β€œTicking 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.

"For the sake of her 14-year-old son, JJ, she needed to ask her doctor for an abortion to protect her health. [...] More than 90 doctors were involved in Walker’s care, but not one offered her the option to end her pregnancy, according to medical records."

Blue book exam - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_bo...

back in my day, the university provided students w/ blue books for our in-person exams. but i was just informed that my students will have to buy theirs at the university bookstore... which seems really bizarre to me!

There are going to be more stories like this than we will ever hear about. Each person deserved the world, and we let them die.

i have discerned that "Lizza" is not a nickname for Olivia Nuzzi but rather an entirely separate person, but otherwise i've managed to avoid learning much more than that. thx 4 your support
