Reposted by Eric BorerMarco Rogers @polotek.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Worth saying explicitly. When we're talking about the US, we've never been a right society. America's entire foundation is built on a hierarchy of rights and freedoms. This is the America that has always been. And that's different from treating this like a new problem. bsky.app/profile/behi... 0204

Reposted by Eric BorerJess Calarco @jessicacalarco.com · 08/10/2026It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care. 36151071271

Before GPS, you would memorize routes (as well as an ability to improvise when needed), which allowed you to drive intuitively most of the time. Driving was sort of fun and definitely easier as a result. 1513015
