I got to spend the evening among a bunch of (mostly women) physicians who are fighting for reproductive rights, health, and justice in Texas, and I’m so thankful for them and their advocacy and their expertise.

"King said he ran into Kincaid at a conference and told him not to tell him anything about the map. Asked if it’s normal for him not to want information about something coming before his own committee, King responded he wasn’t sure if Kincaid’s map would be the one they voted on."

Anyway, to put it mildly, it worked out. Here we are, on the left in 1984 with shopping mall makeovers, on the right in 2025 with way less makeup even though we now have wrinkles and stuff. HBD to Laura, who would never, ever, ever join a website like this.

pick up my lunch tray and find somewhere else to sit. I can still see myself, looking around the cafeteria like uh, what now? I saw this girl who I was in a couple of classes with and who seemed very nice, I wagered she wouldn't reject or humiliate me in front of her elementary school friends. 3/x
