doctors performing c sections during births without informed consent
eugenics via sterilization requirements for trans people to change documentation
eugenics via forced/nonconsenting sterilization of disabled people
eugenics via forced/nonconsenting sterilization of people of color
eugenics via selective abortion of disabled fetuses (fetuses with Down syndrome especially) (these are abortions sought by people who WANT to be pregnant–but only with non-disabled children, when there’s absolutely no guarantee that a non-disabled child won’t become disabled)
if your reproductive rights activism doesn’t incorporate ALL OF THE ABOVE, i want no part of it.
I’ve been screaming about this all week! That’s literally Nazi shit. Hitler stripped German citizenship from Jewish, Romani, and black citizens which resulted in genocide, segregation, experimentation, sterilization, and exile.
This means that we’re almost out of time for human history to contain “that time someone stole the unit of mass, and we had to catch them to get it back for the mass of everything to be well-defined again”.*
For fun theory reasons, we need someone to plan and execute a heist, and soon.
(* Well, okay, on a global scale. I’m sure this has been done for smaller local reference objects through history.)
A television show done in the style of The Office or Parks and Recreation, except it takes place backstage in a touring company of a failing Broadway musical.
We never find out what the musical is ever about. We just get shown bits and pieces of dialogue, songs, and choreography throughout the episodes. But every new piece of the musical that’s revealed only adds to the mystery… it’s just a confusing hodgepodge of genres and seemingly unrelated side plots and characters.
And AND a bewildering number of Broadway greats are in the show but we only see them or hear them in passing or in the background. Just enough to make us go “Hey, was that…?” and we never see the same person more than once.
There has to be a running gag of someone ALMOST saying the name of the production, but being interrupted by Steve The Sound Guy for increasingly ridiculous reasons. Near the end of the first season, the reason is that Hugh Jackman is on fire. “Yeah, he’s a really great dancer, isn’t he?” “No, I mean he is literally on fire. He leaned on one of the candles, and no one can find the fire extinguisher”
