The Last Rose of Summer is a true story about corruption in #cancer research. I discovered a cheap, plant-derived drug that could replace some much more toxic (but more lucrative) therapies. #BigPharma got involved and suppressed the research. Eventually I had to publish the story in thinly veiled fiction and survive a bunch of murder attempts. "Mary Austin" is a pseudonym, as my publisher forced me to use one. So... hi, I'm "Mary." 🤷♀️

Indeed. No thanks to you, NYT, we're going to save US democracy.

Addendum: lol, I forgot I took a picture of the cake.
What a weird fucking time to be alive. Good cake, though.

Protest Thread #109: "The Battle of New Orleans"
Trump's trashy spectacle in DC, which he apparently slept through, was met with nationwide Obama Appreciation Day activities. I was disappointed at first that there weren't big marches planned, but I understand the thinking: ratings are everything to him. We showed him we can have a much better party than he can, with much better ratings!
Where I am, we had a protest-mutual aid fair-fun fair with a whole bunch of groups.

On the bright side, the Women's March put up specialty port a lets in #WashingtonDC in Farragut Square. After all, Trump put port a lets all over the White House lawn, so why not? Their point is, this is where Trump's shit belongs.

A view inside the port a let shows toilet paper with Donald Trump's face on each square:

Turning Point is still trying to do events, eh? Well, at this point even Billings, #Montana is probably not going to turn out... except to protest.

Protest thread #108: We are here for everyone
We had nice weather for our bridge protest today. I stopped at a Mexican restaurant beforehand so I could buy a bottle of water and use their bathroom before the protest. I had a whistle kit in my purse, which I gave to the lady who rang me up. She was very happy to learn there is an emergency number to call if she sees ICE.
We put up our banners and didn't get a single middle finger for two hours!

Protests in Tennessee against the regime's erosion of democracy. These people deserve representation.

“To those who continue to work for ICE: Resign. To those who control this facility: Leave,” [Portland mayor Keith] Wilson wrote. “Through your use of violence and the trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame.”
