On today’s strict 20 min phone call with my Baba, he lamented public execution and our hopelessly corrupt government. I’d like more of this and fewer of his outbursts about his current moral panic

I understand how genetics work and yet I am shocked beyond words each time a childhood friend births a child who looks exactly like one of their own siblings. HOW did you clone your brother??

When families of color neglect their children to death, it’s called homicide by child abuse and when Christian nationalists do it, it’s “religious freedom.”

Journalist reports on local issue but leaves out half the information, then posts in our neighborhood group asking for feedback. I comment “I’m really disappointed how you left out how this app is being weaponized against our neighborhood when we post about it constantly here.”
