It’s come to my attention that some people think a vasectomy means they take your balls. To be clear, no. They do not take your balls.

Don’t spend money on merch or pussy hats or a performative woman’s march. Donate to abortion funds, bail funds, mutual aid orgs

A couple weeks ago, my sabbatical application was ranked among the worst in my college for the second year in a row. This time, they questioned my ability to be relevant enough for proposed media engagement. I work on pregnancy criminalization. Wonder if they’d rethink that now…

And the thing you need to worry about the MOST is humans, using their mouths, to tattle on you. ❤️
Co-sign! Tracking your period (if you can) is really important for detecting unintended pregnancies as early as possible and giving you the most options for accessing abortion care. Period tracking apps are very low risk. It's DMs/texts and search history you need to worry about.

On Oct. 15, @ProfGraceHoward discussed her new book The Pregnancy Police at a Vital Signs event. The book examines the legal frameworks behind the surveillance and prosecution of pregnant people, exposing the roles of healthcare, social work, and legal networks.

Anyway, maybe your university wants to hire someone who does what I do.

Raise your hand if you aren’t getting a sabbatical despite being on a major upward career trajectory with a new book and an extensive research agenda. For the second year in a row. ✋
