Seeing my brain felt like meeting my dearest Pen Pal.
Beautiful, battered, engine that could.
And plump and thick in all the right places. What an experience 👩🏼🔬🧠🖤
The power of a post.
Since this and news stories related to it have gone viral, abortion funds were informed we can’t hand out plan b at the concerts going forward.
We had cases of it ready to go and I’m just gutted we won’t be able to get it into the hands of attendees
I have so much gratitude for the light and funding Olivia’s tour is bringing to abortion funds *and* wish we could get as many resources into the hands of her fans as possible just like we do at all of our tabling events (plan b, condoms, lube, harm reduction kits)
Anyway. Just about every abortion fund in the country can connect you to free emergency contraceptives. If your local group can’t, send a signal to me and I’ll get it into your hands.
Young people having a Plan B and a few condoms in their dresser should be accepted as universally good.
We don’t have comprehensive sex Ed or accessible healthcare. AboFunds offering free EC, condoms, and pregnancy tests when we table is community care.

final thoughts then I’m muting this.
1. Abofunds know how to get EC into peoples hands. We’re not lacking ideas;we’re lacking the spaces/opportunities to do it.
2. Donating *directly* to your local or fav abortion fund has the most impact. Personally, I love

I am SO glad with how it was received. Glowing media coverage across the board + fans were so appreciative. Yall did great work; just wish we could mirror it going forward 🫶🏼
Abortion funds are more than just a pledge to a clinic to pay for your appointment.
We’re collaborators and strategists and volunteers and harm reduction advocates and big thinkers and testifiers and disrupters and a wealth of sexual wellness resources.

Not speaking for Mr. Dane but some of us are sick of white/hetero/males thinking they can best represent us when they’ve had their shot for 200+ years. Just because you fit the criteria doesn’t = qualified. Representation matters. We want women, WOC, POC, and LBGT and QUALIFIED
One of the most dangerous things a woman can do is turn a guy down. I was pushed out of a vehicle a year ago. This girl lost her life. Your mom, friend, and sister likely have stories of their own. Violence against women knows no bounds.
Standing in an abortion clinic and only saying the word abortion once after 97 seconds. All we can do is laugh or else we’ll cry.
People don’t make appointments for reproductive healthcare or womens healthcare or for reproductive rights. They make abortion appointments.

Drop by my office w/your “questions.” You’ll leave with no questions unanswered. Like I said earlier, “Twitter guts” are common…drop by to talk to me face to face and stand behind your weak attempt at taking a swipe at me. Be a man, and leave other people’s kids out of it.

Lots of offers in the Fund email rn for places to stay and I’m sure they’re all well-intentioned but we are not about to send someone to a strangers house as they travel out of state when hotels exist. Send us $200 for that instead.
Telling people to give money to existing support networks instead of offering their homes to strangers traveling for abortions isn’t gatekeeping. Only offering help in your own home on your own terms without concern for what an abortion traveler actually needs….literally is.
128 tablets arrived just in time for our spring tabling season. To kick off, we’ll be at NDSU on Thursday for the Sexpo!
Thank you for all of the boosts and info- this is incredible.
I’d like to get 100 or so doses of the morning after pill for spring & summer events. Brand doesn’t matter. How are Funds/orgs obtaining these to distribute? Partnerships with the distributor or paying for them at retail price? Please connect with me- with love from NoDak
If you know anyone who has recovered from COVID, please encourage them to go and donate their plasma at a local Vitalant. The antibodies in the plasma will be transfused and hopefully give these really sick patients a fighting chance.

On what we thought was the last ND clinic day, a judge has granted a temporary restraining order to the trigger ban that was set to take place tomorrow. Scream and cry in happy ways this time!!!!!
Your access to care should never be determined by your race, gender, income, sexuality, or area code.

If you skipped today’s event because you were wanting to march to city hall and not “celebrate”, I’d like to remind you that we are following the lead of the black community and if you want to be an ally, you need to show up.
Sending all my love and strength and patience to the people who are hundreds of miles away from their abortion appointment tomorrow.
The worst-timed blizzard is a Tuesday night for abortion seekers in North Dakota and NW Minnesota

I’m feeling….complicated….about fund a thon this year. The more I learn about mutual aid vs philanthropy/NPIC the less I want to ask my friends and family for the same $20 when one sweeping grant could to meet my fundraising goal and then some.
It was the rare ocassion that I wore mascara to work for an important meeting this afternoon. I thought it was an okay decision to pick up Simba’s ashes over my break and this was the result. Do I look more like the matchmaker from Mulan or LC? I needed a laugh and this was it
Low libido in women has historically been ignored in medicine as its causes can be vast and plenty. Bravo to these researchers who acknowledged women as sexual beings who should have this drug as an option. Not to be ignored: men have had FDA approved options for 25 years already
If you say the word “abortion” enough times, it loses its cultural stigma. Say it out loud. Say it in front of other people. Normalize the concept of women seeking healthcare and trusting them to make the right choice for themselves.
His name was Chance and I wish they would correct this story. This was a transgender boy who was bullied to the point of taking his own life. Calling Chance “Cherish” and “her” post mortem is just another dagger.
I can’t believe I’m begging this but if you are out and feel safe to approach please go stand with the lone girl in front of the women’s clinic. Surrounding businesses have all been broken into.
Color the “spacemaker” section with markers, mix my ashes with glue, and turn me into a bookmark you’ll never use. This is my last Will end test cement.
I ran into someone I worked with maybe 8 years ago. We caught up for awhile. He’s an attorney and I was on my way back to my medical research job. Life sometimes seems stagnant, but we’ve really grown up from smoking cigarettes behind the restaurant dumpster.
I want free and accessible abortions available and celebrated and liberation from the confines of a capitalist, fascist patriarchy.
All of that and, so simply, Fridays not ruined by a court decision. Saturdays not spent boxing up a shuttered clinic. Peace and time and joy for us
I had my Big Cry™️ last night thinking about my 60 year old dad working in the ER, dealing with Satan knows what. If you can’t hug the healthcare workers in your life, send them a smile and a note of kind words. The love of my life is putting his on the line.

@FargoPolice
This wavering response is dreadfully divisive and there’s no room for that in science and healthcare. The masks help. Tell people to wear them. Tell people to stay home. Back businesses enforcing the order. Why is this so difficult?

Speaking of! Our only North Dakota abortion clinic is opening a new clinic a few miles away in the politically protected state of Minnesota. Help us stay entertained (and keep abortion access!)
I drink a bunch of water right before bed so when my alarm goes off in the morning I’m not tempted to lay in bed because I have to pee so bad.

Imagine deciding to die on the hill *against* denouncing racism
GOP leadership clutching pearls over sanctimonious rules while an absolute tyrant is in the White House is so on brand. Cowards. Every. Single. One. Of. Them.

Redistribution of wealth, to me, does not mean people living on $50k donate to people living on $20k. It means that people/groups sitting on millions give us our annual operating budget because they won’t miss it and we desperately need it

The only abortion clinic in the state doing surgical abortions was damaged and possibly looted last night. Unknown if they will be able to see patients today.
We know that
@fargobrewing
stays booked and busy so why would they schedule a gig that will sell <150 tickets knowing the bad reaction people will have. It’s not a money grab so what is it? Any press is good press?
