A new study found that miscarriage patients in states with abortion bans have fewer treatment options, as providers shift away from mifepristone—the subject of many legal battles—and opt for misoprostol-only approaches, which is less effective. This story was originally published by @stateline.org.

i am consistently blown away by the props and sets dropout's art team build

body horror: concrete where forests used to be waterways redlined from the ocean the scars of drills on mountains

mines and the places humans dump waste is Earth, gored

gonna start telling people i'm an apparition when they ask if my name is real

turned out to be very difficult to find a water and plastic free lotion without a ton of essential oils in it

the sacred bond between animal and plant

seeking the cure for despair by learning from Nature

18th year of my mctd diagnosis and it's still weird and bad but at least doctors mostly have heard of it by now

Oh hey, they're still abducting people in Minnesota. Still putting them on planes to god knows where. Still holding many of our neighbors prisoner. Some folks are still in hiding or have come out of it but are way behind on rent etc. Much help is still needed. Appreciate everyone pitching in.

You've got something on your beak there, bud 🪶📷

i did not anticipate the clarity of thought and memory i'd get back after moving somewhere safe (physically & mentally)

Sadly, my mom passed away on sunday. I’m heartbroken, shocked and in pain not being able to process this situation. Pls, if u read this, help us, my mom deserves at least a decent funeral. I feel like a failure, I feel like I was not able to save her life. I’m so sorry mom. I’m really sorry

we burn up, spill, throw away the processed remains of our ancestors and lost cousins like it's nothing

i often get mistaken for being <25 and wow the amount of times people have been gross or patronizing toward me until they find out i'm older. i see why the kids be making fun of yall

I appreciated reading this. People are in motion, everywhere. open.substack.com/pub/workingc...

i believe in the open internet cuz i think humans need ways to communicate that transcend borders like how trees need mycelia

how wonderful to be an animal and know it to love Earth and be loved back to be a child and student of a planet of miracles

finally saw some chimney swifts after only hearing them for a long while :^)

i love black squirrels and it's kind of cool to see a species evolve in your lifetime

interesting when people choose to pretend the electoral college doesn't exist
