Help. I've been contemplating non-violence and us-vs-them and many people I admire here say that's the way to go. The Texas Supreme Court just ruled that judges can deny gay couples marriages today.
Help. Please tell me how to grieve. I never see you guys hate online. Is it weird that I don't feel loved when I just see silence on these issues?
It's time to make circumcision illegal. Here’s the deal.

I Don't Have To. I’ve had an intellectual understanding that I don’t have to do things, but I’ve recently realized that it was tethered to old beliefs. I don’t have to visit my grandmother if I’m willing to be a bad granddaughter/bad person.
or I don’t have to buy my friend a birthday present if I’m willing to be a shitty friend.
I’m freshly looking at a new version of I don’t have to
which is just a literal seeing of reality without the tether. I don’t have to clean up my stepmother’s hoarding house after she dies.
It’s just true, I literally don’t have to.
More People Should Die. Elderly people should be able to legally choose to end their life when they’re ready. In fact, any adult should be legally allowed to choose to die. They should be able to invite people, be present for their memorial service, and have a medical professional end their life.
And we should be more present with death in society. People should be able to attend their loved ones’ cremations. Embalming should be illegal.
What do you think are the biggest planetary potentials? I want to think of it in a bunch of ways, but one is through the lens of things we want to improve, eg:
1) What are the biggest problems/threats/embarrassments? and another is
2) What are the greatest potentials? I'll post some examples in the comments
