But if they are illegal and treated as murder then people who don't want the "inconvenience" of pregnancy will try harder to not conceive.

A bug in my bank's mobile app cost me $90 in bank fees, and it took me two hours on the phone, being hung up on, and being locked out of online banking for them to give my money back. They refused to address the bug whatsoever.

Demonitization is not censorship, even though they can come hand-in-hand.

I'm not one to frequently share things like this but @[email protected] was a high school classmate of mine and fibromyalgia sounds absolutely horrible. https://www.gofundme.com/f/saving-lindsay039s-health

One year ago today was truly my first #IndependenceDay, as documents confirming my withdrawal of US citizenship arrived in the mail that day.

"Tap pay" as it currently exists, has "security features" that make it inconvenient. Here's some ways it could have more freedom while being simultaneously more secure. https://levisan.me/blog/a-better-way-to-do-tap-pay

One of the silver linings of the cloud that is dog ownership is the silence and peace that comes with early morning walks and sunrises.
