i am like. so fucked up right now lol. no sleep no food no effective antiemetics. i finally had to begrudgingly wake up my mom because naturally everyone else was also asleep so now i do have electrolytes.
well whatever this is it's not a reaction to dairy and even though the promethazine kicked in i'm pretty sure i'm getting a fever
promethazine made me woozy but has not actually stopped the nausea. sorry but my abdominal muscles are so fucked right now this is unreal lol
ooooh i shouldn't have eaten that ice cream
this is perhaps the most i have suffered from eating dairy in my life. why god

‘New Trees’ (2012) ph. Robert Voit
Voit's photographed cell phone towers camouflaged as trees across multiple countries, from Britain to the US and South Africa. In pursuit of seamless connectivity, there is a strong public objection to the unsightly appearance of bare cell phone towers. As a result, many companies opt to disguise these towers as trees, church steeples, flag poles, water tanks, and various other structures. These are widely known as "stealth towers" or "stealth installations."
TIME SENSITIVE ACTION REQUEST!!: can you my beautiful artists/clever people on tumblr make us some abortion button designs this weekend? To sell to raise money for Mountain Access Brigade, a collective of abortion doulas funding access to abortion in east tennessee?
I’m tabling a week from today at Stoopfest in Lansing, which will be headlined this year by Jhariah, R.A.P Ferreira, Weakened Friends, and Direct Hit!. I’m tabling with the Lansing DSA Women’s Section (working title) as well as a coalition of other women organizing with leftist orgs in Lansing (we don’t have a name yet but we call them “the girlies”). We’re looking to hit $5k on our fundraiser by the end of the month, but equally importantly, I’m tabling to meet people who want to plug into projects we’re getting off the ground to organize to defeat transphobic homophobic and anti-abortion power in Lansing, especially (my baby pet project if you know me irl!) launching our campaign to chase out and shut down the anti-abortion fake clinics in the city.
Here’s our fundraising page, you can donate and share (please!) but you should also read it to get a sense of how we talk about our vision:
So I need YOU to design abortion loving buttons for me to make to sell for the fundraiser and start conversations that connect people :). Please help lol. The vibe is queer, mutual aidy, creative! Many of the girls I’m going with are harm reduction activists and passionate about self management and self controlled healthcare.
We have a lot of fun/funny ones made already but we need more sweet/straightforward ones that inspire people and ground the sloganing in our principles. Some wording you can use in your designs (but please feel free to think of others)/some jumping off points/guidance:
- abortion is magic
- abortion access (or just access) saves lives
- we use the term “reproductive freedom” as a matter of practice (pro-choice and reproductive justice are okay, but we love this one)
- “bodily autonomy” is another one we orient around
- pro “repro worker” slogans (“i <3 repro workers” always good)
- “i fund abortion”
- tying in safer sex slogans (would love something like this in an 80s/90s safe sex campaign style)
- harm reduction/mutual aid framing (would looove some good ideas here)
- i REALLY want to come with something about bisexual women being statistically most likely to have an abortion (one of my favorite communist conversation starters irl) - in general messages about queer people getting abortions is a vibe!
- we don’t use “women” when referring to who gets abortions but feminist messaging is great. I’d stay away from body parts as imagery
- the classic, “i love abortion”
- slogan-free imagery that supports the vibe
- Y’allidarity :):):)
- This line from a lead organizer with DSA’s Trans Rights and Bodily Autonomy Campaign has stuck with me as a guide, it really gets at the core of this work for me: “In a political climate characterized by fear and isolation, our voice is steady, loving, direct, and shows courage in our democratic socialist convictions.”
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
- Make me some designs on a 2.25 inch circle button template (im a design idiot and need help) in whatever file format and give me permission to print them and turn them into buttons to sell for the fundraiser. THEY DONT HAVE TO BE AMAZING LOOOKING! email me at rikki.g.reynolds@gmail.com
- reply to this post with specific wording ideas if the above inspires you!
- share this post :) and hit up your designer friends who have time this weekend! abortion fund-a-thon is about making hard asks of your friends who can help, and you’ll be glad you did.
- if you want to help promote this fundraiser on your own socials or somewhere else, feel free but you can also dm me for ideas!
Sorry for the last minute (this is why I’m really calling on tumblr GOATs), but I would loooooove to make buttons next MONDAY or possibly as late as Wednesday— I’ll edit this post when I know for sure. It’s an emergency! But you’ll be saving lives!
What can I do for you?
If you ask, I can post pictures on twitter and tag you if you want some traffic (some of our posts get a little traffic). I can PROBABLY also send you a finished button of your design after fund a thon season (May) is over but I don’t want to make that promise for certain yet.
ty!!!
