@wendinoakland Damn straight. You either consider us human beings or you don’t. @JasonPerseus

“… the excerpt tape is a mere fraction of some ‘100 hours of Epstein talking about the inner workings of the Trump White House & about his longstanding, deep relationship w/ Donald Trump.’”

Don’t you wish any of it made a difference to his supporters? It should, but it doesn’t—because Trump voters are as depraved, as degenerate, as immoral as he is. #VoteBlue2024

I’m going to start this #OurAbortionStories 🧵 by sharing that despite always using contraception, I’ve been pregnant 3 times. I have a son (the Pill); I’ve had an #abortion (the Sponge+spermicide jelly); & I’ve had a miscarriage (tubal ligation). If the miscarriage hadn’t ended my 3rd pregnancy, I’d have had a 2nd abortion. If I hadn’t had access to a legal abortion, I’d have had an illegal one. & if I hadn’t had access to that, I’d have committed svicid3. W/O even the slightest hesitation. +

Pregnancy makes me super sick (hyperemesis gravidarum, hypotension, & more); bearing my son was a waking nightmare—I labored 36 hrs & his birth almost killed my bony butt; & while I adore my son & have always loved being his mom, I did NOT want more children. EVER. Furthermore, at the time of my #abortion, I was battling my toddler son’s father for a divorce; in my 1st yr of college; & working a couple of jobs. I’d been trying to find an OB/GYN willing to “tie” my tubes for 2 yrs. +

I couldn’t afford a pregnancy (much less another child), nor was there any way I could physically handle pregnancy or childbirth.

But most importantly, I didn’t WANT to.

& no one—including me, including you—should be forced to grow & bear unwanted babies.
No one.
NO ONE.
EVER.
Bodily autonomy is a fundamental human right. Period, end of conversation. /end #OurAbortionStories #WeTestify #AbortionIsAHumanRight #abortionisessential

Well, that didn’t take long! I’ve already had a THERE’S ALWAYS ADOPTION response to my#OurAbortionStories thread (which is ridiculous on its face since adoption isn’t an alternative to pregnancy/childbirth, but I digress). Let me be very clear about my position. I am adopted. I’ve been living #adoption for 63 yrs. & I’d eat a bvll3t before I did to another human being what was done to me. #AdopteeVoices

I think about this truth every day of my life. Every single day. #ReproductiveRightsAreHumanRights #AbortionIsEssential

Holy crap. #RockAndRoll #JakeELee https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13963439/Jake-E-Lee-shot-Las-Vegas.html

No one should ever be forced to abort a wanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to surrender a wanted baby.
No one should ever be forced to endure an unwanted pregnancy. No one should ever be forced to bear an unwanted baby.
It really is that simple.

Wow—serious blast from the past. I had this EXACT blouse in the late 70s. I paid a ridiculous amount of $$$ for it when I was working as a model. I adored it. I wore it with black satin trousers (high waist, flared with cuffs); platforms; & a super slinky, super skinny silver belt. https://thecommense.com/products/chiffon-ruffle-detail-blouse #OldIsNew

@kaia Yeah, but I think those ppl are unreachable. IMO, this is a clear & powerful message for those still on the fence—& maybe even for those who weren’t planning to vote at all. @flexghost

Rolling Stone magazine fact-checks Vance’s blatant debate lies. #VPDebate #LiarVance https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/jd-vance-rewrite-abortion-stance-vp-debate-1235120684/

This is not a child. About a quarter of Americans will insist to you that it is, because they think that’s an effective strategy for stripping human rights from more than half our population, but underneath their lies, they know. We all know. This. Is. Not. A. Child. #ProChoiceIsProLife #AbortionIsAHumanRight #AbortionIsEssential

I really really REALLY want an #UnfittedKitchen. When we first moved here, we rented an apt in San Diego w/ a huge kitchen. It had a big empty wall—I think most ppl put a kitchen table+chairs there, but I lined up tall industrial shelves instead, & I LOOOVED IT. It makes cooking so much easier, especially for someone like me, who has #PsoriaticSpondylitis (loads less bending/stooping). https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/unfitted-kitchen-37423264

Sometimes I love hard summer light. #SilentSunday #SoCal #badlands

File this thread under Cops Are Dicks:

Michael, our neighbor who died/was killed, did indeed have some next of kin (a cousin, Glenda), & she flew out from Denver a couple of days ago. She asked all the residents to move & gave them a deadline to get their things out of the house (she’s having it shut/boarded up until the family decides what to do with it). A couple of the residents didn’t meet the deadline, even tho Glenda had all the utilities disconnected when it arrived. +

Everyone hates him, even his hairdresser. #TryTipping #weirdo
