Observing what's going on across the pond, I forgot that abortion is still yet to be decriminalised in the UK.
In the past decade, police in England and Wales have investigated at least 17 people for procuring their own abortion outside the law.
A doctor can still contentiously object to carrying out a procedure.
These colonial era laws continue to apply in countries like Gambia, Malawi and Jamaica.
I know it's comparing apples to oranges, but we're still living under laws of the dark ages.
It's been a year of movie franchise re-watches for me and my significant other this year: Fast and Furious, Resident Evil, the Alien universe, James Bond, Bored Identity, (new) Planet of the Apes, The Indiana Jones Trilogy...
There will, of course, be a Star Trek marathon by the end of the year; this is the way.
I know I've been here a few years now, mostly lurk-and-like but still pay for pro. Mainly it's because I'm introverted, grumpy, and life's been uneventful for me recently; daily grindosaurus.
I happily still pay pro because among other things I believe in the foundations; no other platform protects its users better.
You get out what you put in. My mind is free from the algorithm and the need for micro endorphin hits - I don't need to interact if I've nothing meaningful.
Have a great day. 🖖
I nuked all my socials except two. Put BlueSky to sleep for now while I contemplate.
15+ years, pouring heart and soul at times, for the odd exchange, like, repost. I've changed: social media has changed.
I didn't announce my departure; those thousands of people are only interested in the next thing deemed popular by MSM and their favourite celebs.
I won't be coerced into keeping tanking ad infested accounts alive out of fear of losing connections who never wanted to interact beyond them.

Top photography tip: check there's an SD card in the camera BEFORE you leave, not when you whip it out to take an interesting pic. Good job I don't do this for a living... 😂 #stupididiot
