how to contact me

respectfully, please don't. i am perpetually overwhelmed and doing my gosh-darn best.

why is this website named "Dirty Little Machine"?

this website is named after a suction-based DIY tool used by underground abortionists in the early 1970s. they decided to take the means of reproductive choice into their own hands, liberating people with ovaries from forced pregnancy before the medical establishment was even considering making such services available. the abortionists who made these devices called it the Del-Em, after a scornful doctor referred to it as "that dirty little machine".
