When I tell people to delete anon hate, to not publish it, it’s not me saying “ignore it and it’ll stop; don’t fight back.” It is 100% petty and spiteful. Honestly, I can’t think of anything better than the person who sent the hate obsessively checking your blog and refreshing and refreshing, waiting for you to reply, and getting increasingly frustrated when the ask they so masterfully crafted never pops up & you just keep posting cute pictures of your pets and talking about how nice your day was.

Hey guys, I’ll make this as quick and to the point as humanly possible:
I am pregnant and absolutely cannot be right now, and cannot afford an abortion.
I found out I was pregnant yesterday and immediately called to make an appointment with the closest PP, which happens to be an hour and a half away. Disappointingly, my home state of Arkansas is one of the hardest states to get an abortion in, and one of the ways they keep it from being accessible is by keeping it expensive. Even after asking about funding options and getting the reduced price of $488-625, I may not be able to have all of the funds + gas and other bills I have to pay this month ready by my Sept 21st appointment.
This is incredibly time sensitive in regards to my health, as I struggle with severe anemia and chronic migraines, and this past week has been hell on me. Making it to class alone is taking almost everything out of me, and I don’t know how much longer I can manage my schedule and stay afloat like this. To make things worse concerning time, I may have to schedule my second appointment as soon as humanly possible after the first appointment because I believe myself to be anywhere from 4-8 weeks along, which leaves me even less time to come up with my money.
I’m a 20 year old, full time college student enrolled in 21 hours this semester and trying to graduate in May. I don’t have time to work due to having 2 internships so I get a small amount of money from my parents to live on each month. I would ask my parents for help, but both my parents and my boyfriend’s parents are vehemently pro-life. I am certain that my parents would disown me if I were to seek an abortion, and I am terrified beyond any amount I have ever felt before that the other outcome of them finding out is that I may be forced to carry this pregnancy.
As of this morning, I have scraped up a little over $70 in loose change (lmao, we do what we must, right?), and sold about $80 worth of textbooks, but that’s still a little up in the air. My boyfriend is currently picking up as many extra hours as he can to help, but only has about $200 in savings and still needs to buy groceries, gas, and pay bills himself. We’re doing what we can to cut costs and pull money out of thin air, but we both already live pretty minimally anyway.
Trust me, I’ve exhausted almost every possible option for assistance, and it’s only been about 24 hours since I found out. I’ve already spent 40 minutes on hold with NAF 3 times, and am getting discouraged. Furthermore, as per the only fund in Arkansas’ rules, I have to get through to NAF and speak with them before I can even contact them. I hate to beg on the internet, but if any of you have any spare amount you would be willing to donate, even a dollar or two, it all adds up and would make such a difference! Anonymity is key for me right now, but the paypal I created for this is paypal.me/lucivix . Again, any little amount would help tremendously! Please, please – and thank you in advance!
Damn reading that was like 2 steps forward and then 6 steps back

i can see a reason her serving only one day was a good thing
One of the senators from Georgia died in the middle of his term, and they had a special election in November, 1922. Georgia Governor Thomas Hardwick was running, and he also got to select someone to sit in the vacant seat until the election. He chose Felton because he had opposed the Nineteenth Amendment (women’s suffrage) before its adoption in 1920 and thought that appointing Felton would win back women voters. He lost to Walter F. George, who was sworn in the day after Felton was, which is why she only served one day.
All of these people were Georgia Democrats, in an era when the Democrats were the party of white conservatives and the Republicans were the party of white liberals. Felton was terrible, but she wasn’t replaced because of it – the fellow who won the election wasn’t much better.
“I agree with Alan.” said Terry Arsehole, Gammon King of All The Gammons, when Pointless Letters reached out for comment. “Just the other day my June was in Morrisons and bought some French apples. As a result of this shameless treachery I’m now crowdfunding to build a wicker man to throw her in. Harsh, maybe, but that’s democracy for you.”
