increasingly what i enjoy doing is thinking about how to mix art, media and 'non-academic' forms of expression with my work and this has been a cool way to play around with that.

major thanks goes to @voelkerrechtsblog.org for being open to this kind of thing & to anna sophia for the visual :)

Striking. After Texas banned abortion, ER visits for early miscarriage rose 25% and blood transfusions surged 54%.
