Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career

Maybe this is a cultural difference, but the right to life is not a civil right in my world; it's usually framed as a natural or human right, when it's included in a rights-based analysis. Health care may get framed as a social right (though that's not a term I'm familiar with tbh), but given its direct connection to the right to life, to me it's closer to a human right.

But my point was more that this isn't a political debate over, for example, the right to not be discriminated against at work for being trans, it's a struggle against a deliberate campaign of extermination with the goal of eliminating (annihilating as ivy said) trans people entirely. IMO talking about that as "trans rights" is way overly generous to the fascists who welcome any fig leaf of respectability for their genocidal project.

Civil and political VS economic, social and cultural are the two main categories of human rights for historical reasons, since there were two blocks at the time the Covenants elaborated on the Declaration. You're right that we don't really speak like that any more and just say human rights.

The special attention granted to LGBTQ people is under the angle of discrimination because the rest (protection from threats, hate speech etc) is presumably already covered unless you live in criminalizing countries... except of course that some states have proven to fail / be complicit and then it becomes a judicial battle to enforce. But speaking of rights is still correct imo.

Doesn’t reinvent the wheel but this is just a lovely album and so glad they’re back.

Just read discussion above and finding it hard to parse how lovely this is with her views.

people can be like that, encountered a lot of lovely doting moms of friends growing up who turned cold as ice the second they found out you didn't go to church

people who suck ass can make pretty music, next

Are there any lyrical nods to 'recent events' as it were on this album
