This article wins the award for the worst (of MANY) media takes on the Natal conference. No, the left shouldn’t embrace pronatalism because once you have decided people’s reproductive decisions should be the target of policy, human rights abuses inevitably follow. We’ve run the tape on this before.

It will never cease to amaze me that wearing a mask was a deal breaker for many people. It’s a powerful public health tool. It’s one of the most effective ways to avoid mass disablement. It keeps you & your community healthy. It shows you prioritize self care, disability justice & bodily autonomy.

You’ve heard about chlorinated chicken, now here’s the shitty butter. There is a reason why it isn’t surprising that cowshit should find its way into American butter. See that blissful, bucolic Vermont scene on the Cabot pack? That’s… well, it’s bullshit. Dairy in Vermont is BIG business 1/
