And if that doesn’t set off your righteous indignation, two more words will. Terry Schiavo.

Or, to put it even more pithily: intersectionality is important.

Which is bullshit. I think I’d buried that so I wouldn’t have to think about it.

I’m imagining there was some confusion over what Prussia even was, figuring it was some odd way of saying Russia. Or scribal error.

if Jeb Bush or the kids he has with his Latina wife were claiming to be a minorities on government job applications,

To Roberts, Alito, and Thomas, this is my face right now.

A tied court also can’t set precedent. Scalia dying took this dumbass argument (in this case, saying that this way of trying to say the circuit courts aren’t doing it right if they rule in favor of Affirmative Action’s continued existence) off the table in the future, whereas a tie would have just kicked it down the…

I have to imagine the Kiss would be a sure fire way to destroy a living Horcrux.

It seems more likely to me that, being a Horcrux, Harry had an excess of soul and would appeal to the Dementors quite strongly. Consequently, I wonder what Kissing Harry would have done - would it have taken his soul, leaving him a fully autonomous Horcrux with a body, or taken all of it, leaving him a husk, or taken…
