Well, well, well. Look who suddenly remembers what dopamine feels like. After an election week spent refreshing our phones like lab rats with unlimited data plans, we have feelings. Hope? Joy? The unfamiliar sensation of unclenching a butt cheek? 🍑😖
But before we make “THE VIBES ARE HEALING” our entire political strategy, we have some questions. Starting with: ABORTION. How will these new majorities stop bad stuff? And does it come with actual rights, or are those sold separately?
This week on Feminist Buzzkills, we’re going to cover it all from ballot initiatives to busting the patriarchy with facts, feelings, and some deeply necessary petty bullshit about the enemies of change.
New Feminist Buzzkills Episode: Drops TODAY!
On The Agenda:
Does this 🌊bluenami 🌊 mean we get our abortion rights back? Or are we celebrating while the Trump administration keeps trying to turn our medicine cabinets into a federal crime scene?
Why are we so horny for certain attorneys general races? Beyond the erotic possibility of never having to think about Ken Paxton again. We’re talking governors, state legislatures, and AGs: the people whose job descriptions deserve at least as much attention as their concession-face screenshots.
How do we turn election wins into actual abortion access? Because “we won!” and “your appointment is confirmed,” are two very different sentences, and we’re interested in the second one.
Which new governor was a Prada runway model? Finally, a legitimate reason for us to scream “WERK” during an election debrief.
We’re celebrating. We’re being petty. We’re asking what these wins actually make possible and what still stands between people and the abortions they need.
What we are not doing is putting our feet up and trusting politicians to handle it. Babe. We have met politicians.
Your vote was not a permission slip for them to spend the next two years emailing you “we’re deeply concerned.” We’re talking about who has power, what we need them to do with it, and how we make ourselves spectacularly inconvenient until they do.
It’s More Important Than Ever To Fight Back! Here’s How:
Now that we’ve given you the really good and the absolute shit news for the week, here are a couple of ways YOU can plug in to the pro-abobo task force:

Love, rage, and cautiously unclenched cheeks,
XO Lizz, Moji & Team Abortion AF
