So many people in the queer community and especially trans people have been some of the most inspiring role models in my life. They go through life living their truth, not hiding who they are and trying to help others. I think that's how we should all aspire to live.

KY lawmakers just dropped a bill to "clarify" when doctors can save lives under their abortion ban—joining the “Shit, Our Law is Killing People” cleanup crew. Nice try, but this won’t fix the mess THEY made. Bans can’t be “fixed”—they need to be ripped up and tossed into the sun. buff.ly/CaqoYH6

"That means that we believe the idea of taking taxpayer money intended for a public school & sending it off with a student to support a private school is wrong & will be detrimental to the future of Mississippians and our state’s economy," Jones writes.

Fun to see millennials start behaving like boomers because they're scared of AI. Technology has never been the problem. The problem is always humans using technology for nefarious purposes. Maybe someday evolution will lead to a motivation for education instead of fear-induced mob mentality.

Religion was fabricated to control the masses and answer questions for which they had no answers.
Now it’s simply a justification for hatred, division, and violence.

She served the US & the US almost killed her. Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was denied military insurance coverage for an emergency abortion to treat her miscarriage—her fetus had no heartbeat & she qualified. Tricare held out while she bled out. She made it, not everyone will. https://buff.ly/4isZ97z

My friend @ruthlessfilms.bsky.social directed this documentary about abortion rights and the clinics and organizers on the front lines. Caught it in a packed film festival house in Chicago, now you can watch at home!
@nooneaskedudoc.bsky.social, the critically-acclaimed documentary from Ruth Leitman, turns apathy into action by showing the world what happens when each one of us lends their voices to a common cause.
Need an inspiration infusion? Watch it tonight, only on Jolt. on.jolt.film/4iLuJO2

WWMCD (what would Mariah Carey do)? Help us celebrate the iconic divas of abortion care! Abortion providers ALWAYS show up. Buy them essential items they need directly off their wishlists for their clinics, making sure they feel the love & making their holiday season glitter✨ https://buff.ly/3ZNk3nK

Look, many co-opt Carlin to make their points. He was... layered.
But too many think he was solely about the right to say seven dirty words as opposed to fighting those using their powers to oppress.
This clip is frustratingly relevant for these "unprecedented times."

This Thanksgiving, the table debates might get a little spicier. While you’re prepping your hot side dishes, don’t forget to arm yourself with cold, hard facts about abortion to shut down any steaming piles of misinformation. This year, we’re not just carving the turkey, we’re cutting through the BS

Arizona did the damn thing & voted for an amendment to protect abortion rights. But restoring abortion access in AZ is an all-hands-on-deck movement. The incredible folks at #abortionfundofarizona are looking for activists like YOU! Fill out a volunteer application today! https://buff.ly/3Orel7f
