Thanks Guardian US for the commission and the many Wampanoag people - from the Mashpee Wampanoag , Aquinnah and Herring Pond Wampanoag Tribe tribes- who took the time to talk to me including Kisha James - the granddaughter of Wamsutta Frank James who founded the National Day of Mourning in 1970

✨ BIG NEWS ✨ FERTILITY EQUALITY 🌈 Today it's been announced by the government that same-sex female couples will NO LONGER have to self-fund fertility treatments in England. The barrier to PROVING infertility before receiving help on the NHS has been removed...

Also a big thank you to Alice Hutton for championing and helping us to create awareness since 2020 and Baroness Liz Barker for raising the issue in Parliament.

This is amazing 😂

Whole generations of adults were lost to institutionalization. They were warehoused, hidden away, forgotten. So many of us colluded in their erasure. This piece is my small attempt to un-erase one of them. 8/8 theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
