@blogdiva @design_law @academicchatter Another great option might be Policing the Crisis: Mugging, the State, and Law & Order by Stuart Hall et al https://openlibrary.org/books/OL28020564M/Policing_the_Crisis

It's sort of an extended case study into terms & consequences.

For instance, the first chapter, "The Social History of a 'Moral Panic'," talks about how mugging replaced synonyms like snatching or robbery in 1970s UK, with correspondingly higher punishment that primarily targeted minoritized youths instead of, for instance, white sailors or etc traditionally charged with snatching or robbery instead of mugging.

@ellane @obsidianmd @drafts At least in my few weeks experience with Obsidian sync, it gets grumpy if any note is open when the app first opens. The sync process will try to combine versions, but it doesn't always do so elegantly.

I haven't lost any content yet, but I have had the content of notes duplicated, and even entire notes duplicated into additional copies.

So I suspect you'd be setting yourself up for similar frustration if you used a Drafts action—at least if the text you added went into an already-existing note instead of an entirely new one.
