I really can’t emphasize enough how much I don’t care if the anecdotes people tell on here are true. We are sitting around a campfire telling tall tales, embellishments and flights of fancy are part of the fun
When the man at the bait shop tells you he almost caught a bass thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig you don’t write a callout post accusing him of gaslighting
if tumblr users found out about the simple concept of “different people have different boundaries about media and that’s normal” their brains would explode
things that make you uncomfortable don’t necessarily make other people uncomfortable and vice versa. also things don’t have to be objectively morally wrong to make you uncomfortable and in fact thinking you HAVE to always be morally justified about not liking something is not healthy.
Anyway pointing out how overturning roe will disproportionately affect people of color especially black people does not hurt the cause of feminism or class consciousness or whatever. It is fine & normal & necessary actually to point out how abortion access is often determined by your zip code or your income or your health insurance & how these issues intersect with systemic racism. Use your brains please
Incredibly fucking crucial information for Americans where period tracking digitally is concerned: DELETE YOUR DATA, DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT AND DELETE YOUR APPS
the best thing that we can do right now to fight for abortion rights is donating to your local abortion fund, especially in states with “trigger laws” or laws that will immediately take harsh measures to shut down abortion rights as soon as roe is overturned. If you don’t know your local abortion fund or states with trigger laws, here’s one in Texas, one in Louisiana, one in Georgia, one in West Virginia and one in Mississippi (all states with such “trigger laws”). There’s so many more beyond the handful i just listed here but times like these are the time to donate and support the incredible work that these organizations do for their communities.

LITERALLY WHY NOT. WHO CARES. WHO THE FUCK CARES
Please note that it wasn’t “quickly”, we’ve been protesting for reproductive rights since decades ago. It took us a lot of work, sweat blood and tears to be where we are today.
A year and a half ago you would be persecuted if you got an abortion outside the few states that had decriminalized it. The cheapest, most available alternatives are: té de ruda (a plant that causes irritation to the gastric membrane and to the kidneys and a risky drug that can cause hemorrhages.
The protest shown here (8 de Marzo 2021) wasn’t just to fight for our reproductive rights, but to protest the femicide epidemic here (11 women a day on average) and the sexist society this country has mantained for centuries.
It really didn’t take a genius to work out that attacks on trans healthcare and lgbt protections in general would only be followed by attacks on reproductive rights lol
Like all the cis women who allied with the right wing to take down trans people because we are supposedly a threat to their rights are gonna have a shock when their new allies actually rollback their rights when they are done with us and its kinda happening in real time
