‘Maalstroom’ is the name given to those storm giants who embrace undeath in exchange for immortality and fathomless arcane power. Unlike humanoid liches, maalstrooms need not feed the souls of others into a phylactery - all they require is an enchanted lodestone known as the Heart of the Storm, to which a storm giant quinetssent must be bound. The process is long and complex but mostly harmless; if anything being bound to a Heart of the Storm actually solidifies a quintessent’s presence in the world.

Giants are naturally predisposed towards reclusive lives in lonely fortresses, so very little adaptation is necessary when then ascend to lichhood. Although some maalstrooms use their power to subjugate humanoid empires, ruling as immortal god-emperors, thankfully most maintain their isolation or make war on the great enemy of giant-kind, the dragons.

On Wednesday, September 1, 2021, Texas’s new law, S.B. 8, went into effect. This law effectively bans abortion in the state AND asks private citizens to act as bounty hunters to “enforce” the law.

Then, in the dead of the night, the Supreme Court turned its back on 50 years of precedent, rendering Roe v. Wade effectively meaningless in Texas. The Supreme Court allowed Texas’s unconstitutional six week abortion ban to go into effect. Six weeks is before many people know that they’re pregnant.

This is an attack on human rights and Texas law sets a dangerous legal precedent and could clear a path for states to override people’s constitutional rights. If the courts let this bill stand we can expect to see similar bills introduced in states across the country.

Abortion is health care. Yet politicians are consistently attacking access to that care (even during a pandemic).

Tumblr, let's rally our voice and speak out against this ban.
