Reading others' thoughts on any sci-fi story can be so illuminating about the many different sorts of assumptions and lenses individuals bring to a piece. With Pluribus, it's true in an exponential way, because it shows how innately resistant people are to imagining a true lack of individuality.

When you self-publish a book, find a cool artist and pay them out of your pocket for a cover. You will not regret this.

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

One of the more absurd things that gets said in the ER a lot is that a chief complaint probably isn’t serious or real when it’s an unhoused patient.
Gonna blow some minds and point out that *people sleeping outdoors with no money are actually going to get sick more often*.

There are things that are complicated: Rupert Murdoch owns HarperCollins. Amazon helps us self-pub books. There are tangles that are hard to unravel.
This is ONE franchise, whose owner has a *death grip* on the rights, profits directly from everything, and uses that money to target people violently

At this point: if you watch this, if you play the game, if you give this evil twisted racist terf money - you’re making a very specific choice and telling us how little you care for other ppl. And we’ll all remember it. Move on. Get over it. Choose.
“J.K. Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement."
She does. But those views are harming trans people, and JK Rowling should face consequences for that.

In all likelihood, if you use public bathrooms, you have shared them with trans people plenty of times, and nothing has happened, and you haven’t even known, because you don’t interrogate people who are just trying to use the restroom in peace, which is as it should be.
