Yeah, move on!

That’s easier said than done, especially when the break up came all of a sudden.

My heart convinced my mind to hold on to the memories.

GOP Supports Equal Pay, Unanimously Votes against It

While ISIL dominates the news, Congress continues to vote against the people of the United States. In last night’s vote, the four female GOP senators joined the rest of their caucus in a unanimous vote against the Paycheck Fairness Act. It was the third time since 2012 that the GOP has voted down the bill. The legislation required 60 votes to move on to debate but received only 52, a unanimous vote from Democrats.

New Hampshire’s Kelly Ayotte (left) thinks that it would prohibit merit-based pay. She also voted against it because Democrats opposed her amendment to the legislation.

Maine’s Susan Collins (second from left) thinks that the Civil Rights Act the 1963 Equal Pay Act are enough protection to provide equal pay. According to Collins, the proposed law would “impose a real burden … on small businesses.” She thinks that women get paid less because of their own choices.

(I was just called a “Warrior Teacher Knitting Goddess” I think that might be my favourite compliment ever).
I am weary
War is exhausting work
Protect democracy
Fight one battle at a time
under emotional
and financial strain
Ready to go the distance,
and now they announce
a truce, a treaty, an agreement.
The evil despot smiles
and claims a mutual victory
With narrowed eyes
I doubt.
I have seen lies
pour like water from those lips
and I will never trust that truth
is in her words.
The generals say
it is over, if I say it is over.
I am setting down my
metaphorical sword
cautiously
with looks over my shoulder
ready to pick up the picket
and battle again
if the conditions of surrender
prove unpalatable.
Democracy is worth
personal devastation,
but it is exhausting work
being a warrior.
