Just a firehose of chatter that you can pick little strands of 02_ conversation out of. Sometimes I feel comfortable I think about_ writing and, rarely, I feel confident writing but often I feel █▀█▀▄ █▄▄▄█ █▀ █ like a fraud or imposter.

Around In my mind body autonomy is a the same space and at the same speed human right. Across the board, be it but if everything goes to plan it'll abortion, gender reassignment be a collaborative work, which will surgery, right to die or a be a lot of fun to put together. (potential) vaccine mandate and anything that trespasses on that right should be stood up against. It's got nothing to do with the risk of side effects or the rush to market or any of that, it's that we've reached the point where I feel like I need to draw a line. It's the same for any other protest. An environmental protestor chaining themselves to a tree isn't doing it because they think that this particular forest needs to be saved, they aren't doing it because they think the loggers will throw up their hands and give up, they're doing it because this is the point where enough was enough and they needed to say "no more" - whether it be effective or not. By declining the vaccine I'm saying that I belive so strongly that you can not cross this line that whatever increased risk I face or whatever threats or sanctions or bribes are offered to me to comply are burdens worth standing up to. These are my feelings, formed from my life experience, make of them what you will. I could be mislead and be dead wrong but as it stands now, that's where I landed. 23_ Don't @ me. ▀ ▄▀ ▀ ▀ ▄▀ █▀ ▀▄▀ ▄▀ ▀ ▀ ▀█▀▄▀█▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▄█▄▀███▀ ▄ ▄▀▄ ▄▀ ▀▄▀ ▀ ▀ █▀███▀█▀ ▀ ▀ ▀██▄▀▄▀▄▀ ▀ ▀ ▀███████▀ ▀▄ ▄▀█▀█ ▄▀█▀▄▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▄▀█▀█████▀ ▀ ▀▄▀███▀ ▀█▀█▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ████████ ▀ ▀▄██▀█▀ ▀█▀▄▀▄ ▀ ▀ ▄▀ ▄▀▄███████▀ ▄▀▄████▀ ▀█▀█▀▄▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▄ ▀▄ ████████ ▄▀███▀█▀ ▀█▀ ▀█▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀█▀ ▀ ▀▄▀███████▀ ▀█▀█▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ ▄▀ ▀▄▀▄ ▀▄▀▄▀█████████▀ ▀ ▀ ▄ ▀▄ ▄▀██▄▀ ▀▄▀███▀▄▀▄▀ ▀████████ ▀ ▄▀▄▀▄██▀ ▀█▀▄▀█▀ ▄▀ ▀ ▄████████ ▄▀▄██▀███▀█▀▄████████▀ ▀▄ █████████▄▀██████▄ ██▄▀ ▀███▀█▀█▀█▀ ████████▀██ ▀█████████▀▄▀█▀▄████▀█▀▀▀▀▀█▀███▀█▀▄██▀▄ ▄▀█▀▀ ▄ ▀▄██████████▀█████████████████▀▀▀ █▄ ▀█▀███▀███▀█ ▀ ▀ ▄▀█▀ ▄▀█████████████████████████▀█▀ ▀█▀▄ ▄▀███████▀ ▄▀▄ ▄▀█▀██▄ ▄███▄▀██████████████████████▄▀██▄ ▄ ▄████████████████▀ ▀█▀█▀████████▄█▄████████████████████████████████████████████████████████▀ ▀████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ▄▀███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████▀ ▄█████████████████████████████████████ ▀▄▄ ██ ▀▀▄▀████▀ ██████████████████ ▄▀████████████████████████████████████▄ ██▄██▀▀▀ ██▀▄ ▀█████████████████▀ ▄▀████████████████████████████████████ ▀▀ ██▀▄▄ ▀██▀▀▀ ▄██▀▀▀▀▀██▀▀▀▀▀██▀ ▄███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ▄▀█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████▀
