re abortion doulas: in Minnesota, get in touch with SPIRAL Collective and follow them on Instagram (where they're more active) to learn about upcoming trainings, which they offer sporadically. If people are going to be doing lots of misoprostol-only abortions, the need for doulas will increase

It’s gotten harder to end pregnancies across the Midwest. Abortion doulas in Minnesota say they’re here to help.

How to get an abortion in Minnesota? Abortion doulas say they can help people from Wisconsin, Iowa, and the Dakotas with travel planning and health care.

At present, the Class has filed claims for 440,490 of the 482,460 Works on the Works List, reflecting
a claims rate of 91.3%. This is up from the 54% reported in Plaintiffs' motion for final approval filed on

Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited

I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again
