it's been a while, and it's been a lot, so here's a lot of thoughts too.
tw: there is discussions about pregnancy and miscarriage from 12:16 - 31:58
Parts:
0:00 Intro
2:05 Part 1: the fun project - the science podcast
12:16 Part 2: the low note - the miscarriage
31:58 Part 3: the fall library check-in
For more information on the Texas abortion ban, I found this twitter thread by a Texas journalist to be very useful: twitter.com/SophieNovack/status/1433073488512827392?s=20
And if you're looking for organizations to support, ActBlue has a fundraiser dividing donations between different abortion funds: secure.actblue.com/donate/txfunds
