Owensboro, #Kentucky native Hadley Duvall was arguably the face of reproductive rights in the 2023 off-year election.
She received a standing ovation at @KamalaHarris' livestreamed town hall hosted by @Oprah.

"It often feels like we are being backed into a corner because of our values," Savannah Trebuna, director of Kentucky Health Justice Network’s abortion fund, said. "We are not going to concede to this funding crisis."
In June, national organizations announced abrupt cuts to the financial assistance they provide to abortion patients, plunging the entire ecosystem into chaos. Abortion fund leaders told @garnethenderson that things have “never been even close to this bad”

Abortion might be legal… in some places, but can you get one without losing a paycheck? Or driving +200 miles? Or have someone who can care for your kids? Or worry about all the logistical hoops to jump through while traveling and having a disability? Legal is just not enough.

We've got to talk about this more: A near 20-point difference in female and male college-going rates. Before we give the excuse, "they prefer trade school," we need to remember trade school in Ky is most likely a KCTCS college. #KYHigherEdMatters

I’m honored for my inaugural poem to hang in the office of this governor whom I admire so much. 300 copies, signed and numbered, were hand-lettered and printed as a collaboration by October Press and Larkspur Press. Of course Gov. Beshear received number one.

Across the country, hundreds of thousands of our neighbors are being pushed out of homes and onto the street.
This isn’t simply their choice; it’s the result of policy choices by elected leaders.

Hey dipshits.
The Transgender Day of Visibility has been held every March 31 for fifteen fucking years. Easter only happens on March 31 rarely. It won’t happen again until the year 2086.
