Reminds me of other instances of people talking over and silencing victims because their stories challenge the believed myth. 🥚 [contains quote post or other embedded content]04 Oct 2026 15:15 +0000at://did:plc:qc2cwkhp5p7gvi5md6pid4bv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mx2oxhicic23https://bsky.app/profile/kwrights.bsky.social/post/3mwt4rkwyi22oI've have many thoughts about that #adoption story line in Shrinking. At the moment I'll say for a show built around trauma, I'm disappointed but not surprised at how adoption is portrayed. We're given more insight into a patient who appeared in two episodes than we are about the birth mother.01 Oct 2026 15:01 +0000at://did:plc:qc2cwkhp5p7gvi5md6pid4bv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mwt4rkwyi22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/kwrights.bsky.social/post/3mw4hjr537c2kStill pondering this question today as I read progressive responses to Millie Bobby Brown adopting a second baby. They just don't get it even when it's pointed out. I don't really know what I'm saying here except that I'm extremely disappointed. Just feeling sad about it all I guess. 🥚 [contains quote post or other embedded content]22 Sep 2026 14:42 +0000at://did:plc:qc2cwkhp5p7gvi5md6pid4bv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mw4hjr537c2khttps://bsky.app/profile/kwrights.bsky.social/post/3mvzzieumd22qI don't understand progressives. In any other context they'll analyze and critique the reasoning behind a social construct, but when it comes to #adoption? 🤷 How is it irrelevant that a woman "chooses" adoption because she can't afford to raise her child? 1/321 Sep 2026 15:25 +0000at://did:plc:qc2cwkhp5p7gvi5md6pid4bv/app.bsky.feed.post/3mvzzieumd22q
