Rümeysa Öztürk was grabbed off the street in my town one month ago.

    I can’t think of any other ones that are sad. Maybe I missed them?

      The ones about cancer were pretty sad, but some were hopeful too.

        The Trump administration just yesterday stopped a long running data gathering effort to study women’s medical needs as they age. Decades of valuable information, blood samples interviews etc.

        Fuck women right? Grab them by the pussy!

        But not my daughter or my sister or my nieces or my mom. My sister in law might be interested though and her friend too, but that’s a whole nother story.

          Ah, back to the good ol this medication might be more harmful to women and we don’t know because we only use middle aged white men for the studies!

            Studies? No, we don’t do studies here anymore. Now we just declare things. If you just declare something enough then it becomes true.

              Especially bankruptcies. He has experience declaring that.

              I call this “the Fox News approach to reality.”

        Those had me nail biting over the scale of months/years. That first cancer one where they were holding each other with no reference frame was rough. 800 frames of sarcasm and wit and all of a sudden… BOOM

        He explained it like 6 months later, but stayed pretty quiet, then the two years (1141) was kinda optimistic, then 7 (1928) was kinda a breath of relief, 10 years (2386) was refreshing, now I’m quietly waiting to see 15.

        I went back and reread xkcd somewhat recently, and seeing each of the cancer ones, and how the panels were added as they kept living…

        Ugh, I teared up just typing that. Christ.
