Porn sites should put up an interstitial telling folks to vote before they can view 🤣

Lemme give you some hopium from the trenches in NC. Source: I am the elected chair of my precinct in a purple NC county. We are seeing volunteers signing up and turning out on the ground in numbers not seen since 2008. My precinct was not organized for the past few years. In 2022 there was 6% voter outreach. As of today, we’ve achieved 83% and our county chair sent a shout out yesterday to say a lot of others are keeping pace. Tricia Cotham’s little maneuver really pissed a lot of folks off. Not to mention Mark Robinson is a lunatic. If you want to get connected to write postcards or knock doors, hmu!

My 5yo has discovered minecraft. Do I want to listen to 12 straight minutes of wolf variants? No I do not. But I listen politely because he’s sharing something that’s important to him and that bond is precious to me. Vance is shit and my heart hurts for this little who’s learning that’s how people who love you talk to you

I straight up walked out of a date once bc someone tried to hide voting for trump

Big facts. My friend is an ob/gyn. We’re in NC, on paper we don’t have a total ban but in practice it amounts to one. He’s currently commuting to VA to work because he doesn’t want to get sued, prosecuted, or watch patients almost die before he can treat them. shakes head

pops a lactaid you sonofabitch, I’m in

‘EXEMPT’. there’s no cap on salaried employees

My 5yo approves this message

The fact that you call them ‘females’ might suggest they wouldn’t discuss it around you. I can assure you the women in my circles are worried sick

If he brings his gun in the bathroom does he ever sanitize it? 🤔

Planned parenthood does them cheap! Source, my ex in a red state got his done at Planned parenthood

You are a warrior my friend 🧡

I did try, they were like ‘we don’t have anything here’ and then it was down to ‘soo do you want to keep this appointment or try again next month?’ And I had a sitter with the kid and had taken off work so I sucked it up. Like they always expect you to. The next time I went so far as to talk to another Dr in the practice but I kept being told over and over it wasn’t done and isn’t necessary. Definitely check out the podcast ‘the retrievals’ to learn more about how women’s pain is treated in ob/gyn

Personally I’ve had numerous cervical biopsies (as in they cut chunks out of you with the devil’s scissors) and the standard of care is no numbing agent or pain medication of any kind. The dr said to give a yell if I was going to faint bc that happens a lot. I asked why I couldn’t have something and they were like, ‘dunno. We just don’t do that’

There was a documented case of a nurse stealing pain medication and injecting women with saline to cover for it and it took years for her to be caught because no one believed the women who said they were in pain. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/podcasts/serial-the-retrievals-yale-fertility-clinic.html&ved=2ahUKEwi1n93Yip2FAxWONlkFHStzA7wQFnoECAUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw23_e6wsBLQ7jybQBvuJOvI

He’s got nice legs, tho

Take the plane!!

I’m sorry friend. We are going to wallop him with votes this fall. I’ve been creeped out many a time by a republican man but never by a trans woman in the bathroom

I’m sorry she deals with that. I don’t get nightmares but I have trouble with concerts or seating anywhere in rows as a panic attack trigger 😅
