Project 2025 and Trump have dropped a high-profile abortion case in Idaho.
What it means: emergency doctors no longer can carry out an emergency abortion to save the woman's life.
All you beautiful and innocent people out there, keep safe. ❤️

The right to bodily autonomy includes data autonomy.
Your #periodtracker shouldn’t turn into a #surveillance tool. If an app asks for your name, location, or other personal info - why?
Unless they’re planning to send you a cake on day one of your cycle (unlikely), they don’t need it.
Use a privacy first period tracker! 🙂

#SCOTUS won’t hear challenge to #AbortionClinic buffer zones
At issue was a 25-year precedent that allows local governments to create protest-free buffer zones around all #health-care facilities, not just #abortion clinics.

Your cycle is personal. Your tracker should be too.
Most apps hoard your data somewhere in the cloud, but a truly secure period tracker encrypts it, stores it locally, and lets you control it completely.
No one should profit from your health. Privacy isn’t paranoia - it’s protection. Make the switch. 🔐

Anxiety isn’t always “all in your head.” It’s in overdue bills, unstable housing, food insecurity.
UBI is about real mental health care - by removing the relentless stress that keeps you up at night. Because you deserve peace. ❤️

Your body, your data, your rules.
No app, government, or company should have access to your cycle info without consent.
With growing concerns about reproductive rights, keeping period data private isn’t just personal - it’s protective. Use encrypted apps that keep your data on your phone and never share your password.
Stay safe you beautiful people 🙂❤️ 🌹

Another thing I'm sick of seeing are all these commercials for erectile dysfunction that use sexually loaded imagery bordering on porn designed to stimulate men while the #GOP wants to make not only #abortion & abortion pills but also #contraception for #women illegal.
Talk about male #GenderBias.
I have 3 family members just like the Senator.
“I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate,” Pohutsky said during the rally, emphasizing that “a sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future.”
Pohutsky said she and her husband decided last year that they were done having children and began exploring options for more permanent forms of birth control, citing her concern after Trump won the election about being able to continue to access the contraception she had been using."
Knowledge is power!
I'm sure you heard this before. Have you ever thought about that knowledge is built on information which is based on data?
Yes, data underpins everything and that is why it is valuable and powerful.
Keep you period data safe. Only you have power over your data and over your body. ❤️

More than half of the Army's senior officers are turning down opportunities to command, choosing instead the stability of staff roles over the high-stakes demands of leadership, or retiring.

Similar to the effect on #WomensHealth of bans on #abortion.
See how that works?

Your menstrual cycle SHOULD NOT be sold. Period.
It should stay private and the data should stay on your device.
Drip is an open source and more importantly, privacy respecting app.
