I don't like the gloopy texture of chia seed pudding but if you blend it, it's more normal creamy! I used this recipe (just cause it was the first one I googled that I had everything on hand for)

Chocolate Chia Pudding Mousse (Blended & Smooth) | Downshiftology
Chocolate chia pudding mousse is a smooth, blended version of chocolate chia pudding. There's no chia seed texture, just a classic creamy mousse consistency.

Abortion is still legal and available in Wisconsin.

The Trump regime snuck abortion restrictions into the big billionaire bill, which is now law. However, two independent clinics in Milwaukee County will continue to provide abortion care.
