If this woman was alive today, she’d have my vote. Shit.

#she put frederick douglass on her ballot as v.p. too #unfortunately he didn’t know about it at the time #he read about it in the papers and was like ‘is this chick serious’

instant historical crush

She wasn’t actually a prostitute, apparently; that was something her opponents put about to discredit her. Because any woman who speaks out in favor of women’s sexual autonomy, defends people who cohabit without being married, and condemns the double-standards of male vs. female sexuality is totally a whore, amirite? (It seems she was personally against prostitution, but she argued in favor of its legalization so that it could be better regulated and safer, or at least published others’ arguments to that effect.) The rest seems to be reasonably true, though!

Will you join in our resistance?   Who will be strong and stand with me?Somewhere beyond the barricade  Is there a world you long to see?  Then join in the fight.    That will give you the right to be free!! 

that’s some old stuff, considering. it’s been a year since i’ve brewed anything more than kombucha. the wineberry mead really did need to sit for two years. this summer, like then, i’ll be hanging off the steep hillside between the road and the fishing hole, knee-deep in poison ivy and chest-deep in the soft briars of wineberry canes, filling buckets. the side’s so steep i tie a rope to the guardrail to slide myself down, but for  half an acre of pure umblemished wineberry, it’s worth it. and there’s the river to dunk in after.

step 1 

step 2 ????
