How to Get A Safe Abortion, No Matter How Far Along You Are or How Much Money You Have

Financial aid for abortions
prochoice.org has a list for each state of NAF funded clinics and free hotlines for information.
WomenOnWeb.org and WomenOnWaves.org will ship you an abortion pill if it is illegal to get an abortion in your country.
If you are American and use a period tracker app, download your data and delete it.
"News coverage of digital forensics often celebrates its role in prosecuting serious felonies. But when it comes to reproductive rights, Conti-Cook says, the same tools “will be a powerful [asset] to police and prosecutors in a more criminalized landscape” for abortion seekers." [Mother Jones]
"Unlike medical records held by doctors and hospitals, the information collected by health-focused apps isn’t covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a 1996 federal law that limits where healthcare providers can share your health information.
That means health app makers are mostly free to do what they want with the data they collect. [...]
What’s more, even when your data is de-identified by removing identifiable information such as your name or email address, it can be combined with other information—such as your location, contacts, or unique identifiers in your phone—and traced back to you, research suggests." [Consumer Reports]
Twitter thread from user @nandoodles about men in adtech who want to sell your period app data to law enforcement:
If you don't think these people won't use your data against you, I advise you to reconsider in light of Texas's offering bounties. And that there's other states considering offering bounties and vigilantism as well.
I'm sorry, this is not fair and I know it's a pain in the ass to have to note all your info yourself in a journal, but it's better to NOT give these people another tool to exert control over the bodies of people possessing the potential (regardless of how remote) for pregnancy.
Also: support your local abortion funds. Cash is a more difficult trail to follow. https://abortionfunds.org/ways-to-give/

If you support people sending or making posts about others that someone should end their own lives.
Unfollow me rn.
I don’t care about who is right and who is wrong. Making posts about someone should end their own lives and being angry or cheerful about is HIGHLY unacceptable, disturbing and no laughing matter what’s so ever. WE ALL SHOULD KNOW THAT BY NOW. There is no fucking excuse for it. People actually end their own lives, even it’s the littlest of things. The fact some make excuses about how funny it is to say those things is DISGUSTING. I’ve lost someone online long ago and I will never forget it. If you read this and brush it off. It says a lot about you than anything. You don’t care about people. You are worse than garbage.
Be actual better people.
For those that are wondering what happened to Laizy/Laizy_boy04, the truth of the matter is yesterday (4/30/22) that they were systemically group harassed and threatened by a group of individuals on twitter until they were backed into a corner and felt unsafe to the point that they deleted their accounts on DeviantART, Twitter, and Tumblr and privated their Insta account. The epicenter of this harassment is an individual that goes by the name of @/biackwashing (on twitter) or @/kiyoishereig (on tumblr)
Now, I need to say this very loudly and very clearly right now: this person is not a good person, and if you see this person on any platform you need to block it. Do not trust or interact with this person. It openly manipulates both the people it interacts with and its followers, twisting words and posts into vilifying the person on the other side of the screen in order to generate outrage clout, and has been seeing doing this to random people on both twitter and tumblr time and time again.
This individual claims to be a pinnacle of black LGBT protection, anti pedophilia, antiproshipping, etc, but at the same time this person is incredibly dangerous, toxic, and hostile who in the same breath is somehow very racist, transphobic, misandrist, and openly spews TERF propaganda whether it believes it or not.
More information below the readmore. CW for racism, sexism/misandry, transmascphobia, TERF propaganda

Until now, suggested tags were automatically generated when a user searched your blog via the new blog view, or from the blog archive. However, over time this list of tags may have diverged from your blog’s real interests. This isn’t always practical, especially for blogs that have been around for a while, with tags from deleted posts still showing up. Now, you can set your top tags to whatever you want them to be in your Popular Tags and Blog Archive Page. #Squop, #glongo, #plip? All acceptable.
Why this change?
This feature has been widely requested. We understand that you have all grown with Tumblr over the years, and your interests will have probably changed, too. Some of you find the presence of old tags in your top tags list uncomfortable; for some, they interfere with the sense of order on your blogs. Others are simply excited about new customization options.
Cool—how do I use featured tags?
On web: Head to the account icon in the top-right corner of your dash, and select “Edit Appearance” from the drop-down menu for the blog you want to add featured tags to. Click on the pen icon next to “Featured Tags” to add up to 10 tags of choice. These will now appear in your popular tags in the blog view and be listed in your archive.
Featured tags will be available to everyone on the web from today, April 19. We’re also currently working on a rollout to iOS and Android.
Any questions? Drop us a line on @wip or Support, and keep an eye out for the mobile rollout on @changes.

