Also my 5yo: if we don't have teeth we can't have candy, it'll have to be soup candy

My junior high friends and I sang this song to each other in gym class, and all the time we could. We were obsessed. This video is one of the foundations of the modern internet.

Without mail in voting, people like me wouldn’t get a voice.

Which is more than likely the point.

Mail in voting is an accessibility issue and preventing it is absolutely infringing on disabled rights.

That's awful.

Reminds me of the fact that I chose where, how, and when to be born. That I got to choose which body I would be born into and exactly everything that would happen to it. Like, I really wanted to have Type 1 Diabetes because it builds character. Ya know?

Everyone deserves healthcare.
Everyone deserves to not go hungry.
Everyone deserves a decent roof over their heads.
Everyone deserves dignity.
Everyone deserves respect.

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple:

there is enough.

there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe.

once you accept that there's only one question:

why don't we?
