Never give up on your dreams. Not because giving up is hard, but because you’ll learn how easy it is, how few ramifications there will be, how little other people cared about your dream in the first place, how addictive quitting will be now that you know it’s always an option.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

Every subreddit about a consumer product inevitably attracts “Just took the plunge!” posts from people who want to show us they just bought the product in question. It’s such a modern (and to me, alien) impulse. Imagine your grandfather in 1963 posting “My new toy” in the riding lawnmowers sub.

Photo of a medium haired, white and light ginger kitten lying on top of a toilet lid. The toilet lid is covered in a very light teal carpeted cover. There is a somewhat matching mat on the floor. There is also pink toilet paper hanging in the background.

this is not even a bit new, access to bathrooms especially has been a plank of every marginalized group’s fight for & civil liberties in the past 100+ years and if you’re a person falling for/a candidate messaging on “not in our spaces” right now, we know who you would’ve been in those fights, too.

The history of bathroom segregation and politicization can be traced back centuries. Along with the right to vote, the suffrage movement fought for women (well, cis women) to have access to their own public toilets. Bathrooms were also a core feature of Jim Crow bigotry, with facilities divided between men, women, and "colored" people. Here Black men and women were denied gender-specific facilities, simultaneously conflated and ungendered. While the comparison between cis-only bathrooms and whites-only bathrooms doesn't fully cohere, the struggles are certainly interconnected; there's a clear racialization to how sex is constructed in the public eye, as C. Riley Snorton has chronicled in Black on Both Sides, a history that dives into the degendering of Black women. Meanwhile, Black civil rights groups like the NAACP have fought in support of trans rights over the years.
During the 1970s, opponents of the Equal Rights Amendment used fears that it would mandate unisex toilets to aid their successful campaign to tank the law. Bathroom issues continued during the '80s and '90s during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, when some wanted gay men to be banned from public facilities. Queers, like trans people, weren't considered family-friendly. They were seen as potential groomers or vectors of disease.
There were gains interspersed within these cycles of backlash. The Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 and the Disabilities Act of 1990 mandated that bathrooms be made accessible towards people with disabilities. And by 2016, there seemed to be enough of a consensus around bathroom access that standing up for trans people's right to pee was a mainstream position.
So how did we get to where we are now? Wedge issues, of course.
