Women have six weeks from their last period to catch a pregnancy and have an early abortion, and they damn well need to be given the means to do so.

Pregnancy tests need to be as normal as air from now on. Wake up, morning pee? Perfect. Hold a stick in there while you’re doing it.

We gotta facilitate this somehow. Pregnancy tests can only detect anything 1-2 weeks after conception.

Another thing.

Anyone sued under this Texas law found to have acted within their 6 week time limit will then have to be paid the sum of money the person suing them was claiming.

Anyone who takes a woman to court for this better be damn fucking sure exactly when her last menstrual period was or they have to cough up what they’re demanding.

No. Double. Triple.

One million dollars. Ten million dollars. They’re can’t object, surely they’re certain? They’re so certain, they don’t need to worry about ever paying ten million dollars.

This cool little website, called readlang, allows you to upload your book, in your target language, from epub form into their website, right? And you just read your book from there. When you don’t know a word, what do you do? Do you go to google dot com and type in that word? Nope. You fucking click it. And it tells you the word. 

Very Gentle Writing does not set staggering word count goals and then feel bad about it. No! Very Gentle Writing for me sets an extremely low word count and then feels magnificently productive when the low bar is exceeded (which is easy…it’s a low bar, I mean really low). 

Very Gentle Writing is about saying hey yo maybe I just want to listen to a chill playlist for a while and feel one sentence spill out. Go me! 

Very Gentle Writing is kind of about realizing I have a really limited amount of time to write in between work, and adulting, and taking care of a thousand life responsibilities, and trying to heal&deal from trauma in 2020. So I want that writing time to be….just…..nice. 

Very Gentle Writing means I have a goal of enjoying every single time I sit down to write. Really. I use all the fun words first. 

A friend of mine with a passion for folklore and small presses recently introduced me to Inhabit Media, and I’m so glad to have had a chance to peruse these books. 

Inhabit Media is an Inuit-owned publishing company based in Iqaluit, Nunavut (i.e. very very very North). They are dedicated to preserving and promoting the stories, knowledge, culture, and language of the Inuit and of Northern Canada, and they publish a range of books for children and adults that include contemporary and historical fiction, folklore and legends retold and beautifully illustrated, and non-fiction on history, science, and arctic life.
