It's a Person!

Teagan Bernstein-Meachum was born Wednesday, February 21st, at 4:00 in the afternoon at eighty miles an hour on the eastbound side of I-88. Not willing to wait patiently to be birthed in Oak Park, she demanded to take direct action against car culture and the memory of Ronald Reagan. Accordingly, she caused the arrival of four ambulances, one ( Read more... )

ZOMGSQUEE! ---does the happy "Kit had her baby" dance---

We are so happy for you guys! How is Kit doing? How are YOU doing? I have the urge now to go out and buy many baby-related gifts and then come over and make cooing, mushy, unintelligible noises at her! Is there anything that you guys particularly need?

Oh, man...I can see it now - you, Kit and Teagan at protests and promoting Mad Pride and doing all sorts of other wonderfulamazing things. Dammit! Now I have to go find a baby-sized gas mask.

P.S. If hir first words are not "Fuck the Patriarchy" or something equally as anarchist-y, I will be very, very disappointed. ;-P

Kit is okay. it's a bit of a challenge to find any position that's comfortable, but it's been like that for months.
We need revolution, and lots and lots a money, really. I'm working on the latter, and hopefully I can work some more on the first sometime.

I do have little daydreams about activisty thangs with teagan. You gonna have to split off with the black bloc to come hang out with teagan, cause she ain't gonna be hanging out with them during a protest!

Well...she'll be signing before she speaks, hopefully. If we invent a little "milk" sign for her that isn't derived from cows, does that count?

Thank you!

sweet, signs! haze will be full of happyness. mebbe he can help teach all y'all some!

That'd be cool. We'll be starting with really basic things, like "diaper" "milk" "scared" "up" etc... (and those aren't necessarily gonna be proper ASL, depending on how complex the movements are.) I'd like for her to learn ASL and spoken spanish along with spoken english, but we gotta work on our own knowledge of ASL and spanish.

Yeah, I was kinda freaked out that she was born on the Reagan...until I realized she was fucking shit up for all the drivers.
