Stephanie (she/they)

@stephruhle.bsky.social I absolutely love your vibes tonight. When you popped on my screen I yelled “OKAY STEPHANIE MF RUHLE!” Side-seated. Dressed like you could walk onto the beach and scream into the void after this panel is over. No more effs given. Done and done.

One of the students in my nursing ethics course just called me a smart cookie.

New gender inclusive signifier unlocked.

Abolish the death penalty.

Abolish borders.

Abolish Empire.

I have so, so much work to do.

And I just don’t want to do it.

But I’ve learned that doing it ironically gives me just enough dopamine to at least try. Like, “oh she hasn’t turned something in on time in years.” WATCH ME.

Texas Arrests 3rd Health Care Provider Over Alleged Abortions Midwives are “historically the first care workers to be targeted by authoritarian and coercive agents of the state,” reproductive rights leaders told Jezebel of the recent arrests.

Same.

This orange “Fuck Housework” apron from “Liberation Enterprises,” the Etsy of 1973, was about $35 in today’s dollars. It has pockets!

Less pink clothing, pink hats, and flip sign energy and more agitating with walking stick energy.

the more democrats concede to the republican war on trans people, the more that signals to the public that trans people are a problem and should be stigmatized.

My sweet spot of traditional “work” productivity is 8am-2pm with a 1hr lunch included. Outside of those hours are for reading beside the dogs, knitting w a cat on my lap, & seeing if my friends want to go on bird-listening walks.

…now applying for jobs in my third career as an elder millennial.

Hackles immediately go up when there are thanks verbalized to sex workers without sex workers IRL at the fore. Reading a bit before watching Anora, and really appreciate this piece by Marla Cruz:

Niche-ish take:

Of course there was a physician predator @ Lumon. Of course there was, because they are everywhere.

They are everywhere bc of rape culture. Bc of clinical rape culture. Both facilitate medical sexual assault. Severance = anesthesia, gaslighting, etc.

Gotta finish this PhD…

It’s an okay Monday when it starts with emails about abortion training with @reprotlc.bsky.social, finishing up edits to my @nursingclio.bsky.social book essay, and rocking crossword #1 from @fabioethics.bsky.social NNAF fundraiser These Puzzles Fund Abortion. LFG.

Losing $90 would mean choosing groceries or a cell phone bill for a lot of people. Lose $90 billion and you still get to run the government.

This is one of my favorite abortion fundraisers every year!! Love love love @fabioethics.bsky.social and adding to Chicago Abortion Fun in this way 🧩💚 #TPFA

Finally making it over here after mostly being quiet on other platforms because I needed quiet personally for a while. I’m ready to be loud and engaged again. Who are y’all’s favorite follows?

*whispers* if you’ve mentioned the Montgomery bus boycott today but haven’t given $$ to an Alabama org in the last year, maybe you could drop a little of that “don’t buy today” cash you’ve saved?

So it’s probably time to really seriously think about whether there will be elections in this country again. Because there is no way you can look at anything happening in the last 6 weeks and see this as actions of politicians who think they need the most votes ever again.

Terrifying Florida Bill Jeopardizing IVF Makes a Comeback Reproductive rights advocates say the re-introduced bill leaves doctors and fertility clinics vulnerable to costly lawsuits and women vulnerable to legal retaliation from abusive partners.

IVF became a flashpoint in natl politics last yr after Alabama ruled frozen embryos are extrauterine children. Facing backlash, a FL bill to recognize embryos under the state's wrongful death statute—threatening IVF, abortion providers & legal harassment from abusers—was withdrawn.

Now it's back.

Tomorrow!

Decolonizing also means being able to imagine life outside of oppression.

LGBTQ federal workers brace for a McCarthyist purge "They’re not asking people ‘Are you gay? Are you lesbian?’ They’re asking, ‘Who is participating in DEI?'"

LGBTQ federal workers say they're terrified they're about to be fired for their gender identity, sexual orientation, or past efforts to support other queer and trans employees—in other words, a second Lavender Scare.

@ykhong.bsky.social do you know of any others permanently banned from LinkedIn even though biometric data collection is still offered as re-entry?

My @linkedin.com was recently “restricted.” I contacted support bc I declined the biometric collection option & I was informed my restriction is permanent & they cannot tell me why due to their Privacy Policy. My only guess is my abortion work? Any others in #abortioncare get kicked off LI?
