and now the 5-4 Podcast have their episode up on Dobbs v. Jackson and the leaked decision:

5-4 - Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health: The End of Roe on Stitcher

In this emergency episode, the hosts are talking about what happens now that a draft of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision has been leaked.

There's an appropriate amount of swearing in the discussion.

I generally trust the hosts of 5-4 and so I've been waiting to hear their comments on this matter.

the Opening Arguments podcast put out an episode today discussing the contents of the draft opinion that leaked last night:

Emergency Episode – Roe to be Overturned

Just stunning. Despite OA warning you about this for years, it still is, and should be, utterly shocking to see in print. Andrew has somehow already read the opinion and has a preliminary breakdown…

Opening Arguments

I found it (the podcast) educational and alarming.

In case you want to hear a (justifiably) upset lawyer go over the document itself.

I saw a lot of people on my trip into the city that Friday. I'd guess somewhere between 10 and 20 percent were wearing masks.

I hung around in the shops until the anxiety of being around that many people got to me. I spent a long time working towards being less anxious around people, with a lot of success. The last few years have been a big setback.

I'm weirdly very afraid of structured, planned writing. I'll talk a lot of nonsense on IRC or in person but expressing coherent thoughts in text is petrifying.

When I started DJing for internet radio (and later for my website) I knew I wanted to work on this problem by forcing myself to write about each set. Even if it was only a sentence or two. It's been challenging. The writing part has often been more difficult than the DJing part. I feel like it's beginning to pay off, though, in that it has become noticeably easier and more comfortable to do.
