It’s 95 degrees out at 10pm and we have been without power for over 2 hours in case you’re wondering what kind of a shit show @GregAbbott_TX is running these days. Tried to call my mom to see if she had power (she’s 25 miles away in Austin) but Verizon also had no service. I did not try 911, but I’m guessing it also didn’t work.

My OB/Gyn started a new group practice one month ago in Austin. He told me that between midnight and 6am today, their office received 22 online requests for tubal ligations. In 6 hours. When most people are sleeping. The ladies are NOT okay. My OB/Gyn for 12 years is Dr. Tyler Handcock 🏳️‍🌈 at Women’s Health Domain in Austin. He’s willing to talk tubal ligation with anyone 21 and up. Those are Medicaid & insurance-imposed age restrictions (another topic). Message online and tell him I sent you.
