@GovKathyHochul please veto S-138, which would enable the laxest MAiD program in the US: No wait period. No psych screening. Incredibly lax oversight.
the American Medical Association has condemned MAiD
the bill is ableist & bad for the vulnerable. And it legalizes su***de.

🚨 BREAKING: We have filed lawsuits in New York and Illinois challenging assisted suicide laws.
People with disabilities deserve equal protection under the law, not a two-tiered system that treats some suicides as tragedies and others as solutions.

Looking forward to discussing the points @AudreyPollnow raises here about preserving homosocial spaces at our panel discussion on the future of women in the workplace compactmag.com/article/the-n…
A happy & egalitarian marriage involves *both people* marrying up — just along different axes.
There are *many axes* but gestation & income are both v salient ones.
Since 100% of ppl who can gestate are women, if we want more egalitarian marriages, men need something too.
1/n
It could be more income (eg a setup where men on average significantly outearn women)
It could also be an unpaid but distinctively masculine contribution, eg hard physical labor
Or it could be some kind of distintivelyl masculine prestige

“Another solution would be to change anti-discrimination law to allow sex-segregated spaces.”

Offering MAiD devalues the lives of the terminally ill. And it pressures them to die.
Ppl usually don't request MAiD for pain. Instead, they want to avoid disability & being a "burden."
But the terminally ill are not a "burden"; their lives are incredibly valuable.
“MAiD is not really about making death better for the dying; instead, it’s about making their death more convenient for everyone else. Or, to put it more charitably, MAiD is about sparing the dying from needing to inconvenience anyone.” @AudreyPollnow

“Gov. Hochul, please tell terminally ill New Yorkers the truth: Their lives are incredibly valuable. And to do this, you’ll need to veto MAiD in New York.” @AudreyPollnow

From the ashes of the Girl Boss era has arisen the notorious tradwife, with her sourdough starter, homemade soaps, and chapel veil. Alas, the allure of careerism turned out not to keep you warm at night, and the promises of neoliberal individualism didn’t really provide satisfy in the end (who would’ve thought!?). Yet for most sensible-women, the reactionary, LARP-y antics of performative tradwifery are low-key cringe and hard to take seriously. Besides, where can you find a man these days to provide for you and your 6 children on his income alone? Where can one even find a good man these days—one who isn’t a total soyboy or a creepy manosphere-pilled edgelord? It be tough out here for the ladies these days.
Lucky for you, Cracks in Postmodernity is rallying together a crew of cool, funky, and nuance-pilled females to help you sort out all your questions about womanhood, vocation, and work.

I am available to give the Plato and Phone talk I gave yesterday at Townsend Harris to any NYC high school that is interested, would love to honestly

It is incredibly irresponsible to legalize MAiD in NY without an account of why s***ide is normally wrong
It's not at all clear that S-138's proponents have an account of this
They assume the stigma against s—— will stick, but the reasons they cite for MAiD all support it:
