Jesus fucking christ i am exhausted of people who refuse to take even 1 class that would introduce them to ideas like the social construction of rules, laws, tech, & definitions of "crime," & who continually learn the wrong lessons from every science fiction story they ever meet. I mean holy shit.

NEW: 16 months ago, a young Palestinian locksmith went to help unlock a car.

He's been in detention ever since.

The FBI interrogated him. After refusing to become an informant, he was put in high-security as "retribution."

He's not convicted of a crime—but ICE will neither free nor deport him.

Boiling milk before use was just what you did. They had dedicated cookware for it. (Specially shaped to contain boil-overs, which milk is really prone to.)

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"

That's... usually not the case!

In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.

We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?
