Women of African Descent for Reproductive Justice coined "Reproductive Justice" in 1994 after the women's rights movement—led by white, wealthy women—routinely failed to address the needs of multiply marginalized people. A reminder: RJ is intersectional & goes beyond abortion or choice frameworks.

in america, if you go over your 3 minute allotment to speak, men with guns come to take you away.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

On Death (2025) - Ecstatic unbecoming: earth-warmed patchouli, sweet myrrh, terebinth, galbanum, gurjum balsam, and black amber. #SOTD #BPAL EYE think this blend is gorgeous even as other folks are claiming it is stinky. If you are on board with terebinth and galbanum tho don't miss this!

Our healthcare system is broken. I spend countless hours fighting insurers for medications patients need—denied, appealed, denied again. If insurance companies want to make medical decisions, they should also carry the liability when patients are harmed. We all deserve better

One day I will find the perfume that fixes me 🕯️

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Our annual Day of Remembrance rally outside the Northwest Detention Center will be on Feb 21 at 1pm. For years, Japanese Americans have been saying Abolish ICE, no more U.S. concentration camps, and let no politician give empty platitudes on DOR while imprisoning and deporting our neighbors

this is awful of course but i also really want to lift up the fact that by "abortion pills" this post means mifepristone, and medication abortions do not necessarily require mifepristone (there is a safe & effective misoprostol-only protocol)

🌘 "Starchild" 🌟 Commission for @franzanth.bsky.social & at last another of my Golden Orbits.

whatever there is to say about what’s getting thrown in the bucket called AI, I can’t get past how it has been forced on us, breaking things that work. And given the state of things, I need tools that work. There’s no time to waste on something that maybe might work (enrich someone else, poison us).

Love how colon cancer keeps killing people under 50 and yet insurance doesn't cover colonoscopy without cost-sharing until age 45. I just paid $1,584 out of pocket for mine thanks to my deductible and copays
