So a big thanks to our subscribers and a welcome to our new listeners. So y'all, look, if you have not had a chance yet to go to the site, please, please do, because I want to draw your attention to this absolutely stunning essay we published by Rachel Wells. It's all about her abortion after miscarriage and

birth and just, you know, given the conversations that we've had and paired with Caroline Riley's

piece on how the reproductive rights movement needs to do a better job in just embracing sex positivity.

Like, this is this beautiful, robust offering of the ways in which we can just do better

talking about the ways that abortion is part of this whole complete cycle of our sexual selves, Amani. And really, it was one of those

moments as an executive editor where I was like, we didn't totally plan for that to come together.

But wow, when those pieces sing in harmony like that, that was just, it was, it was gorgeous.

So if you haven't had a chance, please check it out. It is lovely. And as our own Caroline Riley would say, abortion is for sluts too. It is. It is. It is. Abortion is for everyone. It was really just two great, great pieces. And also, oh my gosh, I'm a little excited about this. I mean, yes, I've been obsessing about some of the content. But we are coming up on the six-month anniversary of SB8 taking effect. Like, first of all. First of all, what? How? How do we just do that at the same time? Our brains are in sync. It's weird. Absolutely. In sync. So wild. But yeah, so this is like not a great anniversary, but one that we do absolutely need to mark. And as a result of it, we've got some really special content plan starting this week. Andrea Grimes has a piece up for it. Hold on to your butts. I wrote a piece. Woo! Like, truly, I did. It's amazing. Amani,

you are taking a whack at this anniversary. Yep, yep. Our social platforms are going to be popping.

Like booties, booty popping. It's great. It's great. So if we have to sort of mark this really dark moment in our constitutional crisis, then we're going to do it with some pretty kick-ass content. So we're going to do it with some jazz hands and some spirit fingers because times may be tough, but that doesn't mean we have to lose our positivity. And that doesn't mean that we don't do jazz hands.
