ASMR has been part of my wind-down routine since my dorm days, so partnering with one of my fave creators on this approach to birth control education was such a personal win.
Check it out now, headphones recommended 🙂↕️👇

Happy #ThxBirthControl Day! I’m so proud to support this campaign for so long and have loved watching it evolved over the years.
Research shows that storytelling is one of the most powerful tools for shifting public opinion. Share your birth control story NOW!

📢 Today marks #ThxBirthControl Day! At a time when fearmongering about birth control is at an all time high, let's remember there are endless reasons someone may need access to contraception.
🧡 Birth control is safe, effective and our right!
The same voices coming after abortion are ALSO targeting birth control.
Storytelling has the power to help change policy. Share why you say #ThxBirthControl to make clear what’s at stake when access is threatened. ⤵️
After years of being told to “just deal with it,” I finally found a provider who offered anesthesia for my IUD swap.
It was ridiculous how often I dismissed by providers, so I wrote about what it took to get the care I needed for Bedsider Providers 🤝🔗

More on the impact of our content:
Anti-birth control content IS NOT about empowerment.
It’s a mix of grifters selling BS products, people insisting negative side effects equate to danger,
and lies dressed up as wellness tips.
Whether they’re selling supplements or shame, the goal is the same: Less choice and more control.
Today’s good deed: supporting our new AbortionFinder account over on the clock app 💜 cause I worked really hard on it 🥺
We’re up against CONSTANT censorship and algorithm suppression, but reaching people where they are matters more than ever 🚨
Every follow helps us reach more FYPs, and you'll get some damn good content as a reward 🙏💜 #AbortionIsHealthCare
The world feels like a hot mess most days, and it can be HARD to cut through the noise.

If I got pregnant, the first time I… got nasty that kid would be 14 years old right now 😟
Literally can’t even imagine how much my life would fucking suck 😫 #thxbirthcontrol
Wrapping up Q1 and realized we kicked some SERIOUS social butt over the last few months 👀
Check out how our org's content is sparking conversations and making a real impact:
“My baby is dead, they know it, and I’m still being forced to wait.”
THIS IS THE REALITY OF WHAT ABORTION BAN DO TO PREGNANT PEOPLE.
Cruelty is the point.

Abortion is common and people who have abortions are experiencing a NORMAL part of life.
The crowd who is obsessed with what OTHER people with their own bodies are weird ones.

March 10 is Abortion Provider Appreciation Day.
With increasing attacks on abortion and the people who provide them, we talked to abortion providers across the U.S. about what they want their communities to know and what keeps them motivated to continue the work.
Digital illustration of a large group of people of different ages, races, genders, sexualities and abilities. Text reads. 'Abortion saves lives.'
Y’all! It's National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers!
Today is a day to #CelebrateAbortionProviders, including physicians, clinic staff, doulas, clinic escorts and others- for their work providing high quality care amidst unprecedented political attacks & hostility.
that the decision to single out, detain &persecute someone for their political speech was made by those at the highest levels is the purest distillation of fascism. so many dems are silent bc, by framing anti-genocide speech as antisemitic for over a year, they helped create the conditions for this
Don’t feed the trolls, it only makes them uglier (somehow still possible in Jenny’s case, shockingly enough)
Abortion providers show up to work with compassion & courage to make it possible for patient to shape their own lives. And they do this despite the increasing attacks on them for doing their jobs!
Grateful for their care today and always. 💜 #CelebrateAbortionProviders
What it feels like to talk about loving your hormonal birth control on TikTok 🥲 #TeamIUD #ThxBirthControl
So yeah love how even a rumor of being a “bitch” is more vilified than committing actual crimes
sometimes my job is so sad and hard but also everyday i'm reminded why i do this work and it's because people have abortions and people who provide or support abortion seekers are actually the best people on the planet, ever, ever
