On it's own, Sima Auntie saying you have to settle for 60-70% of your checklist is shitty. But in response to a woman adding shit like "Knows pilates" to her list... I'd probably say the same damn thing! 🤷🏽♀️ #IndianMatchmaking

One of my favorite moments of my brother's wedding kickoff weekend - him and dad accidentally twinning.

Rewatching tonight before I head home to Chicago for Part 1 of my brother's big fat Indian wedding feels... right.

Is it just me and my taste in hookups or have men gotten extra whiny about condoms since SCOTUS killed Roe?

Just admit it. Your mind also immediately repeats Zack Morris's 'MVEMJSUNP' whenever you think about the planets.

The first sentence of Eli Lilly's statement is bogus af though. ABORTION ACCESS IS NOT DIVISIVE. If Indiana Republicans had put their abortion ban up for a statewide vote, it would have failed.
Quote Tweet
Wow
After the passage of Indiana’s total abortion ban, Eli Lilly, one of the state’s biggest employers, says they’ll be planning their growth outside the state.
Because DUH how are you going to recruit women, aka HALF the population, to a state that outlaws their health care?!?

Indiana Republicans are *at this very moment* legislating an abortion ban into state law. So, this is a big fat lie.
Quote Tweet
Republican candidates are softening their once-uncompromising stands against abortion after a Kansas vote to defend abortion rights, recognizing that strict bans are unpopular and that the issue may be a major driver in the general election. nyti.ms/3oUtOQw

Right, cause men put new eps of Sex Lives of College Girls in their calendar, and women curl up on the couch with hot cocoa to watch Shark Week.

Never fails to annoy me when someone lets their dog prance right up to my dog on the sidewalk and insists "its ok, they're friendly" even though A. they don't know if mine is and B. theirs starts growling and barking and is clearly NOT.

ABORTION IS NOT A DIVISIVE ISSUE
Quote Tweet
Kansas abortion referendum:
Trump won Franklin County by nearly 40 points in the 2020 election.
Tonight, with virtually all vote reported, "No" is leading by more than 13 points

Americans across the country raised $2 million in a week for abortion rights to stand up to a Republican congressmen.
Kansas just overwhelmingly voted to protect access to abortion.
If abortion isn’t at the top of your campaign list— you need to reevaluate.

Do NOT underestimate how important abortion rights are and how fucking angry people are about losing them. Even in red states. LET'S GOOOOOOO 🙌🏽🔥🗳
Quote Tweet
I've seen enough: in a huge victory for the pro-choice side, the Kansas constitutional amendment to remove protections of abortion rights fails.

Abortion rights activism *IS* mainstream democratic party politics you fucking morons.

This is not the thread you think it is.
It’s not just the death. It’s the police state.

Three weeks ago, I had a miscarriage. I was six weeks pregnant. I live in Texas, a state that has effectively banned abortions.
A thread about what it is to cease to be pregnant in a state where abortions are banned:

"We're not doing it" - Joe
Quote Tweet
To recap last 48 hours, Biden:
1. Wont yet support gutting the filibuster to codify Roe
2. Is skeptical about using federal land in red states for abortion services
3. Has ruled out Court reform
4. Is reportedly set to nominate an anti-abortion GOP lawyer for a federal judgeship twitter.com/mjs_DC/status/…
What we are experiencing is not leadership. It is complicity masquerading as helplessness.

This is ATROCIOUS judgment by the White House. A slap in the face to reproductive rights supporters at the worst possible moment. An act of cowardice and complicity in anti-abortion extremism. Unforgivable on every level.

When the vast majority of the American public support a policy — gun control, abortion rights, gay marriage— that’s not “progressive.” It is by definition the Moderate position.
Our labels have not re-aligned for the reality of modern attitudes.

“Democratic voters will forgive you if you try and later on it turns out a court strikes it down. But at least you tried…What they won’t forgive is if you keep asking them to keep you in power but you don’t at least try to do something with it.”
