Scrolling through that website is just "Hmm, I think I see a pattern here" every time it comes up. Also I rediscovered the term "disgorgement" so that's also a win.

I feel like this will be shared uncritically by people who sincerely oppose women having "unsupervised female health decisions" et al.

It's nice to read a well-intentioned response on here.

Divisive language is like a drug: it's fun to use, it's addicting, there's entire subcultures based around it, and once you get used to it it just doesn't affect you anymore, and eventually it becomes very difficult to go without it.

I learned that when you see a piece of reporting that makes your opponents look like The Bad Guy, there is propaganda woven through it. There is a metric fuckton of this kind of reporting: it has become increasingly common over the years. Don't get me wrong, I'm certain that plenty of it is well-deserved. I can only imagine that for every piece of reporting that makes Right Wingers look like cartoon villains, those on the right have come up with something to try to make those that aren't quite-so-right-wing look the same.

Good on you for remembering empathy. I can only hope others follow your lead.

EDIT: just a reminder to others, the "real" enemy is the one jingling the keys, not the ones clamoring to grab them while babbling talking points. Those who seek to pit us against each other must be called out, and/or dragged out.

As usual, George Carlin should be the go-to for matters of language

I see that someone wrote their thesis on it.

I know that feeling. It probably has a proper name. I call it Walden
