@wondersammy I Too Want To Be Squished Like A Marshmallow

and just like that i don’t care what happens in ukraine anymore. does that mean i think what putin is doing is right? no however it means that i forgot we were talking about white people who most likely feel that being white, blonde, blue-eyed, european and christian makes them better than everyone else and therefore should not have to suffer. white people who are actively abusing black and other poc in their country during this time. so fuck’em. whatever happens happens but clearly i was too quick to care and support.

Poseidon: but don't tell him he can breathe underwater except very cryptically

Poseidon: yell at him to breathe a few times

Poseidon: that ought to work

Period Trackes - Clue

o in light of RvW being repealed, a lot of people have been worried about their period trackers being used against them. I’m not personally in the US so I’m not in danger on that front, but I do want to stand in support with those who are. But on the other hand, my tracker keeps track of my dates, meaning I’m not surprised when It’s Time anymore. It’s just very nice to know when I need to have my stuff on hand, yknow? And I’m not NT enough to do that on my own. So I asked them.

Hello Clue,

The SCOTUS recently repealed Roe v Wade, as I’m sure you know. Some US states have already started making abortions illegal. There is -well founded- concern over women being prosecuted over having “secretly had an abortion”, and data from period tracking apps being used to support these accusations. What is Clue doing to prevent users’ data from being used against them?

Sincerely,

(and then my name but I cropped that out for obvious reasons)

I think the Clue’s Response to Roe vs Wade is particularly relevant here (I’d tried to find it on their website, don’t know why I couldn’t before now). I am by literally every means not a lawyer, so I can’t tell if any of this is legal enough for people to feel safe using Clue. But. idk, maybe if you benefit from using a tracker, consider using this one.
