For the same reason as I have like seventeen receipts waiting for me to draw on the back of them which could easily be pressed into service as bookmarks, and yet also have *counts* five books propped open on various surfaces.
I also have fifty-two tabs open across four windows.
I’ve spoken up about this before, and it might seem nitpicky, but it’s the difference that lets people claim that being antisemitic isn’t even about Jews.

“It’s the difference that lets people claim that being antisemitic isn’t even about Jews.”
We also need to stop saying she’s “free”. She isn’t. She still has 10yrs probation, mandatory community service hours, and requirements for maintaining a job in order to remain unincarcerated. She’s been released from a physical prison only to enter the open air prison so many people in the carceral state are confined to.
This shouldn’t be over. She should be fully pardoned. It’s unconscionable that they can choose to incarcerate her again for any minor infractions they deem in violation of her probation. This release shouldn’t be conditional, and right now it is.
A young woman, trafficked against her will, defended herself and ended up with 15 years in jail and 10 years of probation. In what world is this just?
My heart cries for her, as all of ours should. She deserved better and the justice system failed her and many others
