maybe I never will

started rereading Watchmen for the first time as an adult
it's attracted a huge amount of backlash from both fans and its author, so I want to see how I react to it now that I'm 41

Fuck vote blue no matter who. If all this madness isn't enough to get the Democrats to field a candidate who can support trans rights and be against genocide they're telling me they don't want my vote and I'm happy to oblige.
I'm not voting for a more polite Trump. Full stop.

Adrienne needs help with these bills.
I have a check coming this week, and more later in the month (work is starting to come in finally!), but could really use about USD $600 to get us caught up on first-of-the-month bills and rent if anyone can help. Cashapp is $AdrienneLeigh, Wise is adrienneleight, or PayPal is below:
Pay Utilitarienne using PayPal.Me
Go to paypal.me/utilitarienne and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

anyways I don’t make “jokes at the expense of the expanding population of lonely and adrift men”
I make jokes at the expense of reactionary media grifters who hawk the dubious idea of a “male loneliness crisis” as a Trojan horse for revanchist gender politics. Because I’m in my early 40s.

i cant stop thinking about how insanely decadent it was for elite opinion in the US to hold that reducing the power of the state would result in greater human freedom rather than an explosion of private tyranny — a premise that was basically bipartisan & uncontested for the first 20+ yrs of my life

Having worked in prevention my entire career—cancer, then vaccines, and then COVID19, I can say that while many people understand that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, for others, if it doesn’t happen immediately they aren’t able to follow cause and effect.

Vaccination coverage doesn’t collapse overnight.
Yes, we are definitely already seeing outbreaks, and yes we are already seeing substantial declines in vaccine coverage.
But the true horror awaits a few years from now, barring another pandemic of a novel pathogen.

One of the most disturbing things about the U.S. government getting themselves into the anti-vaccine game is that it is a time-release poison pill.
It will take a few years before the worst of the harm is visible to enough people that they will truly understand what has been done to them.
