Being forced to carry a pregnancy to term is wrong, even if you provide afterwards for the child to be adopted, or give the mother support to or anything after the birth, because being forced to carry a pregnancy to term is wrong in the first place.
Forced birth is involuntary servitude. I’ve been asked many times why I think Republicans want to control people’s bodies or why they won’t support basic needs like healthcare or livable wages. It’s because this is their desired outcome. More poverty is a bonus for them.

I’m not sure I’ve mentioned it, but one of my favorite “hidden” Mastodon features in the user interface is simply typing the character “?”. It opens up a list of keyboard shortcuts that make a lot of the features I always wish I’d had available. #FediTips
@f00fc7c8 @f00fc7c8 this is a great history. Can I include a quote from it and link to it in "Mastodon: a partial history"? Some of the feedback I got on the draft was that I should include more discussions of the broader fediverse.
Here's the current draft, I'm in the midst of reworking the 2016 discussions to have more context on the fediverse.
emacs, lisp, guix, guile, scheme excitement thread
Hey! Are you excited about any of #scheme, #guile, #racket, #lisp, #emacs, #guix: express that excitement here! And how did you get excited and into it? Let's have a little fediverse party!
And if you aren't into any of these things YET I will make three suggestions (because you will be!):

Those new to #mastodon, make sure you follow Cory Doctorow @pluralistic for his blogs. This one was a doozy - if you thought #Ticketmaster was bad during the scramble for #TaylorSwift tickets, wait until you hear how Booz Allen profits off US #NationalParks!

In my persuasion class, my students had to sell something intrinsically worthless on eBay, relying only on their product descriptions & not being banned. They sold imaginary friends, an open bandaid, a bag of air, a haunted breath mint, etc. Class record was like $150
Here's the reference on Henry VIII from my upcoming book, The Gutenberg Parenthesis:
'Venice was host not only to Greek and Latin publishing but also to the first Hebrew Talmud, including a copy printed by Dutch immigrant Daniel Bomberg and commissioned by Henry VIII “to assist him in evaluating whether he should convert to Judaism to obtain a divorce.”'
