Any day or night
Today…
is Abortion Provider Appreciation Day (#CelebrateAbortionProviders), which marks the 1993 killing of provider Dr. David Gunn.
is National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (#NWGHAAD)
is Landline Telephone Day, and oh, I don’t care I don’t care if it ages me, I am keeping my landline because it is so much easier to hold as I walk around the apartment, and I hear the whole conversation. “Someone’s breaking up.” 100% you, baby, ‘cause I’m on a landline.
