This is Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s legacy and fault.
Why are we pinning this on a dead woman instead of the people who actually axed Roe v Wade? Can we really say for sure that this wouldn’t have happened if RBG had retired in 2013? How could she have possibly known? I know it’s tempting to think of what could have happened if things played out differently. But they didn’t. RBG is dead. Conservative, misogynistic judges did this. It is their fault, because they did this.

When I was a kid my dad and his brothers gaslit me and my cousins into believing in a made up type of bird. They called it a snipe. They said they were fat flightless birds and you could catch them at night and keep ‘em for a while and feed them blueberries. On family get togethers when we’d all rent a lake cabin they’d take us snipe hunting. They’d have plastic bags and they’d “see” snipe and run after them and told us to speak up and point if we saw a snipe and when we inevitably did (because kids have big imaginations and also will simply lie so they can be a part of something) they’d run and throw themselves onto the ground trying to “catch” the “snipe.” Obviously we never caught one. They were so committed to the bit and it was so fun
Alright apparently my family did NOT invent this and the snipe hunt has actually existed as a prank since at least the 1840s but usually the people being pranked would just be abandoned in the forest. This version involving grown men running and throwing themselves on the ground to catch nothing to entertain children is way funnier

reposting a favorite reddit moment of mine since god knows if ill ever see it again
Lawyer: How would you like to handle the custody agreement?
Parent: I want my wife to take one of my infant daughters to the UK and I’ll take the other one and we will never see each other again.
Lawyer: You want to fucking what?
