An Abortion Story too Good to Confirm

Fuck you, WSJ

I only read the original book, and have never watched the series because itโ€™s not any kind of โ€˜entertainmentโ€™ to meโ€ฆ but Iโ€™m guessing that thereโ€™s a distinctly noticeable lack of diversity and melanin amongst all the slaves handmaids and โ€œwivesโ€ in the show, for the exact same reason?

Right? The whole story is fucking horrendous. Itโ€™s only โ€œgoodโ€ if you are a sociopathic ghoul.

Actually, that might be an insult to the sociopathic ghoul community.

My understanding is that there are more PoC in the series than in the book, because in the book the One Drop rule was applied to have them all designated โ€œChildren of Hamโ€, and they were among the first to be โ€œresettled in the Coloniesโ€. And they were never heard from again.

Atwood didnโ€™t put anything into her book that hadnโ€™t already happened somewhere.

whatโ€™s โ€œweirdโ€ is that anyone would think that things like this donโ€™t happen. that biden or whomever made it up.

while you need extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims. unfortunately child sexual abuse happens enough that itโ€™s not extraordinary at all. :confused:

Fetterman needs to blast this video all over his campaign socials ASAP. Also I didnโ€™t know that Oz has promoted reiki garbage on his show until Charlie brought it up.

Holy fucking shit, but of course they will. Shall we shut down treatment for STIโ€™s next? โ€œTreatment for these immoral diseases prevents just punishment for acts which violate out delicate sensibilities!โ€

Regarding the plaintiffs, the suit claims โ€œneither they nor any of their family members are engaged in behavior that transmits HIV.โ€

So none of them engage in reproductive sex? I find that difficult to believe. I find it much easier to believe that this asshole is just an asshole talking out his asshole.

I have gay friends who either have already moved out of Texas or are in the process of doing so.

I am not hopeful about which way the political winds are blowing here.

The massive influx of Freedom-Lovinโ€™ Left-Hatinโ€™ Trump voters (from California primarily but not exclusively) over the past decade has really moved the what-is-achievable political needle way way waaaaaaaaay to the right of center.

You can usually spot them in the wild by their love of performative cruelty, American flags flying on flag poles on their property (sheesh what other country has people who fly their national flag in their yards?), and warning coloration (threatening t-shirts, caps, bumperstickers, and of course the punisher or three percenter decals on their oversized, shiny, gas-hog cars and trucks).

I really wish I were kidding about all of this, but where I live, this is exactly what I have in my field notes. They are all around me until I get into the Austin urban core.

Hmm.

If fornication is โ€œimmoralโ€ then we better look at these to see if this stuff should next be off-limits:

  • cosmetic surgery
  • treatment for cirrhosis of the liver
  • bariatric surgery
  • erectile dysfunction treatment for unmarried men
  • etc.

This line of argument is a barrel with no bottom. None.

They exist in other places. Itโ€™s usually protective coloration to warn everyone else away.

In Australia, thereโ€™s also the Eureka flag when youโ€™re not a unionist (and too often also if you are), and in England thereโ€™s the flag of St George.
