danny’s had a lot of time to himself since he moved away from amity park when the portal closed. learning new hobbies and taking up part time jobs occasionally helps hold off the boredom without anyone he knows around. it’s really not his fault that nobody else wanted to move to gotham. there seems to be some interesting people everywhere he goes though, so hopefully he won’t be bored for long.
danny moves to gotham and manages to jump into a hobby of literally every vigilante in the city, and starts trying to put together their identities. nothing’s worse than boredom after all.
except maybe a swarm of agitated bats.

fauci saying “vulnerable people will fall by the wayside” and that some will die but that’s ok because we’re not going to see the “tsunami of cases” we’ve seen before is so dehumanising. so babies with no immune system, elderly people, disabled people, and people without adequate access to healthcare can all die of covid. but it’s ok guys because actually they’re just falling to the wayside and everyone else will go back to normal and be fine (sarcasm).
my death or the deaths of my family or friends wouldn’t be us “falling by the wayside”, it would be us being failed by our government, healthcare systems, and communities who have refused to take coronavirus seriously despite mounting anecdotal and scientific evidence of the harm this virus does. fact that people can accept the deaths of vulnerable groups just because they want to eat in a restaurant or don’t want to wear a mask is horrifying

This is starting to be old news but I haven’t seen ANYONE discussing it, and I think it ties a LOT into a bunch of other discussions we’re having about the evangelical need to adopt children and what happens once they’re there (spoiler: it’s abuse it’s always abuse they ALWAYS abuse their adopted kids).
I’m not pasting in the whole article, just the tl;dr. It’s worth reading, and so are OTHER articles about this specific case because these abusive morons can’t keep their argument straight.
“Jenna Campau of Fennville adopted the 17-year-old identified in court documents as A.C. from Ukraine in 2021, according to the complaint Campau filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. The teenager has one kidney, chronic kidney disease and other medical issues and receives dialysis at DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids.
DeVos hospital doctors have said the teen needs a kidney transplant, according to the lawsuit, but must meet pre-transplant requirements including receiving vaccines such as those for COVID-19, influenza and human papillomavirus.
Campau and her husband argue that requirement violates their civil rights protections because they hold religious objections to "any vaccine or medical product that is produced or researched using aborted fetal cells and also genetic modifications or therapies that involve combing (sic) human and cells or DNA," the lawsuit states.
She is asking a judge to declare the hospital's refusal to provide the teen with a transplant unlawful. A Connecticut nonprofit called We The Patriots, USA said it is paying for the lawsuit. The organization said it works for religious freedom, medical freedom, parental rights and other issues.
During a Monday press conference, Campau said she is concerned the teen will turn 18 and be removed from the pediatric transplant list before the case is resolved. She said DeVos staff threatened to call child welfare about the family's refusal to vaccinate the teenager. (bolding mine)
You do not have a right to an organ transplant, unfortunately. There’s a limited number of organs available every year, and the transplant center is allowed to set rules about who the organs are going to. Some of the rules can sound pretty cruel (lots of them want to make sure you have a cash source for pre and post op care AND organ anti-rejection medicine for multiple years into the future). Some of the rules, like being vaccinated, are common sense.
Your child needs an organ transplant, which will put them on anti-rejection medicine for the rest of their life, making them immunocompromised. You know, the people who STILL are making a big deal about this whole COVID thing you never took seriously in the first place. Not only is SHE unvaccinated, but the whole HOUSEHOLD is unvaccinated for MULTIPLE illnesses (I think we’re supposed to assume since the suit says COVID-19, flu, and HPV are the vaccines in the suit that they have everything else? I’d love to know). This kid would be dead in less than a year if she got a transplant as things stand now, almost certainly.
NOBODY would transplant an organ under those conditions and absolutely zero court will agree with you. You decided to do this INSTEAD OF just getting the damn shots that will allow her to be put on the transplant list?
