“Enforce childbirth if you wish but at least call that enforcing by what it is. It is slavery: the claim to own and control another’s body, and to profit by that claim.” —Margaret Atwood
@MHowellTweets By the same logic it might be argued that we should condemn anyone who shares a piece of sexual identity with someone who commits a crime. The majority of people identify as heterosexual…that includes criminals… how did you graduate?
@CMCRET Great that she did this, disappointing this is just a basic expectation of anyone not born rich. I can’t imagine how tired she is. Or how much more she’d have been able to do with more privilege.
A high school debate club could have written a better decision than the Supreme Court majority did in SFFA v. Harvard. Asserting the court cannot assess the impact of affirmative action should have been rationale to decline to hear the case.
Pregnant people, you have the right to lead your own birth process and to have supportive providers. @ACNMmidwives can help you find find them. Long live midwifery! Happy to chat to anyone curious about birthing with midwives.
@MorganJerkins Having something shoved into your body to trigger a process over which you have little control just sucks, physical pain notwithstanding.
Tap tap. Is this still on?
First post in a while; usually the headline overstates things but here it’s a little understated. Because it’s not gonna be just Texas, folks.

@LucianSheets@SeanEBerry@davedogge@strangertemple There are plenty of social media platforms where that kind of environment is supported, but those with the biggest audiences invest in making them places "the public" wants to be. Shouting has limited growth potential and moderation makes $$. Parties aside, that's politics.
@SeanEBerry@LucianSheets@davedogge@strangertemple The fun part is that content moderation is the only thing that makes social platforms profitable, so we'll all be laughing Twitter into its grave.
@LucianSheets@SeanEBerry@davedogge@strangertemple Politics: "the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area, especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power." Describes a workplace.
@Devendr57832648@killthemessage@strangertemple IDK from which universe you're getting your info, but some of the world's largest and richest companies paused their ads on Twitter when Musk took over. Twitter has a tiny user base vs. YouTube and TikTok, both moderated platforms. Actually no one wants ad revenue from trolls.
