There's everyone I've ever known
"Pale Blue Dot", Carl Sagan || "John and the Earth", Matt Dahan || "17776", Jon Bois || "This Space Artist Changed the Way We See the Universe", Corinne Purtill || "Earthrise", William Anders
i think the title implies a new revolution in America like how the first one started in 1776 and also the story is very much this is the good and bad of america, but specifically he focuses on how people in this america are nice if given the chance. I can't think of anybody in the story that's openly malicious. there's so much to think about this story man i love jon bois.
17776 is probably meant to be a commentary on americanism right
Tapping the sign.
they have taken up the majority of my brain this past week, please enjoy the doodles and whatnot
Maybe this will be comforting for people wondering about fighting back and project 2025. as a lawyer I’ll say that legal organizations have been going to court for trans rights for several years in both blue and red states. fighting for access to gender affirming care for minors and for the incarcerated, pushing insurance companies to cover certain surgeries, helping with name change petitions and gender markers, etc. we do this every single day, we’re used to dealing with people that are super obstructionist and I would say we’re pretty good at it
I genuinely, deeply thank you, and I want you to know that the efforts of people like you have not gone unseen.
My mentality right now is "it'll be okay, but it'll be grueling" and this is exactly why. Idk if I've posted it here specifically, but I do know that the fights work. They have to be fought, but they do work, and we do best them back.
Sometimes I wish we didn't have to.
Thank you for the reminder, and thank you for everything else <3
re: that last post, ive said it before and ill say it again: no one deserves to die (deserving is fake and death is bad) but some people need to be stopped and choose to make death the only way to stop them
