At the Cut: [What You Can Do to Help Women in States With Extreme Abortion Bans.](https://www.thecut.com/2019/05/how-to-help-alabama-6-week-abortion-ban-georgia.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (I personally [gave to the Yellowhammer Fund](https://yellowhammerfund.org/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).) Also very well done, at The Cut, from Rebecca Traister: [Our Fury Over Abortion Was Dismissed for Decades As Hysterical.](https://www.thecut.com/2019/05/how-extreme-abortion-bans-in-alabama-and-georgia-happened.html??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (The kicker on this piece is great, and you should read the whole thing, but here it is: "Above all, do not let defeat or despair take you, and do not let anyone tell you that your anger is misplaced or silly or in vain, or that it is anything other than urgent and motivating. It may be terrifying — it *is* terrifying. But this — the fury and the fight it must fuel — is going to last the rest of our lives and we must get comfortable using our rage as central to the work ahead." Drew Magary is a damn good writer. [He wrote about the extremely serious medical crisis he suffered late last year for Deadspin](https://theconcourse.deadspin.com/the-night-the-lights-went-out-1834298070??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).

I'm just going to quote from her email: "The fundraiser is to support a refugee family arriving in Victoria later this year, and it's 100% fug nation material: we'll have a curated sale of secondhand women's office wear, a braid bar, short hair styling, skincare, makeup, RMT massage, custom calligraphy, and a major raffle table and door prizes.
