Apologies, somehow the original was deleted. I'm undergoing my 3rd urgent, non-elective revision spinal fusion this Oct to replace & extend my hardware. I'd appreciate any help in achieving this goal to ensure I have the resources necessary to recover safely & fully.

Dianna Gunn Does (Fictional) Murders 🇨🇦 @diannalgunn.bsky.social · 14h

#ChoicesAnthology isn't just about reproductive horror or crimes committed against people of marginalized genders

It's about reproductive rage, resistance, vengeance, and even, in the sweetest of moments, hope

Dianna Gunn Does (Fictional) Murders 🇨🇦 @diannalgunn.bsky.social · 6d

#ChoicesAnthology is the collective scream of people of marginalized genders facing the control and theft of our reproductive rights, filled with stories of terror, tragedy, resistance, and revenge

Grab your copy today books2read.com/u/3JYo9Q

Red paint background with the cover for Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror on the left. The cover lists the editor, Dianna Gunn, the author of the foreward, Alex Woodroe, and the names of the authors: R Haven, Ondine Mayor, Enoli Lee, Ash Vale, Justine White, Kelli Etheridge, Ava Victoria Black, Allay Rei, Soyam Siddha, Sam Rosewilde, A.H. Davison, Meg Calendaria, KT Wagner, Anne Wilkins, Bogi Takacs, Amanda Cecelia Lang, Elise Scott, Mia Dalia, Raluca Balasa.

The right side says: “As the horrors close in around us, we turn to story to process our fears, our desires, and our futures. In Choices: An Anthology of Reproductive Horror, nineteen writers whose reproductive rights are under threat explore the stories of those who, like them, have had their choices stolen from them.
These stories serve as a reminder of the power of choice and the importance of fighting for every human’s right to choose their own future.”

Reposting. A friend sent 50 for mom. Other 45 went to her protein shakes bc she's barely 100lbs. She's really sick so may drag her to the hospital today. Thanks for kindness, ma still needs clothes, a lot but anything helps her get small stuff too like more clothes that fit from the thrift store etc

Spotify platforms Joe Rogan and other right wing manosphere accounts.

They barely pay the artists.

There are plenty of reasons to boycott them.

Now they’re allowing ICE recruitment ads in their “commercials”.

They’ve bent a knee, and we should all cancel.

Ironic to convey respect without respecting us enough to use imagery that shows that respect but to also NOT EVEN bother to get the holiday right. 🙄

Anyway, if you're here, I have two articles on Indigenous Peoples' Day.

Native Survival Depends on Protecting Both Tribal and US Citizenship Rights

Trump’s attacks on Native sovereignty and citizenship are a deliberate effort to undermine the rights of tribal nations.

I shared this video through @redpopnews.bsky.social about the Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration at the Getty because it was beautiful to share our cultures and to be appreciated for who we are as Native people beyond the Hollywood tropes and Stereotypes and not as relics of the past.

Also, I think Granny Bess embroidered this top, bc the flowers & vines look similar to the ones on the pillowcases of my childhood

Many of the pillowcases also had embroidered owls on them 😬 which was ...Confusing. For so many reasons

Many of their embroidered eyes were closed at least

My sister was fixing mom's storage chest and this photo fell out 💞

I remember when Mom looked like this, but I'm surprised to see this photo and realize how much like ME she looks here 😮

(because I think, and was always told/under the impression I resemble my Daddy much more strongly)

Granny Bess embroidered them, because they look like the pillowcases of my childhood.
