“Whoever came up with the ida of labeling classified documents with larger-than-life red stenciling that advertises—or at least hints at—the contents was a schmuck, I think.

Why all this, and never a thought to the fact that more men have torn up the world than women?” BlameCuriosityAccountabilityMisogynySexistChristina DalcherFemlandiaWorld Ruining Book:Femlandia Source: Femlandia
“You can start small, Jeanie," she said. "Attend some rallies, hand out flyers, talk to a few people about issues. You don't have to change the world all by yourself, you know." And the usual catchphrases ensued: grassroots, one step at a time, it's the little things, hope-change-yes-we-can!.” PoliticsGrassroots Book:Vox Source: Vox
