It's been one of those weeks

Hesus Christa!
Spent the morning at the North Los Angeles Lacy Street Animal Shelter looking for my asshole cat who decided to go take a vacation around the block and go missing for 10 fucking hours, work is insane, i got in a car accident, I'm turning twenty-nine, i hate all people who aren't girls, and my tape recorder broke and my card was declined at the gas station. It happens.
Please universe hear my cry, dear Xenu, dear the prophet with your beautiful weird dancing watercolor pictures and your borderline annoying platitudes, dear animal kingdom, dear clouds and hari krishna's and jesus freaks and the lightning and the rain, get me the fuck through this week. Dear bats that sail on light blue cloudless dawns and hide in dank covers, dear Anthony Kiedis bridge, dear Kurt Cobain bridge, dear Potland, dear Chicago, dear deep dish pizza, dear Manhattan, dear grass and sun and earth and moon: UGGH on you.

We have to expand civil and political rights in countries that are plagued by poverty, hunger, and disease. But our pleas will fall on deaf ears unless democracy actually improves people's lives while weeding out the corruption that too often stands in the way of progress.

Our foreign policy must reflect our deep commitment to help millions of oppressed people around the world. And of particular concern to me is the plight of women and girls, who comprise the majority of the world's unhealthy, unschooled, unfed, and unpaid. If half the world's population remains vulnerable to economic, political, legal and social marginalization, our hope of advancing democracy and prosperity is in serious jeopardy. The United States must be an unequivocal and unwavering voice in support of women's rights in every country on every continent.
