Out today! An essential new book of writing about abortion before Roe-- edited and introduced by @kweingarten.bsky.social, foreword by @rtraister.bsky.social and afterword by @renee.bsky.social

A great discussion of a life-changer of a book!

Hello!

Officially out tomorrow!

alt text didn't save! 16mm b&w performance footage: pairs of people stand side by side and, grabbing one another's arms or a small piece or rope, lean away from each other and try to walk around cobblestoned Wooster St. Forward motion can be achieved only through contrapuntal balance.

Thank you for reading-- I loved writing this one!
