#Dobbs day

[anamericangirl]

In honor of today being the two year anniversary of Roe v Wade on the Ash Heap of History Day here’s a throwback to Pink being so mad about it she told all pro-life people, who really had nothing to do with the decision, to “never listen” to her music again as if that was a punishment and we’d been listening to her music to begin with lol

Celebrities think they are so much more important than they actually are. It’s so funny that she actually thinks that a single one of us would comply with her demands and that her music is so good it would hurt us to know she doesn’t want us to listen to it. Like lmao if anyone even still listens to Pink they’re not going to stop just because she threw a temper tantrum when the case that said killing babies was a right got overturned and said “don’t listen to my music anymore 😡”

Stuff like this will never not be funny to me.

With access to safe abortion and contraceptives being increasingly restricted, I just wanted to say a big ole happy international women’s day to the massive rise in vasectomies. You love to see it 💃🏻

Corrupted Innocence - Mickey Dobbs/Samantha

A/N: Day 1 for @sintember

“Fuck…” Samantha’s whimper is soft but audible and Mickey smirks up at her from between her thighs. She remembers Sam’s innocence too well, a small, shy woman unravelling under her skill always feels good but there’s something in the way Samantha whines for her that is almost flattering. “Oh my god…. Mickey…” “Mmm, I know baby. I know.” She does, she thinks. Samantha isn’t the first bisexual woman to use her as their first time, but she hopes, this time, she can keep Samantha for her own, she loves watching the woman’s innocence fade under her. They’ve barely begun, she wants to do everything she can. “How does it feel?” “Incredible…”

Are you in Ohio? Are you outside Ohio but know a voter there? Today is Election Day for Part One of a two stage process to determine whether Ohio will protect Reproductive Freedom.

tl;dr – Vote No on today's August ballot measure and vote yes on the November measure: August NO — November YES.

There is a lot of interest in this election. If Ohio voters reverse the gerrymandered GOP legislature's decision to ban almost all abortions, Ohio will become the largest state to do so since the regressive Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization ruling by SCOTUS last year.

You can usually tell how much interest there is in an election by the amount of early voting. Early voting has been brisk in Ohio.

Almost 700,000 Ohioans cast ballots in the early voting period leading up to the Aug. 8 special election on the constitutional amendment to make it harder to pass future amendments. More than 118,000 Ohioans have voted early, either by mail or in person, during the last three days of early voting alone on Issue 1. Early absentee ballots began to be sent out on June 23, and the first ballots were returned five days later. Since then, 696,905 Ohioans have voted early by mail or in person at county early voting centers. That’s already more than the 638,708 Ohioans who voted in the legislative primary last August. And it's more than twice the around 289,000 Ohioans who voted early in the primaries in May 2022, in which seven Republicans and three Democrats were running for their parties' nominations for US Senate and both parties also had contested primaries for governor.

If you've received a mail-in ballot but neglected to mail it, you can still deliver it TODAY in person to your election board.

There are about 68,000 ballots that have been mailed to voters that haven't been returned. If they are, they'll be added into the early vote totals. Anyone who has voted their ballot and hasn't mailed it by now should hand deliver it to their local board of elections. They can be deposited into secure drop boxes at those locations. Polls open at 6:30 a.m. Tuesday and close at 7:30 p.m.

State elections, state legislatures, and state constitutions have been neglected far too long by liberals.

I See Your True Colors - Andrea Singer/Mickey Dobbs

A/N: Day 2 for @augustwritingchallenge

Both Andrea and Mickey have been left behind by their then boyfriends when they meet. The world is still colorless, all black and white and grey until Andrea moves up next to Mickey and meets her eyes. The world explodes into color, both women gasping, then laughing softly. Andrea smiles shyly as she introduces herself and Mickey grins as she responds, pulling Andrea closer so their lips meet, teeth clashing before they settle into the kiss, soft but claiming. Andrea smiles as she pulls back, her voice soft. “So… soulmates huh?” “Yeah, sorry I’m kind of a mess?” “Aw, so am I… it’s okay, we can be messy together.”

