Well would you look at that. I guess #MedicareForAll isn’t such a “pony” or “pie in the sky” after all. It’s actually a very popular idea that most Americans support

ObamaCare was step 1 and Medicare For All is step 2

Republicans and many neoliberal centrists are still resisting progress. Please call your congressperson and tell them to support Medicare For All

Healthcare Is A Human Right

I think people often underestimate the potential educational value of senseless memes. For example, thanks to Spiders Georg, literally every teenager on Tumblr has a reasonable grasp of what a statistical outlier is and the sorts of problems that outliers can introduce into a naïve analysis. There are grown adults who don’t get that - I deal with them on a daily basis.

“Memes have educational value” actually statistical error. Average meme teaches 0 facts. Spiders Georg is an outlier adn should not be counted

“”Fighting autism”” is literally fighting the existence of autistic people. When you say that you’re fighting autism and won’t let it take your kid, what you’re really saying is they you’re fighting your kid’s very existence and wish you had any other kid but them. 

It’s not love, it’s not perserverence, its abuse and hatred of your own child.

Why stuntwomen are in more danger than men

theguardian.com
Performing life-threatening stunts is scary enough – but to swordfight or crash into cars wearing skimpy costumes rather than padding requires a special kind of courage

They perform mind-blowing stunts dressed in clothes as flimsy as paper doilies and are forced to meet Hollywood’s demands for ever-shrinking waistlines without losing the muscles they depend on for work. Meet cinema’s small but dedicated community of stuntwomen: because of the skimpy clothes they have to wear, they put themselves in more danger than their male colleagues.

But it’s all part of their day job. Tammie Baird is Hollywood’s go-to stuntwoman for car hits. She’s appeared in Fast & Furious, Chris Brown’s Next 2 You music video, and NCIS: LA. She’s been smashed into windshields, bounced off bonnets and slammed into the tarmac – more often than not wearing a tight dress and heels. When Baird got her first role, in Mr & Mrs Smith, she went shopping for stunt gear “like a guy”. “I bought the biggest, bulkiest pads, and thought, ‘Yeah, I’m protected, nothing’s gonna get me.’ Then I saw my wardrobe – I was wearing a miniskirt.”

Friendly reminder that stuff like unrealistic female armor actually tangibly hurts women
