This Doonesbury abortion cartoon was originally written by Gary Trudeau in 2012, in response to a Texas law requiring women to have an ultrasound before an abortion. It was banned from many major newspapers, and they ran syndicated cartoons in its place.

Now seems like an appropriate time to bring these cartoons back, with the passing of Texas’ new law requiring the burial or cremation of miscarried or aborted fetal remains. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if Trudeau decides to write the sequel.

God. You’ll have to excuse me openly weeping atm. I remember being horrified when that law hit the books here.

I had no idea how much worse it would get in 10 year’s time.

“The daily routine of most adults is so heavy and artificial that we are closed off to much of the world. We have to do this in order to get our work done. I think one purpose of art is to get us out of those routines. When we hear music or poetry or stories, the world opens up again. We’re drawn in — or out — and the windows of our perception are cleansed, as William Blake said. The same thing can happen when we’re around young children or adults who have unlearned those habits of shutting the world out.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin

It wasn’t that they didn’t take an interest in the world around them. On the contrary, they had a deep, personal and passionate involvement in it, but instead of asking, ‘Why are we here?’ they asked, ‘Is it going to rain before the harvest?’ A philosopher might have deplored this lack of mental ambition, but only if he was really certain about where his next meal was coming from.

-- Terry Pratchett - Carpe Jugulum

I keep remembering a run of Hamlet I saw a few years ago, where the Ghost was costumed in full plate armour which was very noisy, and instead of muffling it, they had him crash across the stage, stomping so the whole set rattled, and he said all of his lines in a bellow, like he was furious with Hamlet.

And the thing that made it absolutely terrifying was that Hamlet was the only one who reacted. He was cowering, and covering his ears with both hands, and yelling to be heard over the noise.

And no one else seemed to know why he was doing that. The other actors didn't even raise their voices.

That's scary, something so loud and painful, and REAL, and the people around you don't even notice it, and think that you're the crazy one.

I love when I hear about a choice in Shakespeare I've never thought of before. Brilliant

[countesspetofi]

If I ever get to direct Hamlet I am totally stealing that.

"God never gives you more than you can handle" is survivorship bias. People who got more than they could handle are dead.

one other thing that is important to the dynamics of much ado btw is that hero is 1) leonato’s only heir and 2) a woman. that is SUPER important because it makes the wedding scene not just catastrophic for hero who now in the eyes of everyone is ruined and unmarriageable but ALSO for leonato whose only heir is ruined and this heir crucially is a woman. he wants a man in the picture of his family’s fortune. that’s just a lot more stable. best next thing to having a son. and now he’s not only not going to have Claudio who he likes a lot and trusts (friend of Don pedro’s) but now all his money is going to hero who will NEVER marry because she can’t after what claudio says publicly about her. claudio isn’t just ruining hero but also her father and he does know that. her being leonato’s only heir comes up quite a few times (bc it’s important!). this also is why leonato is so distraught like yes socially this is mortifying but also it’s ruinous economically for their family and it’s all hero’s fault (or so he is led to believe)
