Oof yeah. I’m so sorry about that.
I was never a Neil Gaiman girlie, not because of any vibes or anything, I was just reading other shit in my youth. But it was VERY clear from that thread that he was a very beloved author who touched a lot of lives. A LOT of people seem heartbroken about that.
Finding out those we look up to are awful incarnate is the worst feeling.
I am so fucking on board with this, lfg!
Maaaaannnn, all these people in here are clowning on her for her shitty music. But “Before He Cheats” was my way to own my “Drunk Basic White Lady” status at Karaoke. Now I can’t even be a stereotype anymore.
Jokes aside, fuck you Carrie Underwood. I was a fan in my youth and grew out of your music, but there was still two or three songs I got good nostalgia vibes from. Not anymore!
Ugh I hate when people I’ve supported turns out to be monsters.
Nah fam. I’m a woman living in Texas and I’ll take fighting for abortion rights and closing the wage gap here in the US over living in Afghanistan any day of the week.
Our situations are not even close, and I think you know that.
That lady wishes she could be known for something like Leroy Jenkins.
Nah, she’s one of those family youtubers with a bunch of children, and they came under fire recently because it was found out that they live in a one bedroom apartment and her and her fiance share the bedroom while her kids slept on mattresses in the kitchen.
Ah, the Resilient Jenkins approach.
Also in Texas, also desperate to leave, but currently still Active Duty. I hope you get somewhere safe, not because I think you should have to, but because this state is a literal fucking hellhole for anyone not straight, white, and Christian.
God speed and safe travels, my friend.
Bruh, if I got out and fulfilled my IRR honorably and whatnot, and then I was recalled years later, I would promptly smoke all the pot in reasonable distance from me the moment I received that recall notice.
Mr. Moreno, I’m 35 (high risk age), my husband and I dont want kids, I have an IUD, and the military (as of rn) will give me convalescent leave if I ever had to go get an abortion.
Its not me I’m worried about.
I’m worried about the high school aged daughters of heavily Conservative parents. I’m worried about the lower socio-economic class people who cannot afford to travel for an abortion, and also cannot afford a child.
You CAN be scared for people without being personally affected. Just saying.
Bro, you asked a “difficult question”, and I gave an IRL answer.
You said “Is there a line drawn for abortion?”
I said “No, nor should there be, this is why.”
I expounded on why there shouldnt be a line. Im not sure what youre failing to grasp here.
You’re telling on yourself rn. You obviously have zero empathy for couples/women in an intensely tragic situation.
There isnt a line at this time, nor should there be, for the reasons that Ive stated.
Its absolutely inhumane to expect a woman to navigate an arbitrary line when they have to make one of the worlds most difficult decisions, just because it makes some other people feel better.
No one is advocating for abortions at 8 months unless the women’s (or fetus’) life is in some kind of danger.
Why on earth would a woman put up with the absolute hell that is pregnancy for 8 months, and then just wake up one day and decide “Meh, nvm, Im not actually all that into it” completely unprompted?
It makes no sense and it doesn’t happen. At 8 months, numerous appointments have happened, a nursery of some kind has been put together, baby showers have been had, names have been picked out, vices of all kinds have been foregone (not just alcohol/smoking, modern women give up stuff like lunchmeats/fish/coffee) etc.
If a woman is getting an abortion at 8 months, something went very fucking wrong, and it’s a tragedy all around, so we shouldn’t add the stress of navigating legislation on top of all that.
Taking a moment to shout out Elevated Access. Its a charity full of private pilots and support staff who started gathering in response after RvW was repealed, in an effort to provide women with free flights from red states to blue states. I donated a hefty amount (for me) after we sold our house.
Now theyve expanded their services to trans people seeking care as well!
Love them, sad that they have to exist, but organizations like them give me hope for the future. It reminds me that no matter how bad things get, people will keep fighting.
You know what? I actually just saw her perform over the summer and she is still Queen status.
Better artist anyhow. You right!
