don't stress out if you can't get the job you want in politics. go get the job that will pay you now.

having a non-linear career path from field organizing > tech > fundraising > tech > digital > digital organizing has served me so well you don't even know

Instagram has suppressed abortion content from Aid Access and pulled down Hey Jane ads. These are some of the most important medication abortion providers in the country.

This is shocking but it isn’t new. Follow these accounts to stay up-to-date on abortion news and research ⬇️

I want you all to know that inundating you with bad news/unfathomable news is a war tactic. It’s meant to overwhelm you so that you are too overwhelmed to resist. It’s right up there with sleep deprivation as a war tactic. Please know that.

This is what I do know chat: you have to tend to your nervous system like it's a garden.

You can't expect it to look after itself; if we were in ideal conditions, yes, but buddy we are NOT.

The soil needs feeding, weird thorns creep in, our tenderest things are vulnerable

@ANSIRH Love this journey for you!

offering this in case it’s useful to anyone: when I’m especially scared, it helps me to remind myself that probably all of my women ancestors had harder lives than I’ve had. & their strength is in me, is part of the fabric of who I am & what I can perhaps do

[Louis Staples @LouisStaples]

Strangely, it's moments like this that I feel most lucky to be queer. I think about our elders. How hopeless they must have felt. How easy it would have been to give up. But they fought for the life I get to live today. What an insult it would be, to them, to succumb to despair

all im gonna say is americans need to abandon american individualism. and im saying this with love too, you need community to survive this. support each other. all minority struggles are interconnected

Rage donate to a local abortion fund
Stress donate to a local abortion fund
Grief donate to a local abortion fund

[Renee Bracey Sherman @RBraceySherman]

I went to bed and woke up to this. The only way out of this is to deal with the anti-Blackness, misogyny, and love of violence in this nation. In the meantime, donate to your local abortion fund and show up for your loved ones who have abortions.

and now the only thing to do is to entangle ourselves so deeply in community to keep each other safe.

this is the part where we do it (all of it, resourcing, caregiving, protecting) for each other.

[Garnet Henderson garnethenderson.com on Bluesky @garnethenderson]

So many reporters who've never had to cover abortion access before are doing it now. Abortion shows up on a health-care beat, a politics beat, a religion beat, a social movements beat, a crime beat, in local news, and on and on and on. This was always true but now it's exploding.

[ANSIRH @ANSIRH]

“When a lot of people hear ‘adoption,’ they think of it as a positive thing. They hear that children need families, and they don't really know much more than that,” shares @gesisson.

For many birth parents, adoption is the heartbreaking result of poverty. [a thread 🧵]
