As a former college president, I cannot imagine bowing to this kind of un-American authoritarianism. They would have to drag me out by the balls, so to speak.
BTW. E Jean your book!! I ordered you reading it which is a totally indescribably marvelous experience. I’ve been driving everywhere and nowhere as if you are sitting next to me in the passenger seat unloading this….. STORY…
In your own voice your own unique way - grim grizzly gross horrifying told with a touch like a sprinkle of salt- sorta lightens it without losing any of the horror. The freak should be in jail. You are my hero. May you find love again. It is never too late- take it from your “sister” at 87.
Order it anyway! It’s the best chat without anyone else being in the room. E.Jean has me laughing, swearing a blue streak and sometimes all at once. I love audiobooks for memoirs when the author narrates. Makes it more personal, in a way. Go for it! :)
Yes!! If we had President Harris right now, how wonderful would things be? Strong democracy, compassionate laws protecting the rights of us all, respect for the constitution, respect on the world stage, and logical complete sentences every day. So much dejavú now. I remember these same wistful thoughts after we didn’t get to have Hillary Clinton as our president
My local NO KINGS protests were organized and run by women, and they did a superb job. I've always believed that women are better at getting things done, and I followed that principle when I was a corporate executive...about a million years ago.
No, we just have to withhold sex for the congressmen AND women until they pass the proper legislation for women’s rights, health, sexual abuse .. maybe we get all the congressmen and SCOTUS
i've been practicing matrimonial law for 45 years, will achieve age 80 this fall, and am ready for serious action to preserve what's left of this daily-crumbling nation of laws.
having successfully marched to gain our civil rights in the 60's and beyond, girlfriends, we surely now have the educations, experiences and collective wisdom to lead the return to sanity now.
My first thought when I saw this was...I don't know a single woman in my life who would collapse so quickly.
But we need to remember there are not-great women on the other side of the fence - I'm thinking about Lauren Sanchez's "let them eat cake" extravaganza wedding, and all the guests there. Thankfully, I don't keep women like that in my life - compromised women, women more attracted to external (male) power than to their own internal integrity. When you have yourself to answer to - your own conscience, your own knowledge of what's right and what's not - well, a lot (a LOT) of men and the women who "love" them don't have this inner compass. Or they ignore it.
It's not enough to say that we need more women in power - Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, Amy Conan Barrett are women in power. We need women OF INTEGRITY in power. And I know approximately several hundred who would not be cowed by a presidential administration trying to bully them into resigning. Fuck the cowards. We ride at dawn.
Ach. We always end up cleaning up after MAGA. Let’s just get the hell on with this. Pick up the broom of justice, the dustpan of denialism, the trash bags for all the negativity that has piled up, and a mop and bucket to do a thorough job of de-mucking our democracy!

Ahhhhhh! I love hearing this, MaryMaude!!!!
Also, E. Jean, you know the story of my mom who fell in love FOR THE FIRST TIME at 93!

Oh wow! Now I wish I’d ordered the audio version!
Yes!! Shoulda ordered the audio. Absolutely unique- like being with EJean while she tells it…
Check back in after a few chapters

Order it anyway! It’s the best chat without anyone else being in the room. E.Jean has me laughing, swearing a blue streak and sometimes all at once. I love audiobooks for memoirs when the author narrates. Makes it more personal, in a way. Go for it! :)

Yes! I think we have more balls than men.

You're a HERO! 👑👑👑
Wish I could do more.
EJEAN you got the energy the pulse the leadership the wisdom and the BALLS to lead RUN FOR OFFICE!

If we could—temporarily—chemically induce menopause on women of all ages we could do a collective power grab. #OuttaFucksUnite
LOVE IT!!!!!
Brilliant!
It would really help, great idea!
OMG - love this! But don't think we need menopause to get ourselves into the zone.
No, we just have to withhold sex for the congressmen AND women until they pass the proper legislation for women’s rights, health, sexual abuse .. maybe we get all the congressmen and SCOTUS
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
perfect headline, e. jean.
so: let's all figure out what to really do.
i've been practicing matrimonial law for 45 years, will achieve age 80 this fall, and am ready for serious action to preserve what's left of this daily-crumbling nation of laws.
having successfully marched to gain our civil rights in the 60's and beyond, girlfriends, we surely now have the educations, experiences and collective wisdom to lead the return to sanity now.
how best to do this??
