Women With High-Risk Pregnancies Have Limited Options Under Abortion Bans
---
Our reporting has found that abortion bans generally don’t include exceptions that cover health concerns pregnant women with chronic conditions can face — or if they do, doctors aren’t using them.

A piece about earnestness, and what happens when you stop saving up goodwill and consider running up some irreverence debt.
'Online, though, and especially in my writing, I’ve noticed how earnest I’ve become. Soulfully earnest. Solely earnest. I mean everything I say, I believe everything I’m saying, but I don’t entirely recognise the person saying it.'

In North Carolina, a state that had legislated its commitment to life, Ciji Graham spent her final days struggling to find anyone to save hers.

Are you a cis woman? If so, please consider signing this open letter saying TERFs who present themselves as speaking "for women" aren't speaking for all #women.

#trans exclusion harms us all, cis and trans alike.

A new, short piece today.
It’s about winter in Scotland, the limits my body is setting right now, returning to photography after months away, and the common ground between my creative practices, where I can see the same voice carrying across both. Lots of photographs in this one too.

Mi primer trabajo personal de este año, dedicado a las mujeres iraníes que se defienden contra el sistema impuesto alzando sus voces, cortando su cabello o quemando símbolos de sus opresores.
Ojalá no tengamos que perderlo casi todo para reaccionar.
Estamos en la misma lucha 🖤

Are there any older women that are gamers and are looking for new people to play with?
I'm 61 and have lost my gaming group for reasons that are not clear to me. I prefer playing with other women or queer folks.
I mostly play:
#Warframe
#Palia
#DeadByDaylight
#Terraria
#GTAOnline
But I'm open to other games. I just can't play anything in first person due to nausea. I prefer cooperative games to competitive ones.
I play on #PS5, so I can play with other playstation folks or on cross-platform titles.
I'm in Pacific time zone, and am available most any time during the day, with an exception of 5-7 pm. I usually get to bed around 10 pm.
Please boost for visibility.
The latest round of #protests in #Iran is large, significant and sharp. We shall hope and see if the people of Iran have success this time
Here's a little #socialMedia wrinkle and it is amazing
#Women have been lighting pictures of the #Ayatollah on fire, and lighting cigarettes with it
Burning photos of the supreme leader is a serious offense
Women smoking is restricted
Not a single (mandatory) #hijab to be seen

A few thoughts ahead of the piece of writing I’m releasing on Friday.
Psychological research links revenge fantasies to unresolved injustice and denied agency. They’re common. In women, they’re more often internalised and read, by others and by women themselves, as personal or moral failure.
