abortion, unions, cats, Cleveland. she/her.
Crystal is one of the best people, hands down. My blood type probably rules me out as a donor for them, but I registered as an interested living donor in case a paired donation would be an option. You can do the same!
Did I go to the bar and make a Lisa Frank-themed social media ask for an organ? Yes.
benefits to donating:
- temporary break from work and responsibilities as you convalesce
- badass scar
- you grow your own organ back, that’s kinda cool
- good karma
- you save my life

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

I know to a degree this is just how women are socialized to try and connect with one another but this older lady on my street tells me “you’ve lost so much weight” every time she sees me and 1) it’s not true and 2) I’m concerned she thinks I’m someone else but I don’t know WHO

I appreciate that people in local lost pet FB groups want to protect animals but commenting “BEWARE OF PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT IT FOR DOG FIGHTING” on a photo of a lost *Newfoundland* is a sign you need to touch grass

I hope this comparison doesn’t invite a similar legacy but man seeing Zohran win is kinda what it felt like seeing Obama win in 2008

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes

I know what a lot of my favorite podcasters look like but I don’t want to know about Michael Hobbes. Because in my head he’s like a short twink Ryan Seacrest with incredible thighs and I just want to keep that image I’m sorry

We also do accountability reporting that's sorely lacking in this space—stories that other repro-focused publications wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. Notably, workers trust us to tell these stories.
After spending years watching reproductive rights coverage get flattened into political horse race stories at mainstream outlets, Rinkunas and fellow journalist @garnethenderson.com launched Autonomy News earlier this year, holding both right-wing actors and progressive organizations accountable.

Man I think the lesson the DNC needs to take from this is not that we need more geriatric centrist candidates but that Platner’s campaign platform was so popular it made the secret king of bad vibes mountain a serious contender

You shouldn’t be allowed to go straight from undergrad into a graduate/professional degree program for a field in which you’ll work with the public (law, medicine, social work, education, etc). You have to go be a regular guy for a little while.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

It should be illegal to get an MFA directly out of undergrad

Would love a follow-up to this about PPGOH’s patient no-show rates after the nav team got laid off. My hunch is that they’ve gone up.
NEW: Planned Parenthood of Greater Ohio could lay off 20-30% of its clinical staff as soon as next week, the workers' union tells me. The union is asking PPGOH management to commit to exec pay cuts before laying off any patient-facing workers

Since we last shared an update on bargaining, we’ve received additional information about management salaries at Rewire.
The TLDR: The pay discrepancy between management and union members is deeply unsettling.

Niche Cleveland posting but how on EARTH did Ideastream and CSU think the whole sudden takeover of a beloved college radio station (to replace it with smooth jazz no less) was gonna go? Like how much do you have to have your head up the ass of millionaires to not see the backlash coming a mile away?
