Horoscopes are good actually because they scratch the deeply human itch to indulge in unhinged prejudice against people based on their immutable characteristics while deftly avoiding judgement based on race, color, religion, sex, gender, age, national origin, disability, or genetic information.

Another woman killed by an abortion ban.
NEW:
In 2024, Tierra Walker was sick and getting sicker. She was also pregnant.
She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.
Then she died.

this is what's so ironic about the current struggle around land acknowledgements at Ohio State - those of us trying to roll back the university's new restrictions on land acknowledgements are mostly pretty ambivalent about them! But saying you *can't* do them? That's a big, obvious problem!
my wokest opinion is that land acknowledgements are fine. people knowing a little bit about the land you're on, even if one isn't invested in a land back project, is not particularly worse than the status quo, even if one comes by this info in a way that is somewhat cringe and forced
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
