Quickies: Gaming culture, funeral services for abortions, and structural racism
- Three actionable ways to make gaming culture safer – “Whether you’re a game designer, artist or publisher; a store owner or event organizer; or individual gamer, you have the power to shape the culture and community in which you’re involved.”
- Texas will now require funeral services whenever a woman has an abortion – “Even when “the embryo is so small as to be invisible,” as David Brown, a staff attorney for the Center for Reproductive Rights, explained over the phone, the doctor or health care provider will still have to treat it like a dead person, and hold some kind of burial or cremation for it.”
- Structural racism and supporting Black lives – The role of health professionals – From Ray.
- Why are “liberal” white men asking us to stop fighting for our rights? – “But just because the men we’re hearing from can’t seem to figure out how we can advance equality in this nation and win elections, doesn’t mean there isn’t a way. It just means the wrong people are being turned to for the answers.”
I’m not sure why other liberal white men view a modestly unpopular candidate barely losing a presidential election while still being millions of votes ahead in the popular vote is in any way, shape, or form a decent reason to throw away one of the most essential elements of the liberal coalition in this country.
Like aside from the amorality of considering minority rights disposable, from a pragmatic position, the democratic party lives and dies on being a diverse coalition party. Throwing that away to appeal to the same racists who are pretty much ideologically locked in and consistently vote republican seems like the dumbest idea in the world.
Well, most of the people mentioned are Third Wayers. They backed Clinton, and they’re more afraid of someone saying the minimum wage should be higher than they are of, well, Donald Trump.
We really need to ditch the white country club class. You know, the Clintons.
The whole idea there was one reason we lost that everyone else now needs to address seems kind of inane. It’s so faux intellectual but generally completely fails to speak to the actual data and more to the author’s biases.
