god i love reading about stupid drama in ancient greece. like there was an athlete named theagenes who was so good at every kind of athletic contest that when he died, one of his opponents would go to beat the shit out of a statue of him out of spite, but then one day the statue fell on the guy and killed him so the greeks took the statue to court for murder, convicted it, and threw it into the sea

[thoodleoo]

actually i left out the best part of this story which is that a plague then struck and when people consulted the oracle at delphi she was like "well you've pissed of theagenes" so they had to go dig the statue back up out of the fucking water

Protecting Yourself from Criminalization for Self-Managed Abortion — OARS

Self-managed abortion (SMA) with pills is very medically safe and effective throughout early pregnancy, but there is a significant risk of criminalization in many U.S. states. While it is impossible to fully eliminate the risk of criminalization when having or planning to have an abortion at home, t

[kickerofelves]

Leave no online footprint of searches or purchases. Digital Defense Fund’s abortion privacy guide is your go-to resource for this. Using private browsers, two-factor authentication, encrypted messaging, strong passwords, etc. is critical. Google searches have been presented as evidence in an SMA trial before. Do not leave a digital trail.

Use the medications properly to prevent interactions with healthcare providers. The pills are very effective, but they have to be used right. Carefully follow the instructions provided on the How to Use Abortion Pill website. Note that misoprostol tablets should always be taken by dissolving them under the tongue. Do NOT insert misoprostol vaginally if you are self-managing an abortion. While this is medically safe, it can leave incriminating pill remnants that can be detected in the vagina during a pelvic exam if you end up needing to seek medical care. 

If it’s not an emergency but you need expert health advice, use a free calling service like Google Voice to call or text the Miscarriage + Abortion Hotline at 1-833-246-2632. Medical complications are very uncommon with abortion pills, but they’re not impossible. The M+A Hotline is safe to use and is staffed by trustworthy clinicians who volunteer their time to help those who choose SMA. Do not use your own phone number to call as this will create a record that is visible to your cell service provider. 

Don’t disclose any information about SMA to emergency room staff if you do need to seek medical care. This is how most people who are arrested for SMA are reported. Healthcare providers are almost always who calls the police in cases of SMA criminalization. Contrary to popular belief, HIPAA does not protect your private health information from being shared with police if you are suspected of doing something that could be considered a crime. If you believe you need to seek urgent medical care, do not hesitate to go. Say “I think I’m having a miscarriage” and provide your symptoms. Do not mention any use of or purchase of abortion pills. There is no widely available test to detect misoprostol in your bloodstream. If you do not disclose it, there is no way for a medical provider to tell the difference between a medication abortion and a spontaneous miscarriage.

Do not talk to the cops. Period. Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Cops. If you are questioned by police you should state, “I am exercising my right to remain silent, and I wish to speak with an attorney.” Do not speak again or nod in response to a question. Contact the Repro Legal Helpline as soon as possible for expert legal advice: 1-844-868-2812. Do not agree to questioning or speak to any law enforcement official without a lawyer present.

Remember if you live somewhere where this is an option you need, you need to be keeping a healthy stock of pregnancy tests and using them regularly to catch the pregnancy early enough. It is incredibly common for people to only find out well past 10 weeks. Of course that can be expensive so look for the paper strip type that doctors use, not the bulky plastic types typically advertised for home use if you can. And dont fall for marketing gimmicks with pregnancy tests, they all work about the same, you don’t need a digital screen and if in doubt do another test tomorrow.

(Also do your test first thing when you wake up for best results)

I would HATE for anyone in Texas to ACCIDENTALLY read this…

[possiblythreefourthspeahen]

The dollar store carries pregnancy tests and they’re just as accurate as the ones from the pharmacy, fyi

[definitelynotaminion]

Having worked in a doctor’s office, can confirm we just used cheap plastic OTC pregnancy tests and the dollar tree has them sometimes for $1. As a further reminder– (loosely) once the sperm hits the egg and you become “officially pregnant”, pregnancy is calculated by going back to the date of your LAST period. So if the date of your conception is March 29, but you got off your period March 01, congrats! You’re now 1 month/4 weeks pregnant. That’s how pregnancy is calculated. And you absolutely cannot find out the day you conceived that you’re pregnant, because it takes at least 2 weeks before your body makes enough HCG to be perceived by a pregnancy test– so that’s another two weeks. Which means you could have sex, become pregnant, wait the two weeks to test, and be ‘six weeks’ pregnant. That’s right– if you do everything right, and find out you’re pregnant literally as SOON as possible, you can already be 6 weeks pregnant. “The Texas Heartbeat Act prohibits abortion when there is a detectable heartbeat, which may be as early as 6 weeks into a woman’s pregnancy.” This is why this act is genuinely evil. You could be ‘two weeks out from the date you had the sex that got you pregnant’ and be 6 weeks pregnant. It’s not likely, but it’s incredibly possible. If you miss a period, it hurts NOTHING to check immediately. Don’t wait. Waiting a single month after your missed period to test could mean you’re suddenly 10 weeks pregnant– or more.

[definitelynotaminion]

Actually, hang on, I want to talk more–

I went to the aidaccess website. For some states, they can mail the medicine to you directly without a prescription. For others, they’ll do an online consult with a doctor to prescribe and then mail you the medicine.

The cost can be from $110-150.

When you first start the consult, you see this.

We want to look at the second option. Because these are shipped internationally, and as sited on the website due to covid delays, the medicine takes three to four weeks to reach you.

