Okay, I'm going to try to live-tweet the Impeachment Hearings.
I'm coming in late because I had tech problems on my end. Chairman Schiff is outlining the concerns in a thoughtful manner. "The president has instructed witnesses to ignore subpoenas and refuse to appear." (All quotes from me are subject to user error; the feed isn't closed-captioned.) "If we find that the president abused his power ... must we simply 'Get Over It'? Is this what Americans should now expect? If this is not impeachable conduct, what is?" --Schiff
I haven't heard Schiff speak before; he's a very effective public speaker so far. Calm and measured, thoughtful, not grand-standing. Nunes is talking now. He, uh, strikes an immediate awful contrast to Schiff's calm. He's blasting Democrats for "smearing any Republican who ever shook hands with a Russian." Nunes is playing to the base and I don't know how well that will work. Instead of answering Schiff's thoughtful charges, he's complaining that Dems tried to obtain "nude photos" of Trump from Russians.
Shut Up!
Storify is shutting down in May and has informed users that we have to migrate our content elsewhere if we wish to save it. This is one of my old threads.
Texas Senate is starting, folks. Gonna go get soda and pain pills.
Couple of quick points. If I get Twitter Jail'd while reporting today, my Twitter Jail account is in my profile.
Dewhurst says they can't take up another 45 minutes. Stand by until 2:30.
@VictorianPrude: Uncomfortable, unsanitary sure but would be poetic justice to be leaving menstrual blood all over if DPS is throwing out tampons.
Why the hell is DPS looking for tampons? We don't have a constitutional right to bleed? @VictorianPrude

.@scATX Do you have the YouTube link for today?
@Shakestweetz: If you're getting coverage from someone independently reporting, remember they only get paid if we pay them. *cough* @scATX @AnaMardoll
@dreaflynn: Davis asks good question about how drs will would terminate a preg but prioritize saving life of baby?
IIUC, that means using methods that are MORE likely to cause complications for the woman. @dreaflynn
I.e., induced delivery instead of D&C. @dreaflynn

@Froborr: @brandyseago @HelloPoodle @anamardoll There is no polite way to strip someone of their rights or threaten their life.
@andreagrimes: Sen Nichols: "I don't think alternatives to abortion are related to #SB5." And there you have a perf. example of what's wrong with the GOP.
@JillBidenVeep: There's no "Texas" in vagina. #StandWithWendy
@TUSK81: Remember the last time a man had to filibuster for ten hrs in order to keep the gov't out of his genitals? Neither do I. #StandWithWendy

2013-06-25 Texas Senate Filibuster
@scATX: And I've heard the line is down and wrapped around the rotunda.
The livestream of the Senate is VERY QUIET. I'm understanding the filibuster has not started yet?
@scATX: No. NOTHING has started yet.
Shut Up!

So I am really excited about all we got done over the holidays and my holiday break from my day job. We finished the transcripts for HB2 and SB1 in time to hand them off to the editor and I spliced 132 citizen testimony videos and have started sending them out to people. That means we have officially spliced all the videos and that was a huge milestone to check off the list!
Lookit all that progress since last time! And that's in less than one month's time. We are officially awesome the end.

But! We could still use a lot of help. Out of my original ~99 volunteers, I have lost 46 people to life stuff that couldn't be helped. I currently have assignments out to almost everyone on my list, which means that (a) if you're a volunteer and you don't have an assignment, please let me know because I will happily give you one, and (b) if you're not a volunteer and you would like an assignment, omg
email me and I will cover you in happy thanks.
Shut Up!

So it hit me today that I could probably convey these updates more clearly to ya'll WITH PICTURES. (Why did I not think of this months ago I swear I have dust where my neurons should be.) So here is a picture!

This is also a good time to announce that my editor (who is an
angel, a literal angel from heaven to listen to 15+ hours of this over her December holidays) has finished the proofing for SB5, which is a
major milestone for this project. Like, I am so happy that I'm pretty much on the verge of bawling happy tears all over my keyboard.
If you just said to yourself,
"Self, I would like to help Ana with this... but how?", then today is your lucky day because we are still very much in need of transcribers and proofers. So
drop me an email and I will hook you up with work to do and I will also send you copious amounts of thankyouverymuchIcannotthankyouenough love. Because it's true. :)
Also, I realize that looking at that image, it doesn't look like a lot, but believe me it is HUGE. We are so far along, it's not even funny. Ya'll are
amazing to have got us this far. Thank you. Thank you.
* Paper Publishing is very much a "stretch" goal and will probably not be feasible, but it definitely won't happen until after literally every other column is green. Maybe we'll do a Kickstarter or something.
