#it's enraging

[patience-knowledge-focus]

My new favorite syscourse stance: let's label ourselves as one thing, then post content that proves we actually have the exact opposite opinion, and when anyone complains, fall back on the label.

That's hilarious.

You're not "pro" anything when your entire argument is that the thing might exist, but all information about it is "misinformation" or "harmful simply for existing." Fucking over endogenic systems while believing they exist isn't pro-fucking-anything.

There's a word for that: it's "hypocrisy".

(And watch someone complain that I'm misusing the word "hypocrisy.")

I would extend the kindness that opinions change, that we can only live within the confines of our knowledge, and new information is hard to gather in an echo chamber.

I wonder what her name will be...the first girl or young woman in The USA to die in 2022 from hemorrhage or sepsis during a prolonged spontaneous abortion, aka a "miscarriage." They'll be a law named after her soon afterwards - it will ultimately reverse what 5-6 robed zealots declare soon (and I'm going with 5; I think Roberts has more foresight than his brethren.) Will it be Zoey, Emma or Olivia's Law? How many of them will die in the next year? 

In Ireland, her name was Savita Halappanavar, the 31 [year old] dentist who died of sepsis in 2012 after 5 days in hospital due to a prolonged partial miscarriage @17 weeks gestation; the problem? The non-viable fetus retained a heartbeat for 3 more days & the law didn't allow for abortion if a heartbeat still existed, no matter how weak or futile that heartbeat was. By the time the fetal heartbeat stopped, Savita was ineligible for abortion, for she was dying from septic shock. Her death was termed a "medical misadventure." The Irish people were incensed & decided Savita would be the LAST woman to die because of a miscarriage of justice. Laws were changed afterwards. 

It will happen here too, soon...real soon.

What's annoying me the most about this 'H didn't finish school that's why he can't form a coherent sentence and sounds dumb' is that I work in special education and a lot of these children will never have a '''normal''' graduation/certificate but that doesn't make them fucking dumb or whatever. I get that for a lot of people it's just a funny joke but honestly I beg people to think about what they are saying. This is why special education (or leaving the education system without graduating in general) has such a bad rep bc things like this help uphold these stereotypes. I really thought we left the adorably slow thing in 2012...

yep 10000%
