It really stuck out that the women on this journey with you, Busy, are all MOMS!! Women fighting for choice are baby haters. In fact, we are nurturers that care about the well-being of others and of society. And for our bums, obvs!!!
Hi! Can anyone share the quote from this week's podcast, where Busy's IG friend discusses something to the extent of why we must stay positive because fear is the tool of the oppressor? (life isn't allowing me to re-listen to podcast right now!). thank you!!
Busy and Caissie don’t stop fighting! Listening to the podcast has truly changed me. I have been strongly influenced by my very conservative father my whole life, but listening to you guys (as well as my much smarter than me younger sister) I am now no longer scared to share/believe my true views on so many things! I have made donations I would have been scared to make before. I have stared having conversations I would NEVER have had before. I know it’s sucks right now, but you have at least made a big difference in my life so I am beyond thankful!
Phenomenal! Thank you for creating this space and sharing this experience. Reading it makes me feel like we ARE ALL TOGETHER. It is the only way we will SURVIVE. <3
When I think about our rights being stripped before us- it’s all about the corrupt deals of more than the right wing religious cult of the Republicans. Manchin clearly knows his mostly white population has a very deep problem of addiction,no hope due to their bleak surroundings. No jobs, shuttered businesses, and Manchin keeps this charade going whilst he parties with Republicans on his yacht. The big charades of refusing brown and black people entry via the borders is so we “ think” the low level workers looking for freedom and work aren’t really our slaves. They are brutally assaulted at the border and without them to pick crops or work hardcore construction clean up, babysit for families where would the US economy be? It would suffer horribly without this slavery. The thing about Hispanics wanting the chance to do whatever it takes to be part of our country is- they do not want this life for their children. Their children won’t pick crops but look for a higher education. Not all but enough that it infuriates the Republicans plan like it did when Blacks sought to own homes, seek higher education, hold elected offices etc. I think the big take away is us controlling the narrative we want to see for women,POC and our environment. The messaging has to be exact. And we no longer can say “ oh we need two more Senators so we basically negate Manchin and Sinema. They aren’t part of our fabric. They need to be outed and controlled by our wants and needs as a party that will not stand for eroding our democracy and freedom of choice. We must control the narrative.
Busy - This was a fun and inspiring read. The details and your written voice are so enjoyable to read. You and Caissie could write one kick ass sitcom or any genre (dark comedy or dark comedy/drama?) with at least some voice over narration.
Thank you for protesting and getting arrested! When we marched in the Women’s March NYC- they only planned for 50,000 people to show. 500,000 showed! I was pleased I hadn’t eaten or drank anything after 6 pm the night before. There weren’t any bathrooms on our route- that we could get to! For me bathroom location is always a thing!!
OMF-ingG I haven’t even finished the article, but I just have to share: I think this is why I love listening to Busy. I’m the exact same person bringing up the super-relevant-but-no-things-to-say question, ie about butts being burned. I’ve been that person so many frickin times this year alone.
Sometimes it feels really lonely constantly being the odd person out. Hearing your stories makes me feel better about the whole thing.
Also, this is not a “woe is me” thing, I have a lot of friends and I’m really respected at work, but in the moment, it’s sometimes a little rough. (I was a giant nerd as a kid, so probably why)
the moon was in Virgo which explains the hyper Organization
We need to all contact my senator DICK DURBIN who is the democratic whip to tell him to block Biden’s nomination of Chad Meredith ( an anti abortion judge from KY)
I JUST SAW THAT NOMINATION ANNOUNCEMENT! 🤬🤬🤬 i mean, how did nobody over there (at the WH) see what was happening?! Like how could they have ever thought that was ok?!
It’s a real Scorpion and the frog moment happening again. Which drives me nuts bc Biden is a Scorpio....
I’m like DO SOME DIABOLICAL LONG GAME MANEUVERING YOU OLD FART
But literally once again, Mitch is promising to do them a solid if they let they let his KY buddy thru.
I’m throwing a fit in IL at dick durbin’s local office so if y’all can all email ( contact form on his webpage) and tell him to block Meredith it could make some noise.
Ok do your political work for one hour today then go find some JOY bc fuck them they won’t steal that from us.
Busy, you are such a great writer. Substack Four-Eva!

We were there too! I honestly don’t remember using the bathroom...
Oh I found a secret bathroom or two that day! 😉
I love Busy and her hot butt.
Thank you for all of this! You are out there, boots (and butt) on the ground, fighting the good fight. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Ok back to reading the article!!!
OMG! Totally can relate! 😂 I say things then I’m like....WTF.....did I just say that out loud!? 😆
Yes that’s totally it !!! 😂😂😂
Also, this is not a “woe is me” thing, I have a lot of friends and I’m really respected at work, but in the moment, it’s sometimes a little rough. (I was a giant nerd as a kid, so probably why)
*super-relevant-but-no-one-thinks-to-say question
What a cliff hanger! I’m loving everything about this story so far! 😄
