Reposting the thing I post every time new abortion restrictions drop: I know we all want to make sure that people who need reproductive healthcare can get it, but if you’re serious about what you’re saying, then you need to consider the consequences of genuinely committing to following the mandate of conscience instead of the law: which means DON’T TALK ABOUT IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. Saying “if you need an abortion I will help you get one” on social media is fabulous optics and makes you look super cool but if you want to actually be able to help someone who’s at risk of legal consequences you gotta prioritize opsec. There’s no magic language that will protect you. “Come visit your auntie so-and-so for no reason” on your public facebook WILL be used as evidence against someone who takes up up on that offer. You all are accidentally kneecapping your own ability to actually help anyone AT BEST and prioritizing clout over efficacy at worst. FOCUS UP.

contemplating the hypothetical subculture of vegan leatherdaddies. surely science has given us good enough leather alternatives by now for that to be a thing
