If you’re like “I don’t know anyone who’s had an abortion” what you’re actually saying is:
“No one I know trusts me enough to tell me about their abortion”
Yesterday I took down my posts about how @TSA treated me at @flyLAXairport. I was embarrassed at how emotional I was. I was anxious about the confrontation. So I deleted it.
But they make too many mothers feel this way, so I’m going to talk about it bc this needs to stop 🧵
There’s so much pressure to breastfeed, but @TSA makes it impossible.
It’s yet another system in place that makes it harder for women to get back to work after they’ve started a family.
The lack of training at @TSA is unfairly punishing and harming women.
In the 1960's 11 deaf men helped NASA get to the moon. They were known as the Gallaudet Eleven.
We were able to interview one of their remaining members, David Myers, for my show Xploration Outer Space. A thread.
Yesterday I was humiliated that I had to explain to 3 grown men that my breasts still produce milk when I’m not with my child. Yesterday I was embarrassed telling them about my fear of mastitis if I didn’t pump. Today I’m furious. @TSA
I’m so excited to share that I’ll be flying to space with @blueorigin 💙🪶
I’ll become one of the first ~100 women in space and the first female astronaut from West Virginia.
