Almost daily I talk with people who travel hundreds of miles for #abortion care, but this map better than anything else I’ve seen depicts the landscape of care that drives the stories of these individuals, as well as the stories of people providing abortion care along the borders of ban states. #uspol https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/06/21/1183248911/abortion-access-distance-to-care-travel-miles
Whoah! Literally: “A U.S. judge has ordered Canadian energy company #Enbridge to shutter portions of an oil pipeline that runs through [Bad River Band’s] tribal land in Wisconsin within three years and to pay the tribe nearly $5.2 million for trespassing plus a portion of its profits until the shutdown is completed.” https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-judge-orders-enbridge-shut-down-portions-wisconsin-pipeline-within-3-years-2023-06-17/

The fight isn’t over, but I can’t help but feel relieved at this favorable decision on the case I’ve been watching most closely this #scotus session. #ICWA #uspol https://www.npr.org/2023/06/15/1182121455/indian-child-welfare-act-supreme-court-decision

Just gave an enema to someone who told me a first hand account of watching the firebombing of Dresden during WWII. There is nothing that touches the richness and depth of end of life and #hospice work. #elders are fucking amazing. #MedMastodon

If you have a vagina stay away from hospitals with names that begin with Saint.

My takeaway from the last year working in #abortion and reproductive health.

@IronCurtain I just posted a nearly identical toot endorsing This Land as a door to understanding a super crucial case impacting Native sovereignty! For those reading - I couldn’t endorse this more! Rebecca Nagle’s reporting and storytelling are phenomenal in this podcast. Highly highly recommend. Boost and listen!

@ohmu @indigenous_commentator It's far too complicated for a toot or a tweet. If you haven't already, I suggest you listen to season two of the This Land podcast hosted by Rebecca Nagle. You'll understand everything after listening. 🙂

These small islands are ubiquitous in SE Alaska. The SE comprises most of the Alexander Archipelago.

We have a LOT of islands!

We were in the lee of Biorca Island when I took this pic.

There's something about those trees, clinging stubbornly to huge, inhospitable boulders...
