As a former child abuse prosecutor giving parents the right to make ill informed health decisions is not protecting our children. Parents don't get to make decisions that could lead to the death of their children. That's abuse. Vaccine mandates protect children from dumb parents.

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

Got into Blue Prince, so now I’m attempting to take that hyperfixation and make something creative out of it, by drawing the [figures] and realms mentioned in-game (censored for spoilers). The first is the Pacification of Fenn Aries, featuring Draxus! #BluePrince #blueprince #art #digitalart #fanart

The news from Florida State — where at least one friend is sheltering in place — serves as a reminder that I went most of my lifetime without ever hearing the term “active shooter.” I was happier not knowing it.
A Google Ngram showing the frequency of “active shooter” between 1970 and 2020. The line is flat at zero until around 2000, then rockets upward.

Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?
