Buckle up, fam! So excited to say that I’m working with @splitlippress.bsky.social on a collection of feminist comics to release in October of 2025! ✏️🤬

My essay on trauma and gun violence was featured in Substack Reads today! 🎉 if these kind words from guest editor Katherine May persuade you, you can read it here: aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/over-and-o...

Truly a banner day for this particular SCOTUS, who seem intent on ruining literally everything.

Thank god that’s over.

Both candidates taking a question about affordable childcare and ignoring it to have a dick-measuring contest about who’s the best president is the most USA shit ever.

Is it too late for me to run?

This is just painful to watch. It’s taking years off my life.

For @vox.com, I wrote about the special terror of traveling to a red state in early pregnancy and why bans on reproductive healthcare anywhere hurt people everywhere. www.vox.com/life/356448/...

I’m pregnant. I’m traveling. I’m terrified.www.vox.com My family reunion is in South Carolina. Essential care for my high-risk pregnancy is not.

At long last, a small win for abortion rights. www.cnn.com/2024/06/13/p....

Quite possibly the best sports thread ever.

It’s June 4, 2024, and today is the 50th anniversary of one of the most important days in Cleveland history. TEN CENT BEER NIGHT. If you don’t know about Ten Cent Beer Night, please please please read this. This is my first thread. It will be long, but it will absolutely 100% be worth it.

Check out this incredible thread on Cleveland’s first Ten Cent Beer Night. Click through to this last post and scroll up and you’ll see the whole thread.

Cleveland held a second Ten Cent Beer Night promotion later that summer, and this time had a two-beer limit. #NeverForget THE END! (Did it work? Did it thread?)

How do I make a thread on here? If I just reply to my own post will it be a thread? I have something very long and VERY IMPORTANT to say.

Jury was motivated to wrap this trial up Thursday so they can use Friday to negotiate their book deals.

Omg VERDICT! Family group chat is LIT

Today in GRAPHIC RAGE I’m sharing some tales from the trenches of yelling back at street harassers: the good, the ugly, and the very very embarrassing. aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/clapping-b...

Clapping Back at Street Harassersaubreyhirsch.substack.com some tales from the trenches

idk about you but I’d rather be called a cunt than be forced to carry a pregnancy against my will

Some real bangers in here

The cruelty is the point!

Breaking News: A Virginia school board voted to restore the names of Confederate officers to two schools, four years after they were dropped.

Schools in One Virginia County to Reinstate Confederate Nameswww.nytimes.com The school board voted on Friday to reverse a decision made four years ago, when the killing of George Floyd prompted nationwide demands for a racial reckoning, to rename the schools.

For The Audacity, I wrote about no-fault divorce, the right-wing campaign against it, and why it's worth fighting for! audacity.substack.com/p/the-fight-...

The Fight For No Fault Divorceaudacity.substack.com Writing that boldly disregards normal restraints.

New on my substack today, a comic about learning to take the power back at the doctor's office! aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/the-imperf...

The Imperfect Patientaubreyhirsch.substack.com how I stopped giving a shit at the doctor’s office

I think my favorite moment from today's SCOTUS oral arguments was when Idaho's lawyer said "There's no caselaw showing ETMALA supersedes state law" and yeah my guy that's because STATES DON'T LEGISLATE AGAINST LIVE-SAVING CARE FOR ANYONE BUT PREGNANT PEOPLE I feel like I'm losing my mind

That was some buuuuuuuuuuullshit.

Does....Alito think you can provide medical care to a 10-week fetus and it will survive even if the pregnant person carrying that fetus dies...cuz...????

Today on Substack, a comic about forever chemicals, vanishing sperm counts, and perhaps the most important reproductive justice issue of our time. aubreyhirsch.substack.com/p/spermageddon