Fantasycon 2024

I love Fantasycon. It’s an amazing experience, full of friendly faces and like minded people where I go to recharge my writer battery. I haven’t written much in the last year. Firstly, work has been kicking my arse and secondly, I’ve been editing The Original’s Rage (out 15th November! Preorders available here). After a weekend of discussing writing and drinking far too much alcohol, I’m ready…

[vaspider]

Tonight, the night before Election Day 2024 in the US, I am thinking about my stepkid.

I am thinking about the phone call they made to us earlier this year, the one where they told us they'd gone to the hospital thinking they had appendicitis and found out, instead, that a zygote - a tiny splodge of cells - had taken up residence not in their uterus but in a fallopian tube. The one where our kid said they were waiting for their partner to arrive, hoped that said partner would get there before the docs took our kid back to terminate that pregnancy, & assured us that they'd be okay.

After all, our kid lives in a state with choice measures embedded in state law. That pea-sized blot of tissue doesn't have more right to their health than they do. Nobody is standing between them and their doctors. They made a decision, and that was that.

In this tiny tragedy, the kind that plays out dozens of times a day at minimum across the country, we only had to worry about the small risk of surgery complications. We didn't have to worry about Ken Paxton threatening to charge their doctors with felonies. We didn't have to think, "What if the hospital's legal team doesn't think an ectopic pregnancy - which is never ever viable and must be terminated before it kills our kid - is really that big of a deal?" We didn't have to worry that they live in a state where ob-gyns are fleeing, leaving few experts behind, as has happened in Idaho.

We didn't have to watch our kid vomit up black blood before dying the day after their baby shower the way Neveah's mom did. We didn't have to pray in a waiting room (while doctors took our kid apart until their heart stopped because the doctors waited too long out of fear of anti-choice laws) until a doctor came to tell us we'd have to bury them the way that Amber's mom did. We aren't having to pick up our lives after fully treatable miscarriage-related sepsis took them from us the way that Josseli's husband and daughter must.

I could go on for far, far too long.

Listen. If you are a single-issue non-voter and have already decided that "both parties are the same" or whatever other thing you've told yourself so you can sleep at night, smug and secure, then I can't reach you and I can't help you. But if you genuinely think that your votes don't matter, if you're just suffering from a bout of overwhelm or apathy, if you're too young to remember the 2000 election and can't see that Dobbs is a direct result of that election and every one that's followed, please, I am fucking begging you.

I didn't really talk about this when it happened. I mentioned something briefly, maybe. The posts I've started writing about it are still in my drafts. It was too fresh, too frightening. It's not any less frightening now, honestly - because if this week doesn't end with President Kamala Harris, we're headed for a national abortion ban, at the minimum - but it's not about how fucking frightened I was or how sad and bewildered I was to realize that my kid was going through this crisis in a nation more hostile to them than when I needed a D&C for an abortion at 21, in 1998.

It's about stopping this chapter of this fucking bullshit and at least finding some new fucking bullshit.

Vote, dammit.

Do the other work on Wednesday. Tomorrow, the work is to vote.

#i'm sorry but you have to vote#there is no third option that will appear if you sit out#jill stein is a shill for putin she will not save you#and it's not just presidential#it's house and senate#remember how we literally can't get any shit done bc house keeps impeding?#yeah that's why#you need to vote up and down the ballot#legal shit takes time#you're not going to win right away#every single day makes me sick but it would be worse under trump#i repeat: i'm sorry but you have to vote#and if you have the gall to say 'well we deserve trump' shut the fuck up with your stupid martyr complex#your elderly neighbors deserve that? your friends deserve that? children deserve that?#fuck off. fuck all the way off#btw: not voting won't 'teach the dems a lesson' either. it'll only teach them to convert to republican#politicians want to win so they will follow what's winning#i'm sorry for being harsh but i will never forgive everyone responsible if trump gets back into power#i didn't the first time he was elected. i won't the second time.

I'm sure many people have already shared this here, but I think it's important that people here on Tumblr need to see this.

love watching the supreme court throw out all the precedent I’ve learned before I’m able to actually take the bar

[dontcallittimetravel]

In case you forgot, On This Day one year ago: the "supreme" court of the united states rules women don't have autonomy over their bodies. They can say that, but that doesn't make it true
