Abortion Fund Leaders Have A Stark Warning For Allwww.huffpost.com After the overturn of Roe v. Wade, donations flowed to abortion funds, but over time the money has dried up -- endangering care for people across the country.

Listening to @overduepod.bsky.social and suddenly wanting to yell in the grocery store because SOME OF US ARE NATIONALS FANS, @mcgetting.bsky.social. Some of us are Jews from DC who now live in NYC and root for the Nats! I know … one besides me. And he’s my cousin.

I ran into a friend on my way home from happy hour and she asked about my debate watching plans. I laughed. I was never going to watch the debate and I am especially not going to after three rounds of $6 happy hour sangria.

Compare the splashy $100 million spend to the $20 million abortion funds spent from July 2021 to June 2022 to make sure real people get the abortions they seek, and they usually don't cover the full cost that a caller faces nor help every caller in need.

In which I ask, among other things, why spend $100M on a “bold public awareness campaign” to increase abortion access when abortion funds are barely scraping by?

$100 Million for Abortion Rights—With a Lot of Questionsnewrepublic.com Abortion Access Now launched this week to much fanfare. But it's not clear how their proposals differ from what's already out there.

Yes to all of this. Related, as I wrote earlier this week, we should be considering ways to provide foundational financial stability to the vast network doing the intense work to get thousands of women to abortions. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

More Women Are Traveling for Abortion. Fund It.www.bloomberg.com Two years post-Dobbs, too many nonprofits still rely on volunteers and bake sales to underpin their efforts. Lawmakers and philanthropists need to step up.

I think that Amtrak might be overcompensating for the weather outside by attempting to freeze me on this train.

Gotta focus on this right now, when I’m unemployed and searching for what’s next.

If there were one piece of advice which I would give to a young person that I think is applicable to every career (and other parts of life) it would be: You have to say what you want, out loud. No one can see inside your head. If you want to do a job or get into an area, you need to say so.

I spent summers without AC in the 2000s. I was also at a camp in the Poconos, got in a pool or lake twice a day most days, and had few 90+ days all summer. I don’t get why people don’t see the difference between that and my 2024 NYC apartment. And my old camp might need more AC’ed space nowadays!

No, I am not making up our cultural tendency towards air conditioning shaming. Here’s a perfect example of the type of smug Northeastern/Atlantic argument I’ve been seeing for a very long time, published in the Washington Post:

I don’t need air conditioning, and neither do youwww.washingtonpost.com Turn off the AC and reap the benefits. Yes, even in this heat.

it's hard to explain how racist jamaal bowman's primary challenger is and how little coverage that fact has received despite the fact that he's spent more than any primary candidate IN HISTORY

Thank goodness for a best friend who hears me complain about how I feel like I’m not doing enough and reminds me that unemployment sucks and I am doing so so much already.

Love when the internet is back at complaining about that one woman I had classes with in college who has terrible opinions and gets paid to write about them.

[the tune of Eleanor Rigby] 🎵Governor Hochul Chose to pull out and piss off everyone in her state What a mistake Why did she do that Making a shortfall for MTA changes and more Who was that for?🎵

It's worth paying attention to what Liz Kruger, the chair of the NYS Senate Finance Committee, has been saying. She's offered perhaps the most thorough evisceration of Hochul's decision of any elected official. Full text, 'cause it doesn't all fit in the alt: www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/pre...

I have never seen politicians in Albany look this pissed off at a press conference. Including every face in the background. The proposed payroll tax is what the governor wants to substitute for revenue from congestion pricing. I'm calling it: Hochul will back down. link: x.com/bern_hogan/s...

I think that 50% of why I keep going to a dentist that isn’t near home or the office is so that I have an excuse to work from cute coffee shops in the Village after my appointments.

NEW: The Arkansas AG sent a cease and desist letter to a New York abortion clinic for "advertising" abortion pills to Arkansans—but it doesn't even mail pills to NYers, let alone to people in ban states. The letter appears based on SEO-optimized pages informing people they can travel to NY

I've been screaming about this "except in cases of rape or incest" bullshit for 20 years. THE NEXT QUESTIONS should have always been, "Oh, is it easy to legally prove you were raped?" "Within 6 weeks?" and "Can child victims of sexual abuse seek medical treatment without their abuser?"

The exceptions for abortions in states with bans are meaningless. People don’t understand them, they are too hard to get, and physicians are too afraid to perform the abortion. In MS no-one helped a 13 year old rape victim get an abortion she was legally entitled to. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/13-ye...

On the one hand: god, I’m so tired of the NYT writing about college students above all others re: Israel/Palestine. And yet - this article has some surprisingly nuanced examples? And a conclusion that I full agree with?

On Campus, a New Social Litmus Test: Zionist or Not?www.nytimes.com Some Jewish students say they’ve been dropped by old roommates and sorority sisters and ostracized from campus clubs and teams because of their views — which are sometimes assumed.

It's been a long time since I've taken actual Sudafed (pseudoephedrine, not phenylephrine) and apparently it messes with my brain a LOT more than it used to! This is Not Great for my ability to focus and I really do not like what it's doing to my anxiety.

To put this in perspective, there are 2 OB-GYN residency programs in the state with +/- 30 residents total last year. This year there will be fewer than 25. There are only 120 ob-gyns working in AL currently. It's a state of 5.25M people.

if you need to be bribed into funding abortion with cute swag, the New York Abortion Access Fund has got you covered (and then we can match! 👯)

My Saturday night in a nutshell: one screen for John Oliver, one for the Magic United vote count (Disneyland Characters and Parades cast members organizing with @actorsequity.bsky.social). Follow the unofficial vote count with me: bit.ly/DisneylandVote

I have a nasty terrible cold right now, and all I want to do is complain about how much it sucks to be producing this much snot.

It’s that time of year when I walk in my front door and immediately get in the shower to wash off the pollen. Ugh.

Another way to think about this is that every day ChatGPT uses a typical US family’s electrical consumption for 65 _years_. That’s the better part of a lifetime and they’re doing it to make computers less reliable.

I knew this, but holy shit anyway.
