1. You Can’t Fix Things by Not Voting (July 19) "So boycotting an election merely shrinks the total pool of voters these politicians are fighting over. Playing hard to get actually makes it easier on the politicians you’re hoping to persuade. It makes it easier because they can all just ignore the voters who are sitting it out and ignore their cause as well, and fight over the ones who remain."
2. Vote for Democracy 2024 (August 4) "But it would be extremely difficult to be even half as great as Donald Trump is terrible."
3. Unicorns and cannonballs, palaces and piers (August 5) Linking this for the part about being a step-parent. "You also get the sense, the very strong hint, that someone telling you 'I love my biological child because half of their DNA is me' is also telling you — and telling those children — 'I love my biological children exactly half as much as I love my biological self.'"
4. Google pulls Gemini AI ad from Olympics after backlash (August 3) "Many have lambasted the ad on social media for completely missing the point of writing a fan letter."
5. Trump falsely accuses Harris of deciding to 'turn Black' during a combative panel with Black journalists (August 1) This is so bizarre. It's like, Trump and other Republicans are acting like they suddenly don't understand the concept of mixed-race people??? I am so confused, did not realize it was possible to not understand that. My kids are mixed-race, so I'm keeping an eye on this.
6. National Abortion Rights Groups Have the Wrong Priorities for Our Movement (August 7) "Abortion funds created a bridge between the theoretical right to an abortion and the real-world ability to access that right for the most marginalized."
7. Allie Beth Stuckey can't handle a LEGO-themed Bible made by an atheist (August 7) "It's so much like Satan to make a book like this that looks cheery and loving on the outside, that really, on the inside, is a poor depiction of what God is." Uh, that's what every bible is.
