"It didn’t even occur to us we could go to a doctor because, you know, it wasn’t an emergency (The American healthcare system damages your *thinking,* not just the public health)." www.welcometohellworld.com/the-american...

A Japanese friend was diagnosed with cancer. The best cancer hospital in California told her to go back to Japan for treatment because it would bankrupt her here. Complete treatment was $0, out of pocket, and $250 USD for ‘cosmetic’ breast implants. I believe her insurance even offset her flights. She literally flew to/from the U.S. to Japan for her treatments and surgery, stayed with family (or hospital) while there and spent less than it would cost for one day in a U.S. hospital.
This was over a decade ago, but I was mountain biking in Cape Town South Africa a few years after college and flipped over my handlebars, gashed my chin, got taken to the ER at a private hospital, and needed stitches. I was freaking out about how many thousands of dollars I was going to owe and was charged $125 total. Stitch removal was free. I was absolutely shocked.
I went to Husavík, Iceland for vacation and got a bad upper respiratory infection that settled in my ear, making me dizzy and nauseous. Vomiting, the whole deal. It didn’t even occur to us we could go to a doctor because, you know, it wasn’t an emergency (The American healthcare system damages your *thinking,* not just the public health). The guy running our guesthouse had to tell us we could go to a clinic. So we go. They *apologize* to us(!) because they have to charge us (about $25) to see a doctor. We were in and out in 30 minutes, prescriptions in hand. Total cost for antibiotics and Tylenol with codeine: $20.

This is really cool. Those who go one about how there are only two genders are full of it. We humans are far more varied and interesting than that.

When reactionaries advance some bullshit, the FIRST thing to do is identify the framing and reject it They're selling this as "trans rights vs. women's sports" when they hate both those things and want to ruin them both Accept the frame and you've lost Reject the frame and call bullshit

"It's only then you realize while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun."

Scene from X-Men 3:
Mutant: Nobody's talking about extermination!
Magneto: No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you.

Man fuck this. Big Bend is one of the most beautiful places in the country and it’s so remote it’s not like there are people coming through there anyway. Real Texans should be up in literal arms over this desecration of one of the greatest parts of the great state of Texas.

In case people aren’t familiar with the case, Mary Phagan was killed in a factory in Atlanta in 1915 and the factory owner, Leo Frank who was Jewish was convicted of her murder despite a ton of evidence that he was innocent. He was lynched and this was a major factor in the revival of the Klan.
