"Go to an old cemetery. See all the baby graves from before the 1950s & 60s? After that, hardly any. That's when people started vaccinating their children. If you're unsure what to do to protect your kids, the answer is literally written in stone." — Michael Okuda

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.

They were discussing Mary Poppins on @alltherightmovies.com and they mentioned that ‘A Spoonful of Sugar’ was inspired by one of the composer’s sons getting the polio vaccine in a sugar cube.

Politicians are by and large not movement leaders - they are the ones who see where the movements, and votes, are going.
That's a feature and not a bug - so be the movement they will need to follow, and be accountable to.

For those asking where the Dems are, I might suggest: the right didn’t wait on the Republicans. They plotted the course & the Republicans followed, at first in small packs, but eventually all falling in line. The left may have to do something similar. Don’t wait on “the Democrats”. Show them the way
