Monthly Reminder (Al Gore Rhythm dodging version on ig because otherwise no one sees it there, but here we can actually use the damn words). So, if you're feeling overwhelmed by all the terrible news, the SINGLE BEST WAY TO FEEL BETTER is to take action. Not scroll. Not watch another video on instagram or tiktok, not listen to a podcast. Actually Take A Concrete Action. I want you to learn a little more, do a little more, or help a little more. Or all three if you can! To learn a little more, read the zine How To Do [...]

So I tell you every month that you can (and should!) get abortion pills online in case you need them. But how much do you know about what to expect if you take them? And would you like to maybe know a little more, so you can do a better job of supporting yourself or anyone else who takes them? Because the good folks over at Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness (@tangled_wilderness) put together an amazing little zine called How To Do It Anyway, by Hazel Acacia, that tells you everything you need to know about what happens when you [...]

I think you should stock your medicine cabinet now while you still can. So let's talk about how. If you're lucky enough to have insurance, some disposable income, and a good doctor, talk to them! Ask for their help. Say you're worried about access to birth control and emergency contraception and abortion pills, ask them to write you a prescription, and use that insurance you're already paying so much for to fill those prescriptions. If that's kind of a lot to talk to your doctor about, I get it. You can get hormonal birth control online without ever seeing a [...]

Do you live in Wisconsin? If so, go vote for Judge Susan Crawford on Tuesday April 1. ⁠Do you know anyone in Wisconsin? If so, reach out to them and ask them to vote for Judge Susan Crawford. Yes, even if it feels so very very very awkward to do so.⁠ Why do I care about which judge wins an election in a state I've never even set foot in? Because judges are the ones holding the line against the worst excesses of the current administration, and this election will decide who holds the majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. [...]

So this is what I posted over on IG this month: Is it gross that we can't say the word lest the Algo Overlords hide the post? Yup, super gross!⁠ ⁠ Are we going to let that stop us? Oh hell no. We'll do this with coded language if that's what we need to do. Because y'all are clever and know exactly what I'm talking about. And it's important to make sure the information is out there, even if we have to talk around it. ⁠ ⁠ Now...do me a favor and help me out in my ongoing quest to [...]

Monthly Reminder! Abortions are good. Abortion pills are safe and effective up to 13 weeks. You can order abortion pills online. Even if you're not pregnant right now. Even if you cannot afford to pay for them. Even if you live in a state with a ban. Abortion information is being actively suppressed online. (That means it's SUPER HELPFUL IF YOU LIKE/SAVE/SHARE THIS POST. No really, it actually helps.) Instagram and facebook are hiding or taking down posts from accounts that talk about it too much, search engines are prioritizing misleading search results and making money off ads from crisis [...]

Abortions are good!^ If you or someone in your household can get pregnant, I think you should have abortion pills in your medicine cabinet. Just in case. Because things are about to get bad. You can order abortion pills online from Aid Access. You can order them even if you're not pregnant. Aid Access will send them to you no matter where you live (they are overseas and do not comply with requests from US law enforcement). They are safe (literally safer than tylenol) and effective, and you can absolutely manage your own medication abortion at home (Aid Access will [...]

Monthly reminder that abortions are good (in the way that all healthcare is good...doesn't mean they're fun, doesn't mean anyone wants to need them, but by god it's good to have them available when they're needed), that I and any space I have any control over is absolutely 100% pro abortion, and that anyone who has a problem with that is kindly invited to see themselves out. Quietly.⁠ The bad guys won this last round of elections, and that's going to make abortions harder to get. But that doesn't mean you give up, and that doesn't mean there's nothing you [...]

What's your plan to vote? I picked up my ballot from the town office earlier this month and dropped it off a few days later. (Did you know once you vote, most of the text messages and mailers stop? Think of it as a bonus treat for voting early!) Have you asked your friends and family if they need help making a plan to vote or researching the stuff on their ballot? Have you asked if they need a ride? (I am being an absolute pest...sorry not sorry.) And hey, do you need help figuring out how to vote? If [...]
