Wade.

George R. R. Martin Confirms Jon Snow Sequel Series Was Kit Harington’s Idea
George R. R. Martin has confirmed in a new blog post that the reports of the Game of Thrones sequel series focusing on Jon Snow is very much true, and that actor Kit Harington was the one who pitched the idea.

Cyndi Lauper Shares New Version of ‘Sally’s Pigeons’
Earlier on Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the long-standing case that protected a pregnant woman’s right to choose to have an abortion. Many, many artists chimed with their opinion on the ruling, with almost all being against the ruling. Cyndi Lauper has taken things a step further. In 1993, Lauper released “Sally’s Pigeons,” a song inspired by a real-life incident where the pop singer’s friend got a back-alley abortion after becoming pregnant and died due to the attempted procedure. Last month, after the Court’s ruling was leaked to Politico, Lauper headed back into the studio to record an acoustic version of “Sally’s Pigeons.” Here’s what Cyndi Lauper had to say about the new version: [embedded content][embedded content] “The Supreme Court’s radical decision ...

Resources to Protect Reproductive Rights After the Overturn of Roe v. Wade
This morning, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending nearly 50 years of the constitutional right to abortion. In an opinion reflecting the 5-4 majority—a draft of which had been leaked last month—Associate Justice Samuel Alito declared that Roe “was egregiously wrong from the start” and had “enflamed debate and deepened division.” Nearly half of states are expected to issue all but total bans on abortion, and 13 states already had “trigger bans” in place to outlaw abortion as soon as Roe was overturned. The court’s decision will make it severely harder for people to get access to reproductive care, forcing them to travel hundreds of miles to access a clinic. Those who are already struggling—namely, low-income people and people of color—will be the hardest hit. Pro-choice lawmaker...
