Fear of becoming a minority is fueled partially by the assumption that it is natural and inevitable that minorities are treated poorly by majorities. This assumption of course grows from the poor treatment of minorities in America, but it is neither natural nor inevitable.

when discussing the propriety of protesting outside of supreme court justices' homes, it's important to remember that in the 90s the court held that protesting outside of the homes of **abortion clinic employees** is protected by the first amendment

Hard truth? Being involved in fandom makes me enjoy being a fan less. Fandom fixates on the least important things & forms hostile factions around the ‘sides’ of the arbitrary criticisms. You’re mad the NAME of the film didn’t exactly describe the plot? This is why we’re mocked

“Ban abortion, ban trans people, ban words, ban kneeling during the national anthem, ban books, ban masks, ban vaccine mandates, ban history, ban science, ban math, ban cartoons… TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN!” What about guns? “Banning guns won’t solve anything.”

Eliminating abortion rights in a country with no federally guaranteed parental leave, shrinking birth control access, no universal health care, no subsidized child care, and a teacher and caregiver shortage. This place goes out of its way to be cruel to women at every turn.

I saw someone say that much of what we see as scary about polio is actually “long polio” & tbh that’s pretty true. I think the “long” framing makes it clear long COVID isn’t unprecedented & that we need to face up to it. What other long infectious diseases are there? A list*

Not to trivialize serious issues. But think about this: From the date of the crime to acquittal, the OJ Simpson trial took 465 days. Date of indictment to conviction, Adidas executives 425 days. Louisville's NCAA case since that day is at 1,584 days. The process is the penalty.
