day off in columbia, missouri today... wanted to share this: “Pregnancy, entered into willingly, is an act of generosity, a commitment to share the resources of life with another incipient being. Such generosity is in no other circumstances required by law. No matter how much you need a kidney donation, the law will not force another person to give you one. Consent, in the form of a donor card, is required even to remove organs from a dead body. If the foetus is a person, it is a person with a vastly expanded set of legal rights, rights available to no other class of citizen: the foetus may make free, non-consensual use of another living person’s uterus and blood supply, and cause permanent, unwanted changes to another person’s body. In the relationship between foetus and woman, the woman is granted fewer rights than a corpse. But it’s possible that the ban on abortion has less to do with the rights of the unborn child than with the threat to social order represented by women in control of their reproductive lives.” — Sally Rooney, London Review of Books

reproductive freedom must be understood and protected as a civil (or even human) right, without which women cannot be free or achieve equality within society. religious leaders can try to convince women that they should not have abortions but they cannot force all women to subscribe to their patriarchal religious creed. it is not the job of government to enforce religious creeds but it is the job of government to protect the civil rights of its citizens. any court worth its salt should find these new abortion bans unconstitutional.

Tonight, the May book tour for No Walls and the Recurring Dream wraps up with a stop at New Orleans JCC. Read about the memoir and Ani's relationship with NOLA in this interview with The New Orleans Advocate.

so here is my mixtape for you, like the kind that i would make you on cassette if it was, like, 1993 and i was really into you. it’s a flight of ani songs that i took the liberty of revisiting, solo stylie, twenty… (thirty?!) years later, songs that factor (either literally or figuratively) into my memoir, No Walls and the Recurring Dream. these songs take the same stumbly trip through my formative years that the book takes — except for To The Teeth. To The Teeth has nothing whatsoever to do with the book; i just wanted to include it. i am blessed to have three very special guests (Amy Ray, Maceo Parker, & Billy Bragg) join me on this otherwise solitary outing. All are musicians i love, people who make appearances in No Walls and the Recurring Dream in some form or another. they are people who have already given me gifts along my journey and now, here is one more. listen here: https://ffm.to/nowallsmixtape
