40,000 years ago, early humans painted hands on the wall of a cave. This morning, my baby cousin began finger painting. All of recorded history happened between these two paintings of human hands. The Nazca Lines and the Mona Lisa. The first TransAtlantic flight and the first voyage to the Moon. Humanity invented the wheel, the telescope, and the nuclear bomb. We eradicated wild poliovirus types 2 and 3. We discovered radio waves, dinosaurs, and the laws of thermodynamics. Freedom Riders crossed the South. Hippies burned their draft cards. Countless genocides, scientific advancements, migrations, and rebellions. More than a hundred billion humans lived and died between these two paintings—one on a sheet of paper, and one on the inside of a cave. At the dawn of time, ancient humans stretched out their hands. And this morning, a child reached back.

There’s one guy in Columbus Ohio that has a completely unique strain of Covid that we only know about because of how much he is shitting and it is baffling researchers.

His identity is a mystery but they know where commutes to because his shits turn up there too.

Despite every moment of life being indescribably precious and a wondrous mystery, I will spend it caring about dividends and how many rental properties I have.

This is a delicate topic for sure but a bundle of cells growing in someone’s womb is not a human yet in my opinion. It has the potential to be a human but it isn’t yet. in an ideal world only people who want to have children are getting pregnant. But we don’t live in a perfect world, and bodily autonomy is so so important, even if it’s got outcomes we aren’t always happy with.

I was pro life for a little bit, but then I heard about a mother dying because something went wrong with her pregnancy (she wanted more children) and was bleeding out. However, the hospital refused her care twice and she bleed to death. What I was told about what pro life was supposed to be and how it was actually being used is completely differently. We were not protecting babies but instead hurting mothers. Taking away their rights and protections for the sake of perfect unrealistic ideals. That’s just one story and their are many others and all together it does not paint a pretty picture.

I would also like to add that I realized a very important piece of why Christians specifically are so gung-ho about pro life. It’s because they believe in the second coming of Christ and they are genuinely afraid that allowing abortions could lead to his death before he’s even been born. I don’t want to bash on anyone’s religion, but I’ve given this a lot of thought and decided that I disagree with this point of view.

I believe everyone has the same capacity for harm and healing. it’s both how your raised and what you observe and learn as a kid and what you choose to do with what you learn and experience. I believe that Jesus was just some guy who wanted to have a net positive good in the world. And just so happened to become the most famous historical figure of all time, but only long after he had died. I believe there are tons of people like Jesus we just don’t talked about them because we don’t know who they are. Jesus is a celebrity but being more famous does not mean you are inherently better or worse than other people.

For me this isn't even about empathy or sympathy (though there's value in those as well), it is just straight-up a human rights thing. Once you have decided that there is *any* category of human that can be treated as less-than-human you've said that humanity is conditional, and so are the rights that come with it. You've already lost, you've granted the fascists their point because *you agree with them* that some people don't deserve to be treated like humans.
