Listen to this!!!
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
same. I heard 'you're gonna go to college so you don't have to work outside with your hands' a bunch as a kid.

essentially the entire problem with doctoring is that two totally different professions— medicine and care— have been combined into one, and people who want to do medicine broadly resent the expectation to perform care, to disastrous results.
Yeah exactly! And while they get to less now, I think they do still get to in relation to too many people via various dodges.
Reading this it occurs to me that really universities and a good deal else were already authoritarian a long while back but didn't, so to speak, tend to flex those muscles as often. (That's not to deny any of the rapid bad changes in the present, it's just to note they arose from longer process.)

I would definitely buy a perpetual coffee machine!
