If I could make a plea for BlueSky, it’s this: Please make a point of sharing links to articles, essays and more that you LOVE, that you enjoyed, that expanded you in some way. I’m always surprised by the dominance of hate-shares, complaint shares on here. And I think it has a riptide effect.

They thought they had it locked up because the media wants them to win and had the Democrats on the back foot, and now the Democrats have the initiative and they have no plan. Watching them freak out is giving me life.

I don't know who first said "Walk into a room like you are a punishment sent by God," but I think about it a lot before stepping into a certain kind of meeting.

Brittany Watts, the Black Ohio woman who was charged after having a miscarriage in her bathroom toilet, says a nurse called the police on her: www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/...

Upon arriving at the hospital a third time in the middle of her miscarriage, Watts said a nurse reassured her that “everything’s going to be OK.” Meanwhile, that nurse, whom the hospital has not identified, called the police, Watts said. In a call with a 911 dispatcher shared by CBS News, the nurse said Watts “didn’t want to look” at the fetus. She also alleged Watts “didn’t want the baby and she didn’t look,” according to the 911 audio. Watts said, however, this was not true.

“I said I did not want to look,” Watts said Friday. “I have never said I didn’t want my baby. I would have never said something like that. It just makes me angry that somebody would put those type of words in my mouth to make me seem so callous and so — so hateful.”

as much as the imaginary of pregnancy criminalization is dominated by checkpoints, period trackers, and intensive surveillance, these kinds of arrests are so much more likely to come via health care workers

Huge scoop by Erin Reed. Ohio and Michigan Republicans announced their intention to expand bans on gender affirming care to everyone. This isn't about protecting children, and never was. Bans on youth care were the first step of an attempt by the right to legislate trans people out of existence.

Today I am appreciating the simple things: The difference between a good medium-sized panty and a great medium-sized panty is that a good panty will strain to contain a large ass, a great one will stretch.
