truly an astonishing story
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

Over 31.8M women & girls have lost contraception access due to US aid cuts. Now the Trump admin plans to destroy $10M in contraceptives abroad. On #WorldContraceptionDay, we call out the human cost of removing access to essential health care.

For a potential event, I'm looking for a social media safety expert in the San Diego area -- someone who can talk specifically about ways tweens & teens can stay safe online (and particularly on social media). If you know someone who might fit the bill, please reach out! 🤗

So I wrote one.

Like much today, it's a work in progress.

My love for Twin Peaks knows no bounds, so I am here for this @nerdist.bsky.social piece: 25 Ways TWIN PEAKS Changed Pop Culture
