Pro-Choice: what being it actually means by K E Garland
Happiness Between Tails by da-AL
“Everybody’s a teacher if you listen.” — Doris Roberts; actress, author, and philanthropist.
When I posted, “My Abortion Story + Jury Service Pt 2,” I neglected to tell you something important; were it not for Kathy Garland’s courageous and honest blog post that you’ll find below, I might not have published it. (Her account first appeared at PULPMag on Feb. 13, 2020.) Perhaps you remember Kathy from when she was a prior guest at Happiness Between Tails?
Below, she mentions Planned Parenthood. Funding for the organization was signed into law by President Richard Nixon who decreed, “no American woman should be denied access to family planning assistance because of her economic condition.” Planned Parenthood provides far more than abortions. The agency is committed to giving affordable reproductive health care to all genders, all ages, all over the world. They offer sex education, cervical cancer screenings, contraception including vasectomies…

The Amazons of Dahomey: They were the world’s only female army – The Washington Post
The women on the front lines of safeguarding the Amazon
In August 2020, Mongabay reporters spoke with the Guajajara “women warriors” of the Brazilian Amazon (guerreiras da floresta), a group of 32 Indigenous women employing 500 years of experience along with satellite technology, cameras and drones to patrol and protect the Caru Indigenous Reserve. This resulted in a decrease of deforestation in the reserve, from 2,000 hectares (4,940 acres) in 2016, to only 63 hectares (155 acres) in 2018. This story also had a dedicated podcast episode and a short-form video. Listen to the podcast here: Source: The women on the front lines of safeguarding the Amazon

Let There Be Consequences
Y’know … some mornings I wake up and wonder what alternative world I have stumbled into. Nothing is as it once seemed, norms that I’ve known for some 7 decades have been shattered, replaced by utter stupidity and conspiracy theories, and I am not sure how to cope with this not-so-brave new world. It’s tempting to simply stay in bed surrounded by books, disconnect from the rest of the world, and never come out of my cocoon. In the past, I have mocked people for doing just that, but now … I understand. When it seems we have absolutely zero control over what is happening in the world, when the minority are paving the way to chaos while the majority sit quietly on the sidelines wringing their hands, I wonder just how much longer this nation can survive.
I did manage to find one sign that there is still a…

Is The ‘Northern Alliance’ Reborn?
We all have seen the stories of the collapse of Afghanistan and the horrific chaos that has ensued.
Some have asked just how the collapse of the Afghan army was possible with 20 years of training and equipment and money ($2.3 trillion) spent……the MSM is spending lots of endless hours looking at what went wrong and the crush of people trying to leave the country….but none are asking about the brave Afghans that will stand up to the Taleban….
Is there anybody that will stand up to the Taleban?
Back in the days of Soviet occupation of Afghanistan there was a small but very successful group that was called the ‘Northern Alliance’.
This is for the youngsters out there that have no damn idea what I am talking about….
Since early 1999, Ahmad Shah Massoud was the only main leader able to defend his territory against the Taliban, and as…
