at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

We know that Facebook is brainscorching your parents and tiktok is brainscorching your cousins, but some of you refuse to admit that you got your brain scorched here. However unlike those sites there isn't an algorithm here you just make bad choices.

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.

I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

Samuel l. Jackson @ Supreme Court justices rn:

Roe being overturned is really not a good time to be like “well we voted in Democrats and they didn’t fix it!!1!!”

First of all, there are not nearly enough progressive Democrats in the Senate to reasonably expect legislation like this to pass without overturning the filibuster, and not enough candidates who favored overturning the filibuster made it into the Senate. We barely have a majority at all, nothing close to the 2/3 we would need without ending the filibuster. So there’s that.

Second, it’s a bad time to make this argument because voting literally absolutely could have prevented this outcome. 100%, without a doubt, if the 2016 election had ended differently, we would not be here today.

Third, there’s no reason you can’t protest and organize and volunteer and donate AND vote. Even if you’re not convinced, it can’t hurt. Even if your candidate doesn’t win (!), minds are changed every time a progressive campaign gains traction. Even if you can only chip away at a Republican majority in a red state, over time it makes a difference. (Please see: The state of Georgia.)

Finally, there’s no reason to reasonably expect anything to change if you don’t vote for pro-choice progressive candidates at every level of government. Staying home is the one way to guarantee Republicans win and nothing changes.

TLDR; do all the other stuff. But also vote.

"You chose to have a kid"

A key point in framing is that almost every anti-choice idiot says, is that they always frame it as "the choice to have a kid". Specifically, in this case:

"You chose to have sex, so you have to deal with the kid"

Let's just...side-step the puritanical root of punishing people for having sex, and the actual, sincere belief that humans Not Having Sex is something we can actually achieve, which is stupid.

People explicitly make choices to not have kids when they have sex, too.

There are whole swaths of things that men and women do, hopefully overlapping, to not have kids.

None of them are 100% effective. Even Female and Male sterilization aren't 100% effective, other than a full blown hysterectomy.

Literally, a man and a woman can both go to a doctor, have actual surgeries performed so they don't have kids, have sex with one another, and still wind up pregnant. Especially if it's in the first few years after their surgeries are performed. Surgeries which have weeks to months of recovery time, planning, and costing thousands of dollars each.

I choose to go to work every day; punishing me for getting hit by a cab as a "potential outcome" of going to work is fucking ludicrous. People smoking are more likely to get a cancer, but we still treat them in hospitals. Getting AIDS from donating blood is a thing that can happen, but you're damn well going to sue the hospital or agency that gave you AIDS. I can play the lottery every day and eventually win a million dollars, but it's still "the stupid tax" and actually thinking it will happen is the literal Gold Standard for "not gonna happen".

Nowhere else in society do we accept bullshit like that except when we're talking about controlling women and their sex lives for doing things you don't want them to. And it's always, always from the same people who want the woman to deliver the baby (which itself has a high risk of just killing the mom outright, especially in the US) who don't want to feed the baby when it's delivered, who don't want to give it a home or clothes or healthcare.

Again, that's before we even get to:
