Since miscarriage is a big topic right now I want to remind you that there is a woman headed to the Supreme Court with views SO extreme that we risk women being investigated and criminally CHARGED for miscarriage.

Here is a man who has the dream. NFL career, cultural cache, money etc and instead of looking for a woman who will follow him around and be whatever makes his life & his dreams work, he is flying to Argentina to be Taylor’s biggest, cheesiest, cringiest love story fan.

If nothing else, I hope some small town HS football players see Travis and emulate THAT instead of the kind of man that pedastalizes a woman’s unending sacrifice while they vote for the guy who brags about grabbing women by the pussy. (End 🧵)

For over a decade we have watched powerful men try to force women to take less, be quiet, stay small & try not to attract the attention of dangerous patriotic white men. Now we have a front row set to the earnest pursuit & open adoration of an ambitious powerhouse.

No resentment visible, no jealousy. Just that kind of dreamy adolescent fantasy of a man that is totally secure in his masculinity without letting that define him choosing a woman that outshines him and enjoying it.

Travis on SNL solidified it. But a vocal & public crush on a woman who is & will always be FAR more famous & powerful than he was? Yes, it IS like a hallmark movie & it does put a sparkle in that Americana nostalgia but that’s not what is giving women my age palpitations.

Taylor with her die hard connection with her parents & Nashville start feels like the more aspirational parts of All American. She aligns with unions, takes care of her employees, takes no prisoners with her lyrics, activates voters and is unafraid to be “cringe”.

Those Kelce brothers though. They seem to be all the good things about traditional midwestern masculinity w/o the bullshit election denial. I mean, I fell in love with them during their brothers playing against each other at the Super Bowl arc.

The term “All American” & patriotism in general has been increasingly co-opted by the most far right, christian nationalist, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, homophobic set of voices out there. All ‘America First’ & anti-vax.

As such, 1/2 the voting members of the American population are cool with that if it keeps taxes for billionaires down. That (among other things) has created an ick factor about Americana that is pervasive for this small town Texas girl & others like me.

When fans rejected respectful BLM protest, I mourned is as another casualty of an increasing disconnect between an already fractured middle class. Obviously, football is problematic outside of politics but it is a part of this Texas girls nostalgia for childhood.

At Scouts I had them pick a community “church” and tell me a problem they see there. My 8 year old said, “women can’t be bishops”. The world run by people born post 1980 can’t come soon enough.

Dear God. Will there be less games that cater to a very specific demographic’s fantasy? Whatever will you do? Might you be forced to play or look at women you do not find attractive? Might you have to play a hero character that does not match your self expressed identity?

Tell me you’ve never been anything BUT Mormon without telling me you’ve never been anything BUT Mormon. Across the board those who leave orthodox community or practice share about it as a form of healing, connection or empowerment. As is their birthright. No one way to mormon.

Preemptive legislation is going to kill us all
Arizona, Arkansas, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Vermont & Florida have banned schools from requiring masks.
States that apparently believe in local control but really don’t.
