Carrie Ghose @carrieghose.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The only reason for the death penalty is vindictiveness. 'Deterrence' repeatedly shown as myth. They say 'justice,' but really that means killing someone in response to your rage and hurt. We created civilization to rise above the worst human characteristics like vindictiveness. 000

If there were, your clothes would be made in the country you live in (where the customers are), or in China (where machines are cheap). They’re made in Bangladesh or India or Indonesia because that’s where the LABOUR is cheap. Your clothes are made by people. 271498365
