Jul 2022

It's my country and my flag. I will be attending a parade - it's really a classic car parade and they give candy to the kids like it's Halloween. I'll be taking my kids to see fireworks as well because they live them and it's been a tradition with my patents all our lives. This is the first year without either of my patents alive and I'm not talking that tradition away from my kids.

Before any "but, but..." I'm a woman of childbearing age. I am no one's livestock. I'm an American. I will fly my flag and watch my fireworks. I do so in protest of the fascists as well as the doomsayers.
