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”

Fair warning that if you comment anti pro choice stuff I might just figure out which state you live in and donate to abortion funds in your area. 🫶🏻

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 🧵

Debunking viral TikToks, a thread. First up, the one I see the most often. The battery that creates a water tornado.

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.

Uh oh Harrison Butker, looks like all those “diabolical lies” brought me to this stage 😉
