The Island of Sea Women by Lisa See, a Book Review Did you know that there is an island called Jeju in South Korea, where women survived as sea divers in the mid-20th century and sustained their families with seafood? Called the haenyeo, these women free-dived into the Sea of Japan wearing cotton suits and masks to grab abalone, squid, and octopus. They held their breath for two to three minutes per dive, reaching depths of 30 to 65 feet, and dove for hours each day, often in cold water.

I love the library! That is exactly what I experience when I go!

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Junk In, Junk Out: What to Expect From the Senate HELP Committee Hearing on Medication Abortion What to expect from the Senate HELP Committee hearing on medication abortion: undermining decades of scientific consensus on the safety of mifepristone

On Jan. 14, a U.S. Senate committee will hold a hearing framed as an inquiry into the safety of medication abortion. In reality, it will be an opportunity for the committee’s antiabortion majority to showcase junk science and misleading narratives to undermine access to mifepristone.

“They just assaulted him. The whole f*cking thing is absurd.”
