DRAFT … in progress …

‘Facebook Memories:  19 May 2024’
(19 May 2024)

*
*

Dear Reader:

Preface.

Suck is gone mad – touched mad – deleting posts throughout Faceplop, anything that presents ideology that he opposes.

Notice on posts at my Faceplop page that Suck deleted the URL links and posts that reference to my Faceplop page:

**
This content isn’t available right now
When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.
**

**
Page not found. 
The page you requested was not found.
**

Here are today’s Faceplop Memories of this date at prior years, with selected narrative.

Fear not, Dear Reader.  I continue posting current original compositions – I have countless ideas about topics that I have never discussed here or not commented in depth.  Posting these recent ‘Memories’ allows me to catch up to what past essays I missed posting here concurrent with Faceplop posts.

 – Sharon

Dear Facebook Reader:

Facebook Memories: 18 May 2023

Dear Reader:

I may, or may not, post the entirety of texts of these daily Facebook Memories items.

Instead, I present to you these URL links to the day’s Facebook Memories.  You can tap the active URL to read the full text of either the Original Post or the subsequent Share.

Some years – whether an Original Post or a Share at a subsequent year – might be missing its URL.  That is the way Facebook works as well as iPad and Samsung.

– Facebook generally does not provide a URL to a Facebook user’s page for videos that they post to their page; instead, Facebook provides its own video URL to that video and not the actual URL to the post.

– Apple, at least using iPad, has no direct way to obtain URLs of Facebook posts, certainly not from any drop-down menu.

– Android, using my Samsung, does not provide any URL for my video post, only the video URL, same as Facebook itself.  It does include the URL link in its drop-down menu for non-video posts.

The only way that I have ever consistently and easily extracted a URL to my Post of a video that I posted to my page is using a PC; my PCs are currently inoperable, so extracting those URLs is not possible until I can repair my PC.  The URLs that you see are the URLs that I previously extracted when I had a PC to do that.

An indirect way that I obtain a URL is to ‘Like’ a post using any device.  Using Samsung (or probably any Android, certainly PC), go to the entry at Activity Log for that ‘Like’, open that post, and tap the dots to open the drop-down menu.  Select ‘Copy link’, or something similar, to obtain the URL; you can Paste that URL to your text document.

You can find and read missing years by going to the Original Post or to a subsequent post and browse the Share items.  Of course, that may not work; my Samsung does not go to any Shares posts, I must use iPad to open any Share items.  Sheesh!!!  You’d expect, with all their technology, that today’s devices could do these simple tasks.  Nope.  What a blow!

And another thing – ‘Content isn’t available … ‘.  I frequently find my own posts are deleted.  I did not do that.  I don’t know who deletes my posts, nor why they delete them.  Nor do I know why my URL links suddenly disconnect.  These are Facebook functions controlled by Facebook, thus, Facebook is deleting my Posts and disconnecting the URLs to my Posts.  Why!

One of the reasons why I re-posted these Facebook Memories was to bring past items to the present – keep myself aware of the history contained in past posts, maybe you, too.  ‘Those who forget History are doomed to repeat it.’

Thus, all the more reasons why I need to spend less of my daily Internet time (as much as four hours) here at Facebook and better use my Internet time at my SlimandMe.WordPress.com web-site – that’s my primary Internet presence and I get four hours of my life back.  I have been duplicating and expanding my Facebook items to my web-site anyway.  Ya know what – Suck dings me too much here for daring to Post the Truth, what Facebook decides violates their Community Standards.

I appreciate receiving news articles from You.  I have been taking too much time re-posting these Facebook Memories.  By spending less time duplicating Facebook, I can also better manage my daily Internet time to Share the new news articles and information that you Share with me to both this page and my web-site.

– Sharon

Erin Costello:  A detailed argument for women’s bodily autonomy

I feel like there is great misunderstanding about the actual meaning of having the right to an abortion. A lot of this misunderstanding is pushed by well-meaning liberals so I want to discuss it. Long essay ahead.

The right to abortion is NOT about the right to not be a parent. Women already have the right to not be a parent through both adoption, and safe haven laws in some states.

Abortion is specifically about the right to not be pregnant and the right to not endure child birth, which is the right to bodily autonomy.

