Did you know there is a safe, private option for an at-home abortion? A safe abortion with pills is possible. Every year, all over the world, people choose medication abortion as a safe, private, and effective at-home method to end an early-term pregnancy. The "abortion pill" is actually a combination of two pills, mifepristone and misoprostol, also referred to as medication abortion. The combination of the two pills is the most effective method of medication abortion (95-98% effective in the first trimester). Check out @plancpills / planc.org for more information! #safeabortion #abortionpills #medicationabortion #prochoice #plancpills #feminist #womenshealth #transhealth
From artist @ashlukadraws: “This trans-exclusionary bullshit ‘feminism’ needs to stop now. After many months, I’m restocking the ‘Sisters not just Cis-ters’ print in my shop. 50% of the profits will be going to one of my favorite local organizations, @translatinacoalition.” The prints are now available for pre-order - link in @ashlukadraws’ bio. 💜

South Korean artist and disruptor Lee Bull’s performance, “Sorry for suffering – You think I’m a puppy on a picnic? (1990)”, began when she boarded a plane at Seoul’s Kimpo airport and headed for Tokyo, swamped by the heavy, flesh-coloured material of her bulging bodysuit, and ready to let loose on the capital city. While she says that she will never discuss what her art means, “Sorry for suffering – You think I’m a puppy on a picnic” (1990) is believed to be a feminist critique on the controlling of women’s bodies in patriarchal East Asian society, given Lee had transformed her female body into something monstrous; something socially unacceptable. This early piece would kick off a three-decade-long career for Lee. From the late 80s up until now, she has been prolific in creating a wide-range of works, which draw on a jumble of references from Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell (1989-90) manga series, to South Korean politics, and even the decaying stench of a fish market. Her work sees her revisiting past experiences (even her own abortion) and then imagining what our future hopes could look like. Read more about the artist on @dazed. Her show Lee Bul: Crashing is on at London’s Hayward Gallery now. via @ashleighkane
Sending love to all the abortion providers, nurses, and clinic escorts who essentially risk their own lives to help women take control of their own and since the current SCOTUS nom will embolden the anti-choices more than ever.

Maya Angelou said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Trump said he’d nominate a Justice that would overturn Roe v Wade and Kavanaugh is that man. Kavanaugh is the anti-choice, pro-gun, anti-environmental protection, anti-civil rights, anti-union conservative that minority right wing extremists in our country have been begging for, whose dangerous decisions will alter the course of history for generations of Americans. It is time to put the pressure on. It is time to show up. It is time to participate. It is time to get educated about the laws in place in your state that protect abortion access. It is time to donate to your local @plannedparenthood. Yes it is time to call your fucking Senators for the 1000th fucking time (202-225-3121) and if you live in a state where your Senator’s vote is up for grabs, you should also call your Governor to increase the pressure. It’s time to act up in the name of women’s rights, immigrant rights, healthcare, affirmative action, LGBTQ rights, and everything else that makes America worth a damn. They want us exhausted and defeated, but we will answer them with power and strength! via @sexybeastla (give them a follow!) #barbarakruger #yourbodyisabattleground
Fuck your #civility. Telling people how to respond in the face of fascist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy is another way of #tonepolicing those without power. Call your reps (we pay their salaries, yo). Register to vote. Register your neighbor. Donate (if you can) to organizations fighting for women’s right to choose, immigrant rights, and LGBTQIA+ rights. Volunteer. March. VOTE! Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Doing one thing is better than doing nothing. // photo from @janellemonae #fuckthepatriarchy #fucktrump
On the blog: Part one interview with @tishandsnooky of @manicpanicnyc! 💥 “It was so different back in [the 70s]. You were looked at like such a freak if your hair was a different color. It made people upset sometimes, rather than making people happy with beautiful color therapy. The way we dressed, the color of our hair, our music – everything was very alien to the masses. Now, it’s like nothing. Everyone can dye their hair now. It’s a nicer place to live, in a way, because you can go to work with green hair in most places.” // Read more online now!
