Republicans in Louisiana have made it hard to prescribe misoprostol to patients. Just so y’all are crystal fucking clear here, the people who get this medication are almost always otherwise pretty healthy 15-35 year old women who have the misfortune of suffering a miscarriage, hemorrhage after delivering a baby, or period so heavy they are at risk of needing a blood transfusion. That’s right. Your kids, friends, significant others. You know, women.
"Some hospitals have already preemptively pulled #misoprostol from their obstetric hemorrhage carts and kits...
“The physician community that I work within is certainly anxious about what the changes to the normal process will be,” said Dr. Stacey Holman...
She added how “frustrating” it is that it’s become routine in #Louisiana to have an unclear #law attempting to dictate #medical practice creating stress on #healthcare providers."

This is what Donald #Trump meant when he meant "send it to the states."
Now lifesaving medication is getting pulled off the shelves.
BREAKING: Lifesaving medication for postpartum hemorrhaging is being pulled off emergency carts because of new #Louisiana law reclassifying misoprostol as a controlled dangerous substance. https://lailluminator.com/2024/09/03/louisiana-women/

Ooookay so I had an idea and jumped on it.
I'm now the proud owner of writingmonth.org. I'm gonna code up a site for a generic, non-enshittified site for community focused chasing of writing goals, coincidentally focused around the month of November.
Any NaNoWriMo veterans who wanna give me ideas or recommendations, I am very happy to take them. :)
There are few cases that depict how willing Salt Lake City PD is to brutalize homeless folks as much as the attack on Agnes Martinez.
Ms. Martinez, who was living out of her car, is a 5' 2" woman who didn't want to be arrested for simply trying to survive.
Her refusal to relax her arm when being slammed against her car, which had been illegally searched, was enough for SLCPD officers Lane Wolfenbarger and Paul Mullenax to justify slamming her to the ground so hard her leg shattered.

And then there’s the one Republican in Alabama who has common sense.

When someone asserts that teachers are “indoctrinating” kids of anything, they’re giving away their absolute cluelessness of what actually takes place in classrooms.
Teachers don’t have time to pee. When the everlovin’ f*ck are they gonna find time to teach your kids how to be trans/gay/woke/etc?! Get a clue, dipshits.

I was saddened to learn that @stevesilberman passed away last night from his husband, who shared the news on Bluesky.
Steve was a true mensch: kind, funny, generous, passionate in righteous fury & compassionate.
He helped countless people understand neurodiversity, spoke truth to power, & shared joy in good music, great food, & clever humor.
I’m grateful to have known him online, in life. We will hold him in the light tonight, in death. RIP.

Let there be an eternal and bright memory of all our heroes of different times who fought for the independence of Ukraine"
