The thing is: you don't actually need to understand these life worlds at all. All you need to understand is this:
Stripping rights from one specific group today can only enable a system that endangers all our rights tomorrow.
Because when first they come for one group that is never where it ends.

... attack on rights for more people to see that. This is where the roots of my anger lie: our historical and current data-driven knowledge tells us this is the trajectory.
But it really does not have to be. We can choose to reject it. But that requires many, many more people to understand this.

No matter how extreme, no anti-immigration policy will ever improve British lives. I know this framing is perhaps alien to you, but it matters:
This is not immigrants vs British people.
It's immigrants delivering for Britain because we need them and this country - literally - only works together.

We’re doing this AGAIN?! Every 6 months or so, men come out of the woodwork to tear down smart women. A few years back the #ImmodestWomen backlash even made the news.
These men can basically die mad because the PhD she worked hard for isn’t going anywhere and neither is she (or any of us).

It's a revealing moment...
J.D. Vance welcomes a two-legged robot helping on the job site. But if that helper is a person named Jose, he calls it a threat. Same tasks, same productivity boost.
The inconsistency reveals this isn’t about economics.

I know some people get weirded out by the earnestness of queer allies, but I love every cis/straight person loudly showing their support for their LGBTQIA friends, families and random strangers.
Demonstrating to others their acceptance and love is an important art of normalising our existence too.

I usually do some sort of work every day of the week. (I worked yesterday until 5.) I’d planned to work this afternoon but then took the daylight hours to do a puzzle. Then was going to work tonight. But instead, I’ve got to allow myself a day off every now and then. Freelancing ain’t for the weak.
