The INSTANT I sense woo being peddled, my hackles go way the fuck up. Even when it’s relatively harmless and people aren’t spending fistfuls of money on rocks, scented water, oils, and artfully arranged trash, it just gets to me on a sore-tooth level of unreasonable sharpness.

Me too. Additionally, people will point to stuff like Mama Medicine and say, “Well, some people seem to like it and they don’t seem to be hurting anyone, so what’s the problem?” The problem is that it lines the pockets of snake oil salesmen and contributes to a society that can neither assess the empirical evidence…

Shooter is in custody = probably a white guy.

It is insane how timely that show is/has been throughout. 

Wow, gun violence AND an assault on a free press all in one? It’s like the conservative dream. 

But if they succeed in making it illegal, they lose a powerful force for riling up their base.

The rules of Gilead care about the environment?

I wish there were more opportunities for reflective self-care that isn’t rooted in pseudoscience and weird spirituality.  As someone who has suffered from similar depression from a young age, I empathize, but I could not participate in something like this since I’d never give money to these kinds of people who peddle…

I hear thoughts & prayers are effective.

Womp womp?

I am gonna stock up on Plan B and buy 10 or 20 in stock. Fuck this shit...

Don’t forget that women are going to be prosecuted for even seeking abortions. All that “women are the victims!” nonsense will go right out the window the instant Roe is overturned.

“Since a startling brush with violent suicidal ideation at age 12, the isolating and sadly crucial science of preventing myself from lying on the floor in a fetal position and never getting back up has been my life’s most invisible work.”

And you know what? This isn’t only about abortion, because their next step will be to do away with all babykiller pills, OKA, birth control. Need it for a actual health issue, tough luck slut, you should have had better genes.

Doctors will continue to do abortions. For wealthy white women who have insurance and who can afford to be checked into the hospital for a day or two.

This week the Supreme Court decided that it’s unconstitutional to force fake doctors to tell women the truth, but totally constitutional to force real doctors to lie to them. That’s the court we have right now. And it’s about to become so much worse.

I agree %100 with what Orcasio-Cortez said in another interview (tweet? I can’t remember where I read it. Somewhere on here). Where districts are contentious, then yes go with a safe centrist Dem. Where districts are solidly blue, like hers, that’s where you go for the more progressive Dems.
