      @caulkthewagon This line of argument is even less compelling to me, in no small part bc I share a house w/ someone actually facing down cancer at the moment.

    @caulkthewagon Even before cancer, serving on the Supreme Court was Ginsburg's purpose in life, but after… it's hard not to believe that service to her country was reason enough to stay alive.

      @caulkthewagon I'm deeply uncomfortable w/ a moral/political positioning that expects someone to give up the thing they have worked for their whole lives, the think that may literally be the reason they are staying alive…

        @caulkthewagon … in order to hedge a bet for the country about the worst case in the next election.

          @caulkthewagon Like, don't do the thing you feel you have precisely honed yourself to do because you might die after a right-wing billionaire blowhard replaces a moderate Black president in six years.

            @caulkthewagon The core for me this: if someone tells you that you have limited time on this Earth, you do the thing you feel you were most meant to do. That feels to me like a human reality that cannot be overridden by political hypotheticals.
