Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Fundamental belief of white supremacy: white people are presumed innocent, minorities are presumed guilty.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

We can show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

Live so that if you miss a day of work people aren’t hoping you’re dead.

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

It’s always darkest before the other shoe drops.

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Not rolling over. fuck you, make me.

If you don’t believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn’t freedom, it is privilege.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

T R E 4 5 O N

It is not hopeless, and we are not helpless.

Hi god, it’s us. Thanks a heap, you’re having a great week and it’s only Thursday!

President Musk and Trump are both poorly raised, coddled 8 year old boys.

Cancel the cowardly Times and Post and set up an equivalent monthly donation to ProPublica.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

The end of my “Grift-athon” is nigh!

So listen here, y’all.  I made an off-hand joke about sending tote bags to those who donated to my fundraiser.  But then it occurred to me that I really should send a little somethin’-somethin’ to those who donate to my fundraiser.  After all, if I don’t, then you’re not going to give me the rest of your cash next spring, right?

So it’s happening, people!  I’m sending you a tote bag, which I will make with my own two hands!  (If you donated less than 20 bucks, I’ll send you a sticker — maybe scratch ‘n sniff. )1

The amazing Amanda Underwood (aka @underwoodchamp) offered her graphic design stylings to create a logo for my new craft adventure, and voila!

 

(This is one of the logos Amanda has created and while I’m not sure which one I will go with, this is one of them.)

So send me a few ducets (There’s a widget in the side bar and a direct link is here.  You can also donate directly via Paypal by clicking “Donate” on the sidebar.) —

— and I’ll send you some supersweet ABLC swag.

Thanks very much to those who have donated and thanks to all who support me by reading.

-ABLxx

UPDATE: Here is a second logo design.  I’m really jazzed about this one!

I may try to set up some sort of store so that people can pick which one they want. I’m sure not everyone wants to roam the earth with a giant picture of my ass as an accessory. (I also have assless designs.)

Anywhoozle, as I figure this all out, I’ll keep folks updated. If you hadn’t figured it out by now, I’m a very “fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants” kind of gal.

I plan to get these shipped in time for the holidays.

1 It won’t be scratch ‘n sniff.

    who WOULDN’T want to have your ass always to hand?

    ETA: ok, that came off really skeezy. I meant it as a bit of cute snark. Good luck fundraising. Sadly all my good causes money for the next 6 months is sucked into the good cause of moving me and the partner to the other side of the planet.

    Hey ABL why don’t you move to my (new) hometown? That’s Brookings, OR. The cost of living isn’t bad, I’d love to know you AND we don’t have enough black folk here. And I’ll buy you drinks. And we have some pretty nice beaches. And the place is beautiful. No snark.

    Just out of curiosity, what the significance of a baby’s butt as a logo?

    When I saw the title “The End of My Griftathon is Nigh,” I thought it was going to be a story about Herman Cain.

    Final Time: I would love to donate, but I don’t do it over the intertubes. Need an address so I can send a check. I sent you an email about 3 weeks ago saying this. If you lost it, get with John, he can get my email & has my permission to give it to you.
