This feels like the correct place to tell you that The Disordered Cosmos was perfection to read. I am only halfway through (someone had a hold on it, so I had to return it to the library), but it has been a joy and a strain (in the good way; my brain is a muscle that is mildly out of shape).

The spouse and I got legally married on April 1st to give you an idea of my feelings on legal marriage. But the BS of it is that it privileges that relationship in a bunch of legal ways, and some of those protections are real good, even if they shouldn't be tied to marriage. It became practical.

This is the joining a group and making plans part. It's frustrating to have people keep saying that our efforts aren't going to work because our efforts have yet to get rolling. No shit not shopping today isn't going to solve all our problems. We know that part.

I mean, this tracks pretty directly from the opinion that it would be better to let children die of preventable diseases than risk them being autistic.

I adore books that give me a good sense of place - doubly so for places I have never been. So, yes, I would love that, whatever it actually looks like.

Having a woefully underfunded education system doesn't magically mean that every human in the area is trash. 🙄
Good, free press is doubly important when things are hard, and some places have more practice with that than others; I'd take notes from them.

I can't possibly fathom it, but I know that things can be true without my understanding them.
Seems like power for power's sake is one of those.

Part of fighting is understanding what you are fighting against. Not that you can't fight back without understanding, but the more understanding you have of something, the more effectively you can fight it. So it seems helpful to have smart analysis in conjunction with action.

if the world's richest man can afford to make a nazi salute but a 31 year old meterologist can't afford to criticize him for doing so, it suggests that the price of speech may in fact be slightly higher than "free"
