“Abolish Golf”
Sticker spotted in Chicago, Illinois.
A typical golf course uses 200 million gallons of water a year. There are over 16,300 golf courses in the United States.
That's nuts.
Ngl I hate golf and I'm all for this. They put a golf course in our public park at the expense of hundreds of centuries-old live oak trees. Half of the walk around the park you're just looking at an empty golf course. Like 2 people want to play golf. So annoying.
Golf was a game developed in Scotland, where it rains up to 250 days of the year, and where the courses use very hard-wearing grass. The sand in the bunkers is because it used to be played on the coast - these traditional courses are called "Links" courses. The top Links course in Scotland, Royal Dornoch, uses no mains water at all. They have their own rainwater collection system.
It wasn't originally intended to be played in the middle of a desert on lush green turf that takes thousands of gallons of water a day to maintain. Unless you can keep the course alive using only rainwater collection, it shouldn't exist.
I just wanted to bring this back with some pictures of Democratic Governors signing bills to expand access to free meals at school
one party wants to feed kids, one party wants to starve them, you pick which one you're on.
They claim that being Queer is harmful to kids and these fascist punks think that starving children is a good thing??? The fuck bro?
The way the US Constitution is written the Dems need a decent majority in the House, at least 60 Senators, and the Presidency to get anything you are wanting done. Mad about it? So am I. Get off your ass and elect more Dems. Quit whining and start doing. NO THEY AREN'T THE SAME> JEEEEEZUS
This right here, this is the key
So frequently the complaint I see about the Dems is "they don't do anything/they don't do enough" but I never see the people who say this really examin why, they just say "it's cuz the Dems don't really care" and ignore the elephants in the room who are blocking/limiting the Dems efforts
As you mentioned, to get some real major progress, the Dems need control of both chambers of congress, more seats in those chambers, and the presidency, Because that's just how it works, one chamber, simple/small majorities and the presidency isn't enough, and to have more seats we need to get out and vote
Don't like that the system is this way? Me neither, but that's how it is, and you won't change it by refusing to vote, and the best way to change it is the same way we get major progress above, you vote, you get the Presidency, 60+ seats in the senate and a house majority of several dozen seats
if i heard that a woman aborted a fetus because prenatal screening had revealed a disability that i shared, i would simply not shame her
RIP to people who think bodily autonomy is conditional but im different
i’ve been getting a lot of comments/questions about this post. some is good, some is bad. i’ve decided not to respond individually and instead say:
- i said what i said. i wasn’t confused about saying it.
- if i found out a woman had aborted a fetus because she found out that fetus had a disability that i have—disabilities that i have firsthand knowledge of being painful, difficult to live with, and often resource-intensive—i would not be angry with her. i would not feel like she doesn’t think people like me should not be alive (unless she actually said so).
- fetuses are not little potential “you”s. projecting your own anxieties onto a woman’s abortion (”i wouldn’t have wanted to be aborted” is common reasoning in plenty of pro-life circles; it’s not better here) is invasive and nonsensical.
- bodily autonomy isn’t conditional. you don’t know a woman’s exact reason for abortion and you don’t need to. women’s rights to abortion need to be protected, even if you feel icky about some potential reasoning behind an abortion, which you aren’t even fully privy to in the first place.
- disabled people should always be in the care of people who have the resources and desire to take care of them. insisting that disabled children be born simply to ease your own moral qualms with abortion is frankly unethical in my opinion, resources are often very slim for disabled people. not to mention our quality of life is often just lower in general. you can argue all you want in the notes about “mild” disabilities but you aren’t the arbiter of what constitutes a mild enough disability to make an abortion terrible and immoral and shame-worthy.
- women aren’t vessels. regardless of how morally pure you feel your crusade is, they simply aren’t.
- speaking as a disabled person, energy is literally always better spent on changing society—by increasing resources for caretakers and disabled people alike, speaking frankly about quality of life, correcting notions about what disabled people’s lives are like, punishing mistreatment of actual disabled people [not potential ones], and putting research into easing the pain/suffering of people as much as possible—than it is on getting mad about women getting abortions. and it isn’t just better spent that way, it’s just immoral to do the latter.
- in conclusion: RIP to people who think bodily autonomy is conditional but im different.
If I believe that everyone should be able to access abortion, at any time, for any reason - and I do! - then that’s also allowing that people may have abortions for reasons I disagree with - and it is none of my fucking business, because it’s not my body.
How would that even work? How could you even enforce that? “Anyone can have an abortion EXCEPT you, because your fetus would be born with a disability”? That’s just nonsensical.
I’m disabled and I’m sick of those anti-bodily autonomy assholes using disabled people as a prop - or those same people using “disabled children” as a euphemism to mean a fetus with fetal abnormalities that are incompatible with life, as a way to prevent people from accessing abortions later in pregnancy.
RIP to people who think bodily autonomy is conditional but I’m different.
No forced pregnancy or forced birth is moral. I don’t care why the force is being applied.
You can advocate for more resources and education so more people are able to care for a disabled child
AND
support complete bodily autonomy and a person’s right to choose in all cases. Even if you personally don’t like it
You can support two things
