  • In this case, when she had ample time to abort the pregnancy before it became viable, and didn’t choose to do so until in inconvenienced her fashion, my reasoning is that the baby (and yes, this was a baby) did not deserve to die for vanity’s sake. She should’ve given birth and put the baby up for adoption if she didn’t want it. There’s a reason third trimester pregnancies were illegal even before Roe was overturned. In the third trimester you’re no longer dealing with an amorphous clump of cells, which anti-women fanatics ridiculously argue should overrule a woman’s bodily autonomy. You’re dealing with a person.



  • The issue isn’t the number of seasons, it’s the abrupt cancellation of unresolved stories. 3 seasons is plenty. 2 seasons is fine. Hell, Chernobyl is one of the greatest pieces of media ever produced and that’s a mini-series. Just commit to giving the creators a chance to resolve their story. If that means a truncated final season, so be it. It builds consumer trust, and it increases the value of the back catalog. When I subscribe to a streaming service, a show that was cancelled on a cliffhanger offers me literally zero value. I’m not interested in starting a show that I know will never provide a satisfying conclusion.



  • In regards to Facebook, and why you should never trust it, no. But given the headline, which is intentionally vague and seems constructed to imply this was related to the Supreme Court’s reprehensible ruling on Roe, it adds much needed context, such as the fact that this would have been illegal even before Roe was overturned, and the heinous and sociopathic comments she made. As a rule, I support a childbearing person’s bodily autonomy, but in this case? When the fetus was almost certainly viable and her reasoning for the abortion was because she wanted to wear jeans again? Fuck that.
