If it feels like it’s the end of the world, don’t despair! Come see incredible post-apocalyptic artwork with your friends on May 31st from 5-7 pm at No. 7 Center Gallery in Vermillion, South Dakota for the opening reception of the Thunderdomesticity: The F-Word exhibition. While dressing up is not required, I will peer-pressure you into putting together a post-apocalyptic outfit because this is the 3rd annual Thunderdomesticity Party! #thunderdomesticity#ArtReception#dystopian#SouthDakota
It's official: #SouthDakota officials have certified a proposed amendment that would enshrine #abortion access in the state's constitution to appear on the November ballot.

Blame #SouthDakota for #Noem. Blame #NorthDakota for #Burgum.
Let's get this straight, people!
Ignorance of the two Dakotas may be convenient to most who simply fly over, but its alienating as hell to those of us who are living it on the ground.
