The Emma Goldman Clinic Wants to Hear About Your Experience
I received an email a few days ago from the Medicaid Organizer for The Emma Goldman Clinic in Iowa City, IA. The clinic is starting an abortion stories project detailing the personal experiences of women who experienced financial setbacks or barriers any time in the process of seeking an abortion in Iowa.
The clinic is a non-profit, feminist reproductive health clinic who are doing all they can to ensure that all women receive the reproductive health care that they need regardless of their financial state.
If you are a woman who has experienced financial setbacks or barriers due to having an abortion in Iowa, The Emma Goldman Clinic is asking for your stories. The site goes into detail on ways that you can help share your story, either publicly or privately. In order to share your story, please go here or email emmagoldmanclinic@gmail.com.

Sex-Positivity
I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.
Out Campaign
The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
As the Clinic’s Medicaid Organizer has indicated at Feministe, the request for stories is not restricted to those women who actually had abortions. Rather, the clinic is also interested in stories from women who were compelled to give birth due to financial hardship.
I’ve also suggested that it might be a good idea to solicit stories from grandparents who are being forced to raise unplanned grandchildren after their daughters were financially compelled to give birth. Studies show that unplanned surrogate parenting is emotionally and physically draining. The generation gap is larger than between parent and child, questions regarding legal rights can cause complications, and the burden often leads to the abandoment of leisure and retirement pursuits.

I think, technically speaking, we don't as much get our books “published” as “printed”. When we have something we need printed, we just send it to a local printer. When we get them printed, we then do the publicizing for it, and distribute it ourselves. (Real “publishing” usually involves having a publishing house take your book, then they do all the printing, publicizing, and selling/distributing.) If you're looking to go more our route for getting your book published, you should talk with local printers on the cost for producing your book.

I have an important question. You mentioned that you chose to ignore ring settings in this paper enigma machine. I have been trying to get the ring settings working by cutting each paper strip in half and shifting the right side by the appropriate ring offset..eg to the 2nd position if the ring is B offset. If all the examples have a GAAA and RAAA setting, I get the paper enigma to match the enigma simulators, but if I try any ring offset, the results don’t match. I went to the rotor details in Wikipedia and tried to replicate their results with GAAA and RBBB to get EWTYX to no avail. Could you please help tell me how you would get this to work right if I cut your strips in half and rotate 6 different rings instead of 3?
