they're still arguing about surrogacy on twitter

[ganondorf]

the reason surrogacy warrants particular scrutiny, aside the fact that its roots are literally chattel slavery lol, is that it is a contractual arrangement premised on the basically total surrender of bodily autonomy. it transforms a human body into a site of continuous, high risk labor with consequences that cannot be paused or meaningfully mitigated

can a surrogate safely "quit" in any real sense? can they safely get an abortion? can they quit after 4 months? can they quit after 9 months? do they get to clock out after 40 hours a week? do they get breaks? do they get a union?

in what world is it a leftist position to defend 24/7 labor

[ganondorf]

mmm you reminded me of this woman who was a surrogate for twins whose commissioning "parents" just.....never picked them up and now she has to raise them and as the linked article mentions, she is far from an isolated case

In times of great stress, panic, and unfolding news stories, you really don’t have to post. You’re not an embassy. You don’t have to make a statement. The world won’t stop because you decided to read a book this afternoon instead, and current events won’t stop being bad if you just post hard enough. Posting has never been activism. Consider saving posts to your drafts and then returning to them at the end of the day to see if you still want to post them. Consider that those who came before us also went through hard times, but they weren’t mentally tortured by a device in their pocket that blasts bad news into people’s eyeballs for several hours per day. Sometimes you need to ask yourself what you’re really doing besides exacerbating your own misery. You’re already informed, and if something else big happens, you’ll surely see it without having to be glued to your phone.

Oh, and you absolutely do not need to fuck yourself up by viewing real gore and murder, and you should not trust anyone who says otherwise. You can be against a murder without seeing it. You’re not sinful for wanting to spare yourself the mindfuck of seeing real death, because you’re not virtuous for making yourself suffer by seeing it. Again, fucking yourself up helps no one and nothing, and don’t let people guilt you into Catholic martyrdom by convincing you suffering is righteous

The climb to Abano Pass, in Georgia is regarded as one of the most dangerous on Earth. Every autumn, a spectacular animal migration takes place in Georgia’s Tusheti region in the northern Caucasus Mountains. Radio Free Europe photographer Amos Chapple recently joined a group of shepherds and their dogs on what he refers to as a “deadly, boozy journey” from the steep mountains to the plains, as they brought their 1,200 sheep down to their winter pastures.

Some people's Home Alone hot takes are that Kevin is apparently evil for doing what most kids that age would do if they could in that situation

My Home Alone hot take is that if you walk into three consecutive death traps and still don't take the first chance to back out, you deserve everything that happens to you afterwards. Not in a moral sense, just in a "knowingly and willingly slapping a hot stove after you already got burned multiple times" sense
