Generally speaking, one runs for a place on the Board and the Board chooses their President. Who then needs to continue working with the other Board members. Ousting is not an option.

Getting on the Board is still a good way to get your pet peeves changed, though. Often it’s just a matter of focusing attention on it.

I appreciate the article saying “contrary to predictions” rather than “despite the overturning” as in the summary. Because anyone with any sense knew it would pan out this way. The summary wording sounds as it would be logical to assume the bans would result in fewer abortions. The article wording correctly allows that it’s the predictors (those pushing the forced-birth agenda) who were wrong.

Make pregnancy even more dangerous and force knowledgeable OBGYNs to abandon your state? Spur the sympathy of women throughout the land and the mobilization of pro-choice “auntie networks” who may never have understood the plight of poor women without access to care before? And do it in a pandemic-altered economy where remotely-accessed products and healthcare have become routine?

Classic FAFO.

Oh Arnold Lobel has confirmed it. He was closeted until 1974 himself.

Yes! They’re more expensive but so worth it. It not just comfort/appearance, you also see better through thinner plastic. And they’re better able to stay in place without falling off and getting scratched.

Btw, the best way to protect your glasses is to keep them on your face. Have a safe container on your nightstand, use museum goo if you worry about it falling off. If you have to put them down, leave the arms open so the lenses stay 90° from the surface, and always put them someplace that’s higher than your waist.

Personally I clean mine with less than a drop of dish soap (or liquid hand soap in an emergency) and running water, and once I’ve gently washed them, I turn the stream low along the edge so it runs off both sides without leaving drops. Then I wipe the frame but not the lenses, only dab any stubborn last drop to remove it. In most cases it’s better to put up with some temporary dirt particles until you can clean safely, than to wipe and create permanent scratches.

It’s especially irritating when it’s something like a wedding invitation, they should know you well enough to get it right! Often that comes down to some old fuddy-duddy’s misogyny.

Even if she had taken your surname, she still has her own first name, not John!
