Three weeks ago, I had a miscarriage. I was six weeks pregnant. I live in Texas, a state that has effectively banned abortions.
A thread about what it is to cease to be pregnant in a state where abortions are banned:
🚨Big Shoutout to Colts Neck coach Jim Schlentz, who served as the Honorary Referee at the Penn Relays!!🚨

No doubt you’ll all want to give me your hot take😉 but if you agree that men and women should be running the same distance in NCAA XC take a moment to sign this petition. If you disagree you don’t have to tell me why. Just don’t sign it. 🤷🏼♀️ #RunEqual2023 https://t.co/8dZ2xTaAXz

Imagine winning 6 Olympic medals, fighting to make sure no one else is sexually abused like you were, literally inventing new skills in your sport (some of which if you misstep you could end up paralyzed)- and having a bunch of keyboard warriors call you weak. 🤔
For my non-Texans, it’s hard to convey how f’d our state is. It’s barely broken freezing since Sunday. Half of Austin has been almost entirely w/out heat or power for 2.5 days. Water pressure is dropping and there’s a boil notice but half the city has no power to boil. Thread🧵⤵️
