Today is the only day you can reblog this

was talking to an American friend today about all the stuff in the UK and trying to explain what was going on and they said that they couldn't quite grasp what everyone found so funny.

The situation itself isn't funny like, BoJo needed to GoGo a long time ago and never did so that whole part isn't funny and the circumstances that led to the downfall this week should be taken seriously.

What's funny is the reaction to it. Actually it's hilarious.

Like, an entire country of people just memeing the shit out of Gove getting sacked on a day where people were resigning left right and center is hilarious.

Sky News the other night getting distracted during Press Preview because Larry the Cat came outside to reassure the nation

OUR FUCKING PM SAYING THEMS THE BREAKS AS HIS RESIGNATION SPEECH???

Not to mention the fact that I 150% guarantee you that Sunak made that campaign video in the suit he resigned in as a final F U to Boris.

every day I sip my tea and watch the news just thinking

'lmfao i could meme the hell out of that for shits and giggles"

helpful reminders + ways to support abortion seekers in the US right now

some thoughts/reminders based on what i’ve seen on social media today:

this decision doesn’t just impact women! it impacts anyone who has a uterus! say what you mean and mean what you say, your words have weight and meaning! (glad we could clear that up)

grieving is normal. having big, messy, unwieldy feelings is normal. taking the time to recognize and sit in those emotions is important. wanting to protest is good. wanting to change things is great. being in touch enough with your emotions to recognize that you’re experiencing trauma is just as important.

everyone processes differently. my reaction may not look like your reaction, and yours might not look like the reactions of your friends/family members. many people have jobs/situations that preclude them from taking the sort of actions they’d like to in response to this/other social injustices they’ve seen recently. hold space for those people, the people sticking it out in places where they can’t speak their minds for the sake of creating a better place for those who come after them.

the people in the U.S. didn't ask for this. CNN polled americans after the draft opinion leaked in early may, and at the time 59% of respondents said that they'd support congressional legislation codifying nationwide abortion rights. I know it's easy to make fun of the U.S. by calling us a dumpster fire or saying you're glad your country didn't do this, but know that there are real people on the other side of the globe from you who are reeling from the whiplash of swiveling their gaze between children being gunned down in their schools and the supreme court attempting to delegitimize reproductive rights. it's not a joke for them, particularly not for those who fall into multiple minority communities and will now be facing the brunt of this ruling head-on in more ways than one.

for fucks sake. donate to abortion healthcare providers. not just PP (we love them too, but the smaller ones need the most help). learn how to support yourself/your friends in the event that you need to get an abortion and don’t live in a state where it’s protected. spend time/money investing in the protection of the rights of the groups that found out halfway through the morning that they have fewer rights than family members only one generation above them. grieve with them. care for them. act just as loudly as your words and posts.

Deleting Data From Period Tracker Apps (Flo, Clue, Ovia)

deleting the app off of your phone does not delete the data that these companies have on you. given the overturning of roe v wade, it is very possible for bastard cops to demand that data on you if hospital staff suspect you’re considering an abortion, or some other such claim.

FLO: email [email protected] to request that your account be deactivated and your data permanently erased. flo will hold your data for THREE YEARS unless you make this specific request.

CLUE: your data will be erased when you delete your account. the official steps for deleting your clue account are outlined as follows:

1. Open your Clue app. 2. Go to the More Menu in the top-right corner of the Cycle View. 3. Tap ‘Support’. 4. Tap ‘Account and Data’. 5. Scroll down and tap on “How can I delete my account?” 6. Tap the text “delete your Clue account”. 7. If you wish to back-up your data (I would not, it would defeat the point of deleting this data in the first place), you can tap ‘Back up my data’. 8. Tap ‘Continue’ back on the ‘Delete Account’ screen. 9. Enter your password and tap ‘Delete account permanently’.

OVIA: your information is deleted when you delete your account. unfortunately, there’s a really shady clause about denying deletion requests under certain circumstances, so delete that shit as fast as you can. steps for account deletion:

1. Go to the “Settings” page of your Ovia app. 2. Select the option “Reset or delete my account” 3. Then select the option “Delete my account and data”

IF YOU USE ANOTHER PERIOD TRACKER, PLEASE LOOK THROUGH YOUR PRIVACY AGREEMENT. SEARCH FOR TERMS LIKE “DELETION”, “DATA”, AND “RETAIN”. MANY COMPANIES HAVE EXTREMELY SHADY PRACTICES ABOUT DATA DELETION.
