Hi guys, good morning. Happy Monday. How are we? I know that we as a community of mostly women are...

We have heavy hearts right now. The decision on Friday to overturn Robe Wade. It's hanging in the air, and it will continue to hang in the air because it is a direct attack on women.

The government, Supreme Court legislators, people in power have repeatedly shown us that they don't care about women's rights or women's lives.

This was the biggest slap in the face of all. I know you know all that. I know we're all exhausted and I know we're scared and we're scared for our sisters who are in the states where abortion is now illegal.

But now is not the time to get complacent. I was on the phone with my mom on Friday and she was just sobbing. She just started sobbing because she remembers the day that they got the right to abortion. She said she was 60 and I think.

She said to have this taken away in her lifetime. In our lifetime is just... I mean we're going backwards. We're going backwards and it's bone chilling. It will disproportionately affect women of color. It will disproportionately affect low-income women.

It's disgusting. I'm outraged and I want to help as much as I can. I know we all do. I'm going to put the link to donate to the abortions funds org, which is now I think where people are trying to get their money to be channeled.

I know there's a lot of great organizations out there, but I think right now that's the one. In terms of what else we can do as a community, I know this might sound counterintuitive, but I now is also the time to be the most open-minded and not shut yourself off from difficult conversations.

The way that change happens and a lot of different ways, but one of the ways it happens is at a grassroots level, is at a community level, is at a brick-by-brick level, is at by talking to a family member who has different views than you and having that different, difficult conversation. It's by voting. It's by activating.

It's certainly not by nitpicking how other people respond to this issue. Most of us are all on the same side. We want the same thing. That's so important because I've just seen the fights kicking off online are just making me sick to my stomach because I don't want anybody to be distracted.

That's what they want. They want us to just sit there and fight amongst ourselves and take our eyes off the ball. It's really horrific. I know that we're still processing. I just feel very ashamed to be in this country right now.

I have not had an abortion, but I have lots of access to Plan B. I've taken it a couple times. I've taken close friends to get abortions.

I was in the shower thinking about those times when I've taken my friends or they've gone to get them. I was thinking how they were still very scared. They were still, it was a big thing for them. We live in California.

All the abortions that I have taken my friends to or gone with them or spoken to them about have been free in most cases, easy access, clean. I thought about still how stressful it was to make the decision. There was so much that went into it.

I thought about the girls who are waking up today in the States where it's illegal now. How fucking utterly terrified they must be. All the women in any different circumstance, how utterly terrified they must be.

I want to channel that. I want to take that. I want to hold space for their fear and I want to channel it into action. I want you guys to do it with me.

I love you guys. I know you're afraid. I know that we're all looking around, being like, what now? But we have to keep moving. Brick by brick.

I want to be here with you the whole way through. We are going to we're going to activate and we're going to fix this throughout my life. Whenever I had have needed relief from mystery anxiety or I want to escape or I just need a break from the world.

I read and I I love to read. I know that's an annoying thing to say because it's, you know, difficult for some people. They can't get into it. I get that. It is the only thing that makes me feel better. Like no matter what my emotion is reading always makes me feel a lot better. And it is significantly reduces my anxiety.

I know it's kind of like going to the gym where if you get out of it, it's kind of hard to get back in. But once you're in, you're just in the zone. I actually find reading a million times easier than going to the gym. So maybe that was a bad comparison.

But late to the party tinks once again finally read the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins read. And I saw the cover of this book. If you haven't seen it, it's pretty iconic at this point. It's a green woman in a green dress.

For some reason I thought it was about Henry VIII. I have no idea why and I was just like, I'm not in the mood for that. And then my friend Jordan was like, wow, this book changed me. Usually I don't like books that everybody else hyped up. And I said, yeah, me too. You know, sometimes it's just irritating when everybody's like, this is the best book ever. You're like, there's no way to best book ever. It is the best book ever. It's the best book ever. It's unbelievable. I read it over the weekend.
