You know there's not a lot of houses with direct ocean views to see the break!!

I'm actually quite glad to hear. That means uncontrolled urbanization is being checked in some way.

I kinda think that dystopia is getting worse.

I think I kinda agree. But that also means, we MUST focus on the good things!

I couldn't agree more!! I was chatting to Akchemage this morning via WhatsApp and he wrote this .

You’re right the whole world is falling apart in a spiral of chaos. It’s hard to not focus on all the negative but you’re right that there is a lot of great things to focus on. The Hand Maidens Tale comparison is quite shockingly on point though.. they’re seriously working on making women and POC less than people by law guided by their fucked up principles. Fuck. But like I said, there’s a lot of people speaking out. The owners of a right wing type of chain store supplying hunting equipment sent out a mass email to all employees stating that they’ll pay out $4k to any employee, spouse, or family members enrolled in their healthcare that needs to travel from a state where abortion is banned to one where they can legally get the procedure done. Shits wild.

How awesome is that!!! That's the good we gotta focus on and recreate in our lives.

Depending on the state, this could already get you in trouble! Which is why, I've seen these kind of memes go viral among people I know:

So yes, people can be awesome! The other thing is, if a trend has been going in one direction for over a century, it won't be stopped let alone reversed by a court decision, even if it's the SCOTUS. In fact, I believe the opposite thing is likely... but we'll see it for ourselves over the next years.

Oh yes I heard about the camping meme. Like the new underground railroad! And this morning I read woman were deleting their period trackers off their phones.

Oh wow! But yeah, I can see how privacy protection becomes a concern. Though even as a non-American male, I generally don't think it's a good idea to give access to body/health related information to anyone. Even for your health care provider it should on a need to know basis.
