My toddler just said “I want to go mommy’s book tour” as I was leaving and I am so proud but also I will never be leaving the city limits again.

Ok so my take is that David Harbour playing a character that is objectively humiliating (and also dies) right after the Lily Allen album is great PR strategy that he simply doesn’t deserve. Whoever is responsible for this, please use your talents for good instead!
Thank you so much Becca! I’m really grateful for your work.
My point is: resist that. Seek out the work of journalists, activists, and thinkers like @garnethenderson.com @susanrinkunas.com @kylietcheung.bsky.social @amylittlefield.bsky.social @gretchensisson.bsky.social @beccareatucker.bsky.social @renee.bsky.social @tinavasquez.bsky.social + so many others
I think it goes to show just how much this sort of reporting gets buried by *tHe AlGoRiThMs,* and when I think too hard about that, I want to walk into the sea.
When this story published, I did the thing where you send it out to people who might be interested. A man I consider smart and well read observed that abortion as a subject in journalism has “fallen off the radar a bit,” and I can’t stop thinking about that comment.
If you haven’t already, consider leaving a real review wherever you leave reviews so people know it’s a safe resource 🩷
Y’all this person *came back* to update their review to insult me some more lmao. They are so upset about compassion! Imagine living like this! Also: it is in fact possible to be a working professional in multiple disciplines. I believe it makes my work stronger.
Book Club is the best modern ensemble cast rom com and it’s not even close.
I just am really glad I don’t have 9 kids!
(My grandma did too, this isn’t *just* about the ballerina lady)
Is there a greater high than getting a second Yahtzee with sixes? (No).

This is insane — DHS apparently went so far in their lie that Columbia University President Claire Shipman says the agents apparently brought faux flyers of a "missing child" so they could force themselves inside a campus residency to detain a college student.
Hi, does anyone here know what resources are available specifically for survivors who have abortions? I’d like to add them to my resource list. TY!
I support and respect trans Kansans. This is so awful.

Friends: I’m building an “Abortion Support” collection on my Patreon - I’d love to know what kind of resources you’d like to see there! My hope is that it will be an info hub for people who have abortions and the people who love us 🩷

“I don’t want to be pregnant” is a complete sentence.
So despite the ICE abduction this morning, Columbia didn’t take any steps to cancel classes or move them remote. No idea how noncitizen community members are supposed to feel safe showing up to study or work today.
It is absolutely disgusting, morally depraved behavior for ANY doctor to “medically clear” ANYONE for deportation. This isn’t difficult to understand.
Does anyone else relate to the feeling of wanting to crawl into a live TV commercial - particularly the living rooms - and just exist there in a liminal state, like some kind of sensory deprivation tank?

On my Patreon you'll find things like voice memos, essays, repro analysis/news, photos, recipes, bake-alongs, and occasionally something in your (literal) mailbox. And whatever else I can dream up!
In an effort to reconnect with my community (away from the whims of Meta’s algorithm and the decision to platform hate speech on Substack), I'm moving to Patreon!
Welcome, or welcome back 🩷
patreon.com/beccareatucker
Announcement: I’m moving to Patreon (after years and years of being very uncomfortable asking for $$ for my content), and I’d love to know what y’all would be interested in! Current ideas include quarterly bakealongs, monthly postcards, behind the scenes voice memos, and lots of lists. Tell me!
The bill sponsor who didn't respond to my comment request on allegations that repro groups blocked a Nevada bill to decriminalize abortion now says "making laws can be complicated, and not every bill passes." OK!
