Reposted by JaiCourtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 01/10/2026I do not think we should have a death penalty. I don't think it is any kind of deterrent. I think it's barbaric. I think it makes us all worse people. All of us. And we just don't have to do this to ourselves. We could abolish it, and we should. 101401244

As someone who's done anti-abuse and code of conduct work before: you don't want your rules to be too specific, because there are people who make tap-dancing on the line their whole personality.
