Comedians just make the most sense to me in terms of worldviews right now. Because shit is RIDICULOUS.
The best way to explain the bullshit bills republicans in Congress were trying to pass in order to limit what constitutes as rape for abortion coverage is in this Daily Show video.
In case anyone was wondering how "rape jokes" can be provakative and subversive, there ya go.
THANK YOU.

Capricorn
In the past couple of years I have gotten really into whorescopes. love'm. I wonder if this is because I've done so much deconstructing social stereotypes that I've started channeling my need to generalize in this direction. I'm really progressive with race, gender, sexuality and ability, but I don't much like Aries or Scorpios.
When I told my Mom when I was dating a woman it was really emotional for me because I was worried she wouldn't be okay with it. She was. But she got really mad when she found out the woman I was dating was an Aries. Aries tend to be really self centered and rash, just flailing around and charging at shit with their stupid ram heads. But hey, I have a really good friend that's an Aries.
Anyway, my horscopes lately have been super relevant to my comedy career. Like really literal. Like this one from Free Will Astrology:
Stand-up comedian Arj Barker says that when he writes each of his jokes, he's thinking that all he needs to do is make it funny enough to get at least three people in the audience to laugh at it. More than three is gravy, and he hopes he does get more. But if he can just get those three, he believes, he will always get a lot of work in his chosen profession. In accordance with the astrological rhythms, Capricorn, I urge you to adopt a similar approach. To be successful in the coming days, you don't need an approval rating of 80 percent.
How did they know?
Also, I just really relate to being a goat/fish. okay?