If you find out you are pregnant at six weeks, you must order immediately in order to do a pill abortion at home under the ten week window. However, it gives you the option to buy in advance. Both mifepristone and misoprostol tablets usually carry a 2-year shelf life. The price isn’t THAT much higher than Plan B.

I researched that on my own– the shelf life thing– but was incredibly pleased to see the aidaccess website got into it as well.

[Image text:  Advance provision 1. If you live in a place with a very restrictive abortion law, it can be helpful to have the medicines for a medical abortion in advance case of a future unwanted pregnancy.  In this case you should contact us again immediately when you find out that you are pregnant so that we can give you the proper guidance. Please check the expiration date when you received the medicines (most can be kept up to 2 years after receiving the package as long as they are kept at room temperature and in their original and undamaged blister packs. It is likely that they can be kept for even longer but their effectiveness cannot be guaranteed after that point. 

2.If you want the medicines because you had unprotected sex less than 5 days ago, you can still use emergency contraceptives!]

The aidacess website walks you through EVERY PART OF THIS.

If you have $150 to spare, this is potentially live-saving medication. If your current plan is to drive out of state, stay for three days at a hotel to maybe get an in-person abortion after listening to a heartbeat etc, please consider that cost versus this cost. It has a shelf life of two years. I’m considering buying some right now.

I am incredibly moved to know this option exists and am currently about to share it with every social media site I can.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I REPEAT

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

THE STRICTLY NO HEROICS (Feiwel & Friends, Macmillan Children’s, 2023) COVER JUST DROPPED!

If you’re a powerless normie in a world run by superheroes, you need three rules to survive:

1: Keep your head down

2: Don’t make enemies

3: STRICTLY NO HEROICS

When a hero gropes her best friend, Riley Jones breaks all of them.

​Her attempt at serving justice gets her fired from her summer job. Luckily, Sunnylake City’s biggest business is booming (literally, when there’s C4 involved).

​Every villain wants henchmen: masked cronies who take their coffee orders, vacuum their secret lairs, and posture in the background while they fight. The HENCH agency provides a steady stream of drop-outs and losers who are willing to get beaten up by sidekicks for minimum wage.

​Riley might just be the perfect candidate.

I’ve worked so hard on this project, with an incredible team of people. And we’re getting closer to that sweet, sweet pub date!

Any boosts would be greatly appreciated <3 Let’s give my debut some love?

Story Time!

My father, who is an identical twin, has two older sisters who were also identical twins. My grandfather’s favourite way to tell the story was that in 1956 when he was awaiting the arrival of 🤷‍♀️ Child™️, the doctor (who, in the small town where we’re from, had delivered my aunts a few years earlier) came to the lounge, lit a cigarette and took a seat next to him.

“Clifford… how are ya?” the doctor greeted.

“I’m alright… yourself?”

“Good, good…good, so how many ya want this time?”

My grandfather, even in the retelling of the story heaved the most world weary sigh and said, “…how many ya got?”

[marionthegeek]

I swear to God if I read one more hot-take or off-handed remark in an Our Flag Means Death media article about "Stede was really probably Blackbeard's prisoner", I'm going to start screaming.

You want to know how much hard evidence "prisoner theory" has? As much evidence as "Our Flag Means Death is perfectly historically accurate".

Stede Bonnet and Blackbeard were traveling in each other's company about 80% of Stede's measly 16-18 months as a pirate. Either on the same ship or sailing their ships together.

As a general rule, pirates didn't keep prisoners. Prisoners eat rations and take up space that pirate ships don't have. They might press a man into service if they captured someone with a skill they needed (doctor, carpenter, etc.). They might hold hostages for ransom in the short term. The longest hostage taking of Blackbeard that we know about is about 8 days and the prisoners were treated well. And allowed to live past multiple deadlines in a comedy of errors that I hope OFMD does at some point. (The blockade and ransom of Charles Town, South Carolina is bananas. And of note, the pirates didn't want money in this exchange, just medicine.)

Skillwise, Stede was bloody useless. He could read. That's it. The library aboard ship is true! And evidence says Blackbeard could read and write, so he didn't need him for that. Stede couldn't sail. He wasn't a very good captain on his own.

Stede was an orphan by the time he set sail and there's no way his wife was going to pay to get him back. Blackbeard did take over Stede's ship for a while when Stede was injured, but he gave it back!! Then they sailed their ships together.

The second time Blackbeard took over Stede's ship, Stede had just messed up and his crew got mutinous. Blackbeard put his quartermaster in charge of Stede's ship and brought Stede over to his ship (by this point he was sailing the Queen Anne's Revenge). He kept him as a "guest of the captain".

For some reason, Blackbeard wanted Stede around. He could have dropped him off at any port. He could have killed him. He could have let Stede's crew kill him. He didn't. He let this rich weirdo live out his pirate fantasies aboard his ship. That's not a prisoner.

Multiple media articles insisting on couching the relationship between Stede and Blackbeard "as probably a prisoner" ignores the facts of the case. It really reads as a "just to be clear, we don't think the pirates were gay" disclaimer and it's as homophobic as it is inaccurate.

I don't know what relationship Stede Bonnet and Edward "Blackbeard" Teach had. No one wrote down anything definitive at the time. But logic points away from the "prisoner" narrative.

[lord-of-the-ducks]

Gotta love how Jim constantly acts like they’re from a completely different show. Like, they’re an orphan who was raised to be a killing machine by a nun so that they could kill the men who killed their family, and all of the scenes regarding this are super dramatic, but then literally any other character will show up and it’s like “oh yeah I’m watching a comedy”

Turns out stede bonnet was an actual real pirate and was actual real pirate friends with mr teach