Reproductive labor is not only a biological function, it is also the base form of labor for all economic systems. Economies cannot function if women are not constantly producing new humans. Until science figures out how to grow fetuses in a lab, childbirth will always be more valuable to capitalism than any other form of labor or technology. Reproductive labor can only be performed by women and because of this, women need protective rights under capitalism as a class.

Pregnancy and child birth are dangerous. Pregnancy is overly romanticized in western culture and so many women go into childbirth with no understanding of the risks. Death, organ damage, prolapse, hysterectomy, loss of sexual function and pleasure, PTSD, chronic pain, bone fracture, tearing, episiotomies, additional surgeries and more. In addition to this, medical abuse by OBGYNs is incredibly common, and women of color and low-income women receive the brunt of this abuse.

When you take away a woman’s right to an abortion, you are ordering her to potentially endure one or more of the things listed above. You are potentially sacrificing her health and life for a different human without her consent.

Mainstream liberals fall into the trap of debating when “life” begins. This debate is ridiculous because it is all technically “life.” Bacteria is life, ants are life, your burger was a life, zygotes are also life. It shouldn’t be taboo to discuss a fetus being a life. We cannot argue this honestly if we get offended and triggered by debates about life. There are many different abortion experiences, some are simple and a relieving, but some are truly mourned as a death. Both reactions are normal. It’s your own experience with your own body and you are not obligated to give your body to a fetus.

All of these arguments around “life” distract from the actual issue, which is that no human should be required to share their organs with another human. No human should be required to sacrifice their life for another human. The intention or reason behind the abortion is irrelevant in the context of the right to bodily autonomy.

Liberal “pro-choice” men who aggressively insist that abortion is ok because a fetus isn’t a life are subtly implying that a woman’s right to bodily automony is conditional and dependent on the status of the fetus. These men’s views on women’s bodies are not fundamentally different than that of conservative pro-lifers. Beware of lefty-dude-bros in positions of power who make these kinds of arguments.

There are people who will die if they don’t receive a kidney transplant. Yet the government cannot force you to donate your organs or blood to another person. This right to bodily autonomy even extends past death. If you don’t legally agree to be an organ donor while still alive, they will bury your healthy organs in the ground instead of use them to save another human. So why does this concept suddenly change when a woman becomes pregnant? Why must a women sacrifice her blood and organs for the fetus when post-birth humans are not entitled to even a dead person’s body parts?

When the government makes abortion illegal, the government is taking legal ownership over pregnant women’s bodies and denying them the right to make decisions about their own organs.

Women cannot be fully free and autonomous if childbirth becomes required by law. Everyone is allowed to have their own feelings about abortion, but they are not allowed to sacrifice other peoples bodies because of their feelings.

The end

Edit: I recommend reading Judith Jarvis Thomson’s essay “A Defense of Abortion” which makes a detailed argument for women’s bodily autonomy.

A Facebook ‘Memories’ from last year, from two years ago, from three years ago.

Crooked Drumpf’s Supreme Kangaroo Court declared that you no longer have the Constitutional Right to Privacy, the Constitutional Right to Body Autonomy.  The State, Big Guh’mint, the Republi-con Party owns your body same as any slave owner owns their slaves.

Edit: I recommend reading Judith Jarvis Thomson’s essay “A Defense of Abortion” which makes a detailed argument for women’s bodily autonomy.

I feel like there is great misunderstanding about the actual meaning of having the right to an abortion. A lot of this misunderstanding is pushed by well-meaning liberals so I want to discuss it. Long essay ahead.

The right to abortion is NOT about the right to not be a parent. Women already have the right to not be a parent through both adoption, and safe haven laws in some states.

Abortion is specifically about the right to not be pregnant and the right to not endure child birth, which is the right to bodily autonomy.

Reproductive labor is not only a biological function, it is also the base form of labor for all economic systems. Economies cannot function if women are not constantly producing new humans. Until science figures out how to grow fetuses in a lab, childbirth will always be more valuable to capitalism than any other form of labor or technology. Reproductive labor can only be performed by women and because of this, women need protective rights under capitalism as a class.

Pregnancy and child birth are dangerous. Pregnancy is overly romanticized in western culture and so many women go into childbirth with no understanding of the risks. Death, organ damage, prolapse, hysterectomy, loss of sexual function and pleasure, PTSD, chronic pain, bone fracture, tearing, episiotomies, additional surgeries and more. In addition to this, medical abuse by OBGYNs is incredibly common, and women of color and low-income women receive the brunt of this abuse.

