Good one. So many possibilities for immunity. The next woman President could buy contraception in any state to ensure her full attention on her role; or if she carried the baby but had complications, she could get lifesaving care.

Hi! So I'm L, I do a lot in SFF and one of those things I do is run the Ignyte Awards. We're a spec lit award centering the perspectives/contributions of BIPOC in genre. We came about because existing legacy institutions sustain(ed) practices disrespectful or exclusionary of marginalized creators.

Said something snarky ages ago to some Republican politicking on the old place and was reported by the new wave of angry people. Suspended, but over it. Took a break. This looks nice. My topics: Books, writing, science, nature, saving democracy, equality for all. Say hi! I miss a bunch of you.
