3 'political' links :)

1. An excellent article:

Hillary Clinton’s feminism: a conversation with Rebecca Traister
The American presidency is coded male. Hillary Clinton is breaking that mold.

2. A hilarious article (with thanks to Petzi):

Democrats Troll Donald Trump With a Taco Truck in Colorado
Colorado Democrats are setting up a taco truck outside of Donald Trump’s campaign office in Denver to register voters after a Trump surrogate said that more Mexicans moving to the United States would lead to “taco trucks on every corner.”

3. Something that might make you need a tissue (in a good way):

Letters to Hillary
(I can't choose a quote. Go read them all. So far they have only posted nine, so it won't take you long.)

Yaaaaaas, Hillary <3

(am still alive, btw. barely. three day weekend this weekend, dear, please, god.)

P.S.: I'm going to be sad to see Obama leave, but, like . . . Hillary <3

I literally do not care what scandals she is involved in. The fact that she is powerful enough to be a target to those scandals is enough.

Also, if we can afford billions of tax dollars to buy stealth bombers, we can afford to buy the Secretary of State a fucking secure Blackberry so she can do her job preventing your wars, mmmmmkay? Get your damn priorities in order, Washington.

Sorry . . . . long day. So many opinions about technology and the federal government and women in the public spotlight.

I collect links like it's going out of fashion. I'll never get to post them all...

Yeah, why is the start of the academic year SO BUSY? :(

Glad I could cheer you though.

Aww, those letters. I think the one from Nicolas hit me the most because he was so worried about his mum being deported.

[elisi]

Yes, the stakes are so incredibly high this time... And it'll hit kids the hardest. And they are clearly aware. Here's to hoping that we get a happy ending. :)

Those letters were great!

[elisi]

I absolutely couldn't not share... :)

Awwww those letters. We forget, children are paying attention.

[elisi]

They absolutely do. (The Clinton campaign even has an advert with that message.)

The Dems are on the ball! :)

They're definitely proving in this election cycle that they're far more creative.
