one of the weirder things about getting older is realizing how cyclical, well, *everything* seems to be, and how you have to keep fighting for good whether good is currently popular or unpopular
![“Feminism, I feel like, has become a dirty word in a lot of circles,” Myers told me. “It’s [considered] cringe and I do feel like we’re in a really, really weird place with it right now, and it’s strange to me as a writer who’s been doing it all along and has watched all of those different phases happen, some progress, and then some blowback, and then some progress, and then some blowback. I feel like I’ve seen that throughout my career, and I very much feel like we’re in a blowback phase right now, but that’s part of why I’m like, we need to keep doing this. We have to keep trying.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mnqfxks3lrdcr7z5p3qstpf2/bafkreihthp5ig7vddt5q7mvcnkn2hcmomq4dtliw3vrztmqngc4yzw4ury@jpeg)

This this this. And if you, the public, cease to care, why should the President?
NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.
