Flu Vax Yesterday . . .

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 15:35:49 GMT

Last week I posted that Mom'n'I got our COVID shots. Mom also got her flu shot (she doesn't usually react to vaxes), and the next day we were both tired and slept 12 hours that night, but other than that were fine. I usually get mild flu-like symptoms the day after my flu shot — got my flu shot yesterday, icky today.

Looking (here?) for a tumblr post

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 00:45:48 GMT

I'm looking for what might have been a quote, which I'm pretty sure I reblogged on tumblr inside of the last year. It said something like that the insistence that any issue should be debated meant that oppressed people are disproportionately required to debate their right to exist.

If that was close enough for my searches to work I wouldn't be posting this, but that's the gist of it. Any help?

Edited to add: Found it! The original is a tweet dated 2019-05-20 10:31 AM by Michael J Dolan @michaelxdolan, the text reads “When you argue that fascists should be defeated through debate what you're actually suggesting is that vulnerable minorities should have to endlessly argue for their right to exist and at no point should the debate be considered over and won.”

I wrote an image transcription for my tumblr reblog a couple of years ago.