Don't apologize if you disappear for a few weeks, months, or even longer. We've done it too. You probably didn't even notice, and that's okay. Take your time.
Don't feel guilty if you had a regular posting schedule and you can't make your self-imposed deadline or if you can't keep up that pace and need to start posting less frequently. We understand, life gets in the way and the muses can be fickle. You don't owe us anything.
Don't worry if you don't reply fast enough. You'll get to it when you'll get to it. You probably haven't even seen it yet. We will not think less of you.
Don't feel bad if you don't want to reply to something at all, ever, because it triggers you, because you don't want more drama in your life, or because you just don't have the energy to reply. Whatever they are, your reasons are valid. And the other person has probably forgotten about it anyway by now.
Feel free to add other things!
I'm seeking a little bit of validation curious.
This also includes posting your work with modifications (changing the tenses, changing the character names but leaving the rest unchanged, translating to a language you do not speak, rewriting every other sentence, etc).
I will only be looking at the number of Reblogs on this because, as we all know, Likes mean nothing on Tumblr.

alright im just gonna say it, because im tired and my brain filter has already gone to sleep for the night
i used to read smut as a minor, you used to read smut as a minor, your fav authors used to read smut as minors, and minors still read smut today. there is no way we can prevent or change this.
but you know what i DIDN'T do when reading smut as a minor? interact with it or the authors. i kept to myself, got my fill, and then stayed away. it really wasn't hard.
whether or not minors should read smut at all is debatable. on the one hand, it can be a fun and safe way to explore your sexuality through fantasy, rather than going out there and catching STIs and getting pregnant. on the other, the smut fanfic corner of the internet is vast and largely unmoderated; it is likely you will stumble upon topics/kinks/stories that can be traumatic or harmful to some individuals. reading about fictional sex and intimacy may also create unrealistic expectations about real-life sex and intimacy.
but regardless of the moral/ethical intricacies of minors reading smut, the fact remains that teens are very often horny, and once a horny teen sets their mind to reading smutty fic about their favorite characters, there's nothing we can do to stop them.
then, what can we do? well, a few things:
- we can maintain our boundaries and continue to block minors and ageless blogs that follow us
- we can continue to impress upon minors who stumble upon our blogs the importance of respecting those boundaries
- we can continue to tag our smutty fanfic thoroughly and appropriately, so people can avoid things that they know will be harmful for them to read
- we can continue having discussions about fantasy vs reality, and what is and is not healthy in a real-life sexual or intimate scenario/relationship
in my opinion, shaming minors for reading smut altogether only does more harm than good - the more a kid is shamed for their sexuality, the more they try to hide it and the more likely they are to engage in risky sex. that doesn't mean we shouldn't shame them for not respecting a DNI boundary.
i don't have a witty, cutting conclusion to this rant, so i'll conclude by saying that i think the only way to protect everyone best is to be realistic, firm, and kind in the manner in which we address this issue. shaming kids for being horny isn't gonna get us anywhere at all.
Need help with theme ideas,also working on some ayato smut since he is my first character to lv 90. Feel free to comment on this post for theme suggestions or just send an ask
hi im bitter about people not commenting on fics. im sad seeing all these authors get so discouraged because no one comments. it takes like 5 seconds! just do it!! dont know what to type? me neither! heres some handy pre-written comments for you! “I dont know what to comment! That was great! thank you for your hard work!” “That was lovely! I really enjoyed this chapter/fic.” “How dare you?” “AAAAAAAAAAAAA” “Extra kudos because one is not enough!” if you read a fic and dont know what to say, leave the tab open, come back later! see if theres a line you really liked! tell them if it reminded you of something dumb! tell them if your roommate saw you crying while reading it and now your roommate is reading it!!! SHARE WHATEVER. BE INCLUSIVE! everyone wants to hear SOMETHING. silence kills passion. show authors you care! show artists you care!!!!
if you’re having a bad day, here’s a cute little marching band
This woman and her family are STARVING, they are in a situation that has been THREATENING their lives. Robbie Lee aka @diehardblm feels like she has no hope and she feels HELPLESS. What if you were in her situation right now? It would be so horrible for anybody to be going through this right now but these people are going through this RIGHT NOW. I first started talking to her in January when she messaged me and she thanked me for sharing her post. But while we talked in February. She talked to me again on March 11th. Things only have gotten worse for these people.
Here is a screenshot of what she messaged me a few hours ago.
