The “free IVF” thing was pretty obviously pretend, and I honestly don’t understand why anyone fell for it. In practice Trump has only ever taken negative measures for women’s reproductive health and fertility—this wasn’t going to suddenly change

Oh no, so sorry 💙

It’s okay to prevent cancer in wealthy white men or their families. Otherwise it’s woke

“Streisand Effect” in NYT, WaPo, Boston Globe, LA Times ..

I feel seen

Sometimes I think of how only two generations of us were even allowed to attend these settler colonial ass universities in tiny, awkward handfuls, and how even that was too much

What’s Being Lost in the Documentary Space As Congress Defunds Public Media "We may have lost our funding, but unlike Congress, we have not lost our way," writes ITVS boss Carrie Lozano as she assesses a less vibrant documentary landscape without the $9 million her organizati...

"PBS is the foremost distributor of independent documentary, featuring stories and storytellers that don’t meet the interests or priorities of commercial media like the big studios and streamers."

Public media is really special. Shame, shame, shame on this regime and its campaign to make everyone scared, obedient, and stupid. They are stealing from all of us and from our futures. Despicable.

Just tragic. I grew up as a PBS-only kid (yes, I know), so this is like the sponsor for my entire childhood media diet

On average, the party not in control of the White House gains 6 points from this point in the midterm cycle to Election Day (next Nov). Sometimes they gain more (11 points in 2009-2010!), sometimes less (2018 — started high).

‘“Making things here and exporting them isn’t really feasible as long as these tariffs are in place,” he added.’

Unless you’ve already decided that guy won’t win the election and want to make sure this guy doesn’t either

This is all leaving aside the question of whether a woman or girl might want or need an abortion—say she just wants to have some healthy kids without suffering illness/injury/death herself. This is not a setup conducive to that

Having very few obstetricians to pick from, in an enormous rural state, means that you not only have fewer options as you navigate the challenges of pregnancy (for you and baby) but prob also have less, worse, and more faraway care

Extremely risky place to live for these doctors and anyone who wants to bear children. There are more OBGYNs than in the whole state of Idaho not only in New York City, but at the *single hospital* where I had my first baby

Ann Hornaday?? Wow

Coal. Leeches. Hot air balloons. The feudal system. THE HOTTEST LADIES IN TOWN

Hey, the common loon called. Yeah, it was hauntingly beautiful

Imagine building a golden conference center to try to distract from your association with a child sex trafficker

My statement on the Senate votes to block arms sales to Israel. (1/5)

“The president cut your health care so he could build himself a golden ballroom” is a pretty easy message to sell

Motherfucking wind farms…

Let me tell you, people were REALLY excited

Haaaa to the date here. Hmmm, what happened on Nov 7 2020 and why are all my photos and videos from that day of a giant spontaneous citywide dance party in DC

DC too. This thing is big!

'The Naked Gun,' a dazzling documentary, and more in theaters this week Liam Neeson plays the detective Frank Drebin, Jr. in a Naked Gun reboot that piles on the jokes. Meanwhile, a stunning documentary explores the history of stone and cement in architecture.

I don't want to get into the whole Oxford comma thing, but I first read this headline as having an appositional explanatory phrase in the middle...and my first reaction was, "Well, no...it's not..."

It’s low down my list of stresses for now — we are lucky while other people are already getting pulled out their broken car windows by masked enforcers

Heh. This is actually an easy-to-picture scene, hazmat suits and all

I mean, a hollyhock nastygram to one of America’s greatest playwrights IS kind of hilarious, on some level
