Have you read @gretchensisson.bsky.social's paradigm-shifting book on adoption?

I did, and it changed how I think about adoption for good.

This is your last shot to get a hardcover of the book before it comes out in paperback!

Extremely proud of my former coworkers as they continue to advocate for the pay and respect they deserve
Since we last shared an update on bargaining, we’ve received additional information about management salaries at Rewire.

The TLDR: The pay discrepancy between management and union members is deeply unsettling.

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

Despite Trump's claims, data shows that right-wing extremists are far more violent than those on the left.

And the origins of today's far-right insurrectionism lie in the anti-abortion movement.

UPDATE AGAIN: After getting turned away at the first CVS, I was able to get my Covid shot at a different CVS in Boston.

So it seems…widespread confusion! But shots are indeed happening in MA. I recommend calling the pharmacy first.

I deleted my original post on Covid shots in MA because I didn’t want to spread misinformation.

I was able to book a Covid vaccine appt at CVS in Boston this morning but when I got there they said they couldn’t give me the shot.
UPDATE: Despite letting me make an appointment online, the pharmacist at CVS just informed me that they are NOT offering Covid shots in MA rn.

Get it together, Massachusetts!

"The reality remains that under patriarchy and under rape culture and under abortion bans, all survivors and all abortion seekers are dehumanized and denied agency by their abuser or by the state," Kylie Cheung tells @amylittlefield.bsky.social in a new Q&A.
A New Era of Reproductive Coercion: A Conversation With Kylie Cheung
The author’s new book explores how the Dobbs decision “created new avenues through which the state and abusive figures can collaboratively punish and control their victims.”

New research shows Idaho lost one in three obstetricians after its abortion ban took effect

About half of those OBs left the state—and none moved to states with abortion bans, the lead author says.

More evidence that abortion bans impact other forms of health care. New @motherjones.com:
