with sorrow we dissent
in the "welcome to the handmaid's tale" department, half the us can now kiss reproductive rights goodbye, as the supreme court overturned roe v wade today. it's the first time in the history of the country that scotus repealed a right that most people actually support. and justice roberts was whining just last month about how people don't trust the supreme court, they don't think the supreme court is legitimate, they don't have faith in the supreme court, etc etc. well, roberts, this is your legacy now. you presided over a court that stripped a fifty-year-old right from half the population without care for consequence, and now has contraception, same-sex marriage, and same-sex sex in its sights. this does not cover you in glory.
the justices who overturned roe, and the conservatives who've been gunning for it for decades, might know but do not remotely care that banning abortion won't suddenly mean women will stop wanting to terminate their pregnancies. all it means is more women will die.
dick's sporting goods, which i think stopped selling firearms after the shooting at margery stoneman douglas high school, is committed to helping any of its employees (or their spice or dependents) who need/want an abortion and live in an anti-abortion state. like, with $4000 towards travel costs to get to the nearest state with legal abortion. their stock went up after the announcement.
in the "well this is creepy as shit" department, amazon wants your alexa to be able to talk to you in the voice of your dead loved one. no. just... no.
also apparently jupiter got to be the size it is from eating other planets? what the fuck.
if you need a palate cleanser after all that, these will someday be cucumbers:
and this will someday be dill:
because it's growing season on my back porch. there are also tomatoes but all they've done so far is flower.