When you take away a woman’s right to an abortion, you are ordering her to potentially endure one or more of the things listed above. You are potentially sacrificing her health and life for a different human without her consent.

Mainstream liberals fall into the trap of debating when “life” begins. This debate is ridiculous because it is all technically “life.” Bacteria is life, ants are life, your burger was a life, zygotes are also life. It shouldn’t be taboo to discuss a fetus being a life. We cannot argue this honestly if we get offended and triggered by debates about life. There are many different abortion experiences, some are simple and a relieving, but some are truly mourned as a death. Both reactions are normal. It’s your own experience with your own body and you are not obligated to give your body to a fetus.

All of these arguments around “life” distract from the actual issue, which is that no human should be required to share their organs with another human. No human should be required to sacrifice their life for another human. The intention or reason behind the abortion is irrelevant in the context of the right to bodily autonomy.

Liberal “pro-choice” men who aggressively insist that abortion is ok because a fetus isn’t a life are subtly implying that a woman’s right to bodily autonomy is conditional and dependent on the status of the fetus. These men’s views on women’s bodies are not fundamentally different than that of conservative pro-lifers. Beware of lefty-dude-bros in positions of power who make these kinds of arguments.

There are people who will die if they don’t receive a kidney transplant. Yet the government cannot force you to donate your organs or blood to another person. This right to bodily autonomy even extends past death. If you don’t legally agree to be an organ donor while still alive, they will bury your healthy organs in the ground instead of use them to save another human. So why does this concept suddenly change when a woman becomes pregnant? Why must a women sacrifice her blood and organs for the fetus when post-birth humans are not entitled to even a dead person’s body parts?

When the government makes abortion illegal, the government is taking legal ownership over pregnant women’s bodies and denying them the right to make decisions about their own organs.

Women cannot be fully free and autonomous if childbirth becomes required by law. Everyone is allowed to have their own feelings about abortion, but they are not allowed to sacrifice other peoples bodies because of their feelings.

The end

Edit: I recommend reading Judith Jarvis Thomson’s essay “A Defense of Abortion” which makes a detailed argument for women’s bodily autonomy.

Actually this persons confuse her right and her left. Oppression and neglect of à human is not à leftist value.
I dont know anyone who would be right wing enough to think you can abort if the fetus is alive and human just because you can do so

‘Pure Evil’: Report On Trump Administration Draining Fund For FDNY’s 9/11 Responders Draws Outrage

TOPLINE A New York Daily News scoop published Thursday revealed that the Trump administration has siphoned around $4 million from the New York City Fire Department’s fund for its September 11 first responders, drawing outrage on the 19th anniversary of the attacks, but the U.S. Treasury says the money was diverted because of “delinquent debt” owed by New York City to the federal government.

KEY FACTS

The funds are part of the FDNY World Trade Center Health Program, which was established by the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, a bill passed by Congress that provides healthcare to first responders who have suffered a range of illnesses from exposure to dust and smoke at Ground Zero.

“TRUMP DOESN’T ONLY HATE VETERANS, HE HATES FIRST RESPONDER HEROES,” tweeted actress Debra Messing in reaction to the Daily News report.

Fred Guttenberg, father of Parkland school shooting victim Jamie Guttenberg, said he was “F—KING P⁠—-ED” about the report, because his brother died of cancer from 9/11.

“From the administration whose identity is built on claims of honoring first responders,” Julie Cohen, director of the RBG documentary, wrote on Twitter.

“This doesn’t surprise me at all,” Army veteran and advocate Paul Rieckoff wrote on Twitter. “Trump did NOTHING to push for the extension of #Zadroga last year.”

“We are also working with Congressman King and others to examine any potential authorities to provide relief in this case to support our nation’s 9/11 heroes,” the Treasury spokesperson. told Forbes, but could not provide any examples of how they would do it, and did not have a timeline.

CRUCIAL QUOTE

“Here we have sick World Trade Center-exposed firefighters and EMS workers, at a time when the city is having difficult financial circumstances due to COVID-19, and we’re not getting the money we need to be able to treat these heroes,” FDNY Chief Medical Officer David Prezant told the Daily News. 

CHIEF CRITIC 

“Pure evil,” tweeted Dr. Dena Grayson, a medical expert who specializes in ebola and other viruses.
