little action. Based on Congress’ recent history, perhaps nothing will…

I’m Valerie! I’m a college student who’s been working on this one story since I was 15. I’m 20 now. It’s called mindscape. Here’s the leave behind I wrote for a class:

Mindscape is a psych horror following the lives of the psychologists and interns who work at the Crisis Elimination Clinic. Patients are admitted into the CEC in place of a baker act where their minds are literally gone into by interns, psychedelic style. The game takes place in 2045, exploring the psyches, or mindscapes, of various patients. A strong focus is on the interns and the psychologists, and how they feel concerning their roles at this corrupt clinic.

I really care about this story and honestly leaving asks and engaging would make my day. Genuinely. I actually adore thinking about this and talking about this so I thought I’d finally make all of this its own blog. I’ll be reblogging my posts from my main about this for organizational purposes.

DNI minors because I think about these people having sex all the time. I’ll block you in fact (for my peace of mind) and terfs and all of that cause you’ll hate this and I hate you!

@astheworldcomestoanend you asked for this

We start with the obvious, Grant wrote a book and is a librarian. College educated, masters in library science maybe? Anyway the boy likes his literature, this is canon and I love him.

Now for the fun part

As Lark got older, and with the Close-Foster-Freeman custody nightmare, Lark turned to Glenn as a father figure. Glenn, as Glenn does, tried to share his passion for music with his new protege. But Lark was never any good with writing the rhymes, and strict rules that go into writing songs and verses and choruses. What he DID love was poetry. Irregular rhythm and odd rhyme schemes, and when life felt too hard to explain he found that someone somewhere had felt that way before, and had written it down. Every time it felt like a love note passed through history, the reassurance that this too shall pass, whatever this was at the moment he was feeling it.

And Grant got that. By all means they didn’t agree on everything, (Lark still can’t understand Grant’s objectivity when it comes to the Plath Vs Hughes debate*) but when Lark was overwhelmed and couldn’t process what was emotionally and mentally exhausting him, Grant knew how to help.

When they’re still teenagers, Grant reads Lark Stephen Crane’s ‘in the desert’ and uses it to help reframe how Lark thinks about himself in relation to his guilt, and his self loathing and self destructive patterns. That even though your heart is bitter, it’s still your heart. And it gives him permission to forgive himself for the mistakes he made when he was 12 years old

Lark found no shortage of poetry about having mixed feelings about your parents and not knowing how to talk to your dad, side note there is so much of those poems, Tony Harrison, Sylvia Plath, Philip Larkin - I could go on but damn I’ve written so much already. more poetry HCs in the tags also

yes i will take questions because literature is such a passion of mine and always has been but all my irl friends are sick of listening to me going on about it lol

#*yes this is deeply personal argument that has come up a lot in my circles and I have incorporated it into a fic that may come out some time #when rebecca is nervous about motherhood he reads her metaphors by sylvia plath #book ends by tony harrison blew his fucking mind #this be the verse by philip larkin #honestly the whole ariel collection by plath #Lark is a Plath stan because i'm projecting and i said so #feminine gospels by carol ann duffy was rec from mercedes or samantha and also blew his mind #lark got super into 1984 but grant thinks its overated #lark and grant both cried over flowers for algernon #on a funnier note i imagine them reading death of a salesman and being like what the fuck this guy is like a less aggressive willy #god #lark oak garcia #grant wilson dndads #dndads

Noemí, just because there are no ghosts it doesn’t mean you can’t be haunted. Nor that you shouldn’t fear the haunting.

i feel like seeing these three stacked against one another says more about my personality and my general state of mind than anything else. ironically, all three of these make killer soundtracks to read books to.

Close-Up Video Shows Texas Floating Barrier Has Circular Saws

— By Khaleda Rahman | August 9, 2023 | Newsweek

Migrants walk after crossing the Rio Grande River into the United States in Eagle Pass, Texas as seen from Piedras Negras, Coahuila State, Mexico on August 4, 2023. Democratic Rep. Sylvia Garcia has called the installation of the barrier "inhumane." Guillermo Arias/AFP Via Getty Images

The wrecking ball-sized buoys that make up the floating barrier that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott installed in July in the Rio Grande have circular saws between them, according to a video posted by Rep. Sylvia Garcia.

"Appalled by the ongoing cruel and inhumane tactics employed by @GovAbbott at the Texas border," Garcia, a Democrat, wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter, alongside the clip. "The situation's reality is unsettling as these buoys' true danger and brutality come to light. We must stop this NOW!"

Mexican authorities said last week that two bodies had been recovered from the river in recent days, including one that was caught in the floating barrier. One body was found stuck in the lines of orange buoys, Mexico's Foreign Relations Department said in a statement on August 2. A second body was recovered about three miles upriver from the buoys, The Associated Press reported.

A repost of the video by Laiken Jordahl, a Southwest conservation advocate with the Center for Biological Diversity, amassed more than 8 million views.

The center is an environmental group where Jordahl works to protect wildlife, ecosystems, and public lands throughout the Southwest desert and U.S-Mexico borderlands, according to its website.

"Abbott has installed circular saws between the Rio Grande border buoys to maim or kill anyone who attempts to climb over," Jordahl wrote in the post. "Two bodies have already been found trapped in the floating barrier. He wants more migrants to die."

Jordahl told Newsweek: "Each day the floating wall, saw blades and concertina wire are allowed to stay up, more migrants will be injured or killed and more wildlife will suffer.

"Governor Abbott is turning this beautiful river into a death trap for people and wildlife. Our wildlands and communities will not be turned into war zones. Abbott must be stopped."

The U.S. Justice Department is suing Abbott over the barrier, after warning that it violates federal law and raises humanitarian concerns for migrants crossing into the country from Mexico. The lawsuit is asking a court to force Texas to remove it.

"We allege that Texas has flouted federal law by installing a barrier in the Rio Grande without obtaining the required federal authorization," Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said in a statement in late July.

"This floating barrier poses threats to navigation and public safety and presents humanitarian concerns. Additionally, the presence of the floating barrier has prompted diplomatic protests by Mexico and risks damaging U.S. foreign policy."

Hey I saw your tags about the woman and spaceship on that sci Fi Story post and I'd like to read that story! Do you remember what it's called ? Love your blog btw!

Hi!! I had to go dig through all my old Lovecraftian short story anthologies to find this one, and of course it had to be in the very last one I checked! The short story about a spaceship and a woman was "Boojum" by Elizabeth Bear & Sarah Monette, which I read collected in The Book Of Cthulhu II, edited by Ross. E. Lockhart, but can now be read here!

#answered #anonymous #it's funny looking back at these old anthologies bc i read htem all when i was maybe 14-16ish?#but now looking back at them im like 'oh caitlin r kiernan. oh neil gaiman. oh sylvia moreno-garcia.'#like i know these authors now from novels i've read and loved but i actually met them like five years before i even recognized the names...#anyways hope u check out the short story! i reread it recently and i'm still inordinately fond of it #(another ask with any thoughts you might have ofc will be appreciated but is not mandatory)

Noemí, like any good socialite, shopped at the Palacio de Hierro, painted her lips with Elizabeth Arden lipstick, owned a couple of very fine furs, spoke English with remarkable ease, courtesy of the nuns at the Monserrat—a private school, of course—and was expected to devote her time to the twin pursuits of leisure and husband hunting. Therefore, to her father, any pleasant activity must also involve the acquisition of a spouse. That is, she should never have fun for the sake of having fun, but only as a way to obtain a husband. Which would have been fine and well if Father had actually liked Hugo, but Hugo was a mere junior architect, and Noemí was expected to aspire higher.
