We’re asking readers to not engage in any @nytimes platforms tomorrow and stand with us on the digital picket line! Read local news. Listen to public radio. Make something from a cookbook. Break your Wordle streak.

We know you’re occupied with Election Day chaos, so let us help: It’s anti-abortion, not pro-life; pro–abortion rights, not pro-choice; “reelect” doesn’t use a hyphen, and the term you’re looking for to describe US politics is spelled “shitshow.” 🗳️

Today, a cis woman coworker from another department saw me headed into the bathroom. She was headed there as well. She is a churchgoing Christian. She could have easily kept walking, or just washed her hands and left; I had no idea where she was headed when I saw her. +

Republicans want you to believe *this* has a heartbeat.
This bit of tissue doesn't have a heartbeat. It doesn't want to know what love is. It doesn't bless the rains down in Africa.
And it certainly doesn't have more rights than the person carrying it.

ALT This is what a six week pregnancy looks like. Republicans want to put people to death if they get an abortion to remove this clump of tissue. Republicans want to jail people who are trained and have medical licenses that allow them to remove this clump of tissue from a person who just found out it was there, like, two days ago.

The weirdest thing about healing from trauma is learning how to rest. I thought I knew how but turns out I was just being anxious while seated

Is the community “vulnerable” or targeted? “Poor” or chronically disenfranchised? “Low-income” or are its residents disproportionately impacted by discriminatory hiring practices that impact upward mobility? “At risk” or put in a precarious position due to structural violence?

Happy #BannedBooksWeek! In the spirit of fighting literary censorship, you can help our friends @liberationlit get books behind bars to our incarcerated neighbors in Kansas and Missouri! 📚 Here's how ⬇️

Earth’s climate is giving air fryer. A plague kills thousands daily and bosses still asked folks to risk death for their check. Six people decided a uterus was state property. Gas is higher than Whole Foods almond milk. But your political anger is reserved for trans people?

The people who think trans women somehow cheapen their experience of womanhood are using the same argument opponents of gay marriage used when they said it would cheapen their straight marriage. It didn't. It doesn't. It won't.
Driving home to Missouri today after a week out of state…does not feel great. 💔 #RoeVsWade #Missouri
It has been…rough. But today my 3yo nephew came to my tiny new apartment and said “Hey look! She has everything she needs!” 🥹

If I didn’t know better, I’d say books about racism and the lgbt folks are not the biggest threat to school kids.

Issue 12's theme is Flight. Because we respect this region too much to call it Flyover.
