We recorded this episode before Friday's hideous Supreme Court Roe v Wade decision but still discuss just how regressive this summer already felt — from the threat of nuclear war/fighting Russia to the abortion rights rollback; from Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's reunion to the overwhelming success of Top Gun2—what decade is it even? Where are we? Does time have meaning? Plus: the open marriage conundrum, does quality inexpensive skincare exist?, what happens when you type "58 year old makeover" into Google, why we all need to get on board with trans kids' rights FFS(!), moving past "compare and despair," and talking honestly about the indignities of aging, no matter what the haters say.

Instead of stewing in our collective outrage (and fury!) over the recently-leaked Supreme Court decision regarding Roe v Wade, now seems like a good time to talk about action. Our guests today — Rebecca Hart Holder and Jen Bluestein — have spent much of their careers fighting for abortion rights and reproductive equity. Rebecca is the executive director of Reproductive Equity Now and Jen is the former managing director of NARAL Prochoice America and the current senior director of policy and advocacy at the Schusterman family philanthropies. In today's episode, the two explain in simple, straightforward terms where we are with abortion rights now and the best ways to channel our righteous pro-choice rage in order to actually make a difference.Show notes for this episode/resources for protecting and expanding abortion access nationwide:National Network of Abortion FundsReproductive Equity NowIndivisible To find and support local clinics:Abortion Care Network**some listeners found this Google Doc useful as well: How to Show up For Abortion Access See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
