“Ticking Time Bomb”: A Pregnant Mother Kept Getting Sicker. She Died After She Couldn’t Get an Abortion in Texas. Walker is one of several women ProPublica found with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman.

Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often.

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

And now the car is dead, too. Guess I won't be getting my kidneys checked or the blood tests I need after all.

Yeah, maybe don't compare your experience of medically supervised ketamine at a pain clinic to the experience of someone who has been slipped the drug non-consensually.

Learn when something is not about you. Learn when to shut your mouth. It's a valuable skill.

Oh my heart. I never go on NextDoor, but I clicked something today and there was a photo of the kitty we had taken in for a few weeks & would have adopted if a person hadn't come to get her ... "home safe" the caption says. <3

Seeing that kitty again made me miss her!

This is genocidal as shit and declaring our Muslims neighbors entire existence as criminal and to be “removed”.

A panel of judges in Texas has blocked the implementation of Texas' new Congressional maps, indicating that they appear to be an illegal race-based gerrymander.

The maps were drawn at the request of President Trump to add 5 more Republican votes in Congress to implement his extreme agenda.

Disability education should not be put into HHS because it's not a health issue, it's an education issue. The idea that disability = health is dehumanizing and, frankly, simply wrong.

I've noticed people always want to leave out the trafficking and CSAM parts from my story, too, and mmmm those happened.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.

Phang: It is a fundamental premise of the law that there is no requirement that a criminal defendant be forced to testify to explain away the government’s evidence. Hallagan went to law school and knows better, but she’s so stupid that she made that misstatement of the law to the grand jury.

Yes and writers, too.

Annnd another victim of the hypnotist has reached out to me.

I am working on two things related to this -- I am exhausted tbh.

He told one if he did not do what he wanted, the LDS Church would hunt him down and bury him in the desert. Drugged him. Did other gross things you can imagine.

More on all this, but the SLCPD knew for YEARS and let this shit keep going on. Utah DOPL, too.

He fucking went out and hunted for victims to lure to his "therapy practice." Gave them his card, promised to train them in hypnotherapy (he tried to lure me into that and into being a member of his cult church and more).

I received more police reports about that hypnotherapist who assaulted me and I am so done with the SLCPD and EVERYONE letting this predator get away with it. Writing a little something just so I can tag them on socials and go to the media in SLC as well.

Will call and cancel the ECHO when they open. No donations. Your trans disabled friends are dying. I just can't pay that and this and the insurance premium and everything else. What little extra I had earlier I spent on matching donations for SNAP recipients. Also will be without heart & other meds.

I tried to talk about my work and advocacy but it turned into non-consensual advice, so please no advice, but I am a working artist ... You can find some of my work here:

ECHO was scheduled for today. I would have to cancel as soon as they open but I hope to raise some funds instead because an aortic aneurysm with cEDS is dangerous and it needs to be monitored every year!

This has not budged a bit.

I gave myself a jump scare! I forwarded myself a twelve-year-old email exchange with my mother so I could find it tomorrow to use in something I am writing. Annnnnd then I forgot I forwarded it, so it looked like a new message from mom, who has been dead for a few months now.

I am nervous for Friday when I find out if the macrocytic anemia has indeed improved with my B12 injections. But also re-checking kidney function was Not Good previously.
