It is possible I have a fever

I have a sore throat and have asked to be brought jello.

I find myself pondering making fruit jello with black tea instead of water. Or with herbal tea.

It feels as if it would taste good, and more grownuppish.

...It is depressing to have to point out, yet again, that there is a distinction between having the legal right to say something & having the moral right not to be held accountable for what you say. Being asked to apologise for saying something unconscionable is not the same as being stripped of the legal right to say it. It’s really not very fucking complicated. Cry Free Speech in such contexts, you are demanding the right to speak any bilge you wish without apology or fear of comeback. You are demanding not legal rights but an end to debate about & criticism of what you say. When did bigotry get so needy? This assertive & idiotic failure to understand that juridical permissibility backed up by the state is not the horizon of politics or morality is absurdly resilient.)

No. I cannot extract. I cannot asplain. I cannot sum up. I can only say "Go. Go and Read."
