Try to get stuff that *doesn't* need to be mixed with something (like milk, butter, etc) in case they don't have that.
Donate spices!!
Lots of folks donate beans, pasta, etc. A variety is good.

Don’t worry…there’s screenshots.
Speaking of trans people and swing states...were you too busy shitting on dems to notice what was actually happening in them?
I kept wondering why l was seeing all those hateful ads when I was home in Chicago but then my aunt reminded me of an important fact.

Experts say this late realization is rooted in what’s known as compulsory heterosexuality: a cultural and religious pressure that makes straightness feel not just normal, but mandatory.
After years of repression, conservative Christian lesbians are coming out
When raised in environments that promote compulsory heterosexuality and patriarchy, how do lesbian women unravel what they want and who they are?

When you triage as many cases as as we & @projectex.me do through our joint Community Care initiative, you understand how many lives are saved & helped through simple access to reproductive healthcare like this. This helps communities and reduces trauma for DV survivors. Forced labor has a name. 💁🏾
I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own.
Now, we continue fulfilling that promise.
Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.
