Do you find winter cozy or chaotic? ☕❄️
Whether or not you celebrate any winter holidays, we hope that you're able to rest and care for yourself this season! 🤗 Make that appointment you've been putting off, repeat those affirmations, and make time to indulge in a little self care (if you can) -- you deserve care and comfort! ☃ And if you're struggling through the winter, you're not alone. Celebrate the small wins: did you wash a dish? 🍽 Hell yeah! Spent some time with loved ones? 💜 Woohoo! Said "no" to something that was outside of your capacity? ❌ YEAH YA DID! 👏

Did you know? Indie clinics provide the majority of abortion care in the United States! 🤯It's true!
Additionally, independent clinics are essential for maintaining access to care throughout pregnancy -- 63% of clinics that provide abortion care past the first trimester are independent. That number increases to 85% of abortion care provided at or after 22 weeks of pregnancy, and 100% after 26 weeks of pregnancy! While we support any person exercising their right to not be pregnant regardless of other factors, including pregnancy gestation, it's important to also keep in mind that the vast majority of abortion care at higher pregnancy gestation is due to fatal fetal anomalies (meaning that the pregnancy will not survive outside the womb due to abormalities in development) or direct threat to the life or health of the pregnant person. Access to any pregnancy-related care is a human right, and folks should not have to travel long distances or pay exorbitant fees to access the care they want and/or need. ✨
Since Roe V. Wade was overturned in June 2022, one HUNDRED independent clinics have been forced to close. Why? As of October 2025, 12 states ban abortion completely, six states ban abortion sometime in the first trimester, and another 23 states ban abortion at a different arbitrary point in pregnancy, including NH with a ban on abortion after 24 weeks. 👎
What can you do to help? Follow and support independent clinics like Lovering, Equality Health Center, Mabel Wadsworth Center, and Maine Family Planning! Keep an eye out for the official Communities Need Clinics 2025 report from Abortion Care Network! Donate your money/time/energy! Share abortion information from reputable sources with people in your social network! Keep talking about abortion and the importance of accessible, compassionate, and affirming care! 💜

Some of us in the band, and our partners, have benefited from the excellent services that the Lovering provides.

This World AIDS Day, learn about how to protect yourself with PrEP! ❤️
PrEP (or pre-exposure prophylaxis) can be used in the form of a daily tablet or injections every other month. When exposed to HIV through s*x, PrEP is up to 99% effective at preventing you from contracting the virus! When exposed to HIV through shared use of needles (like for drugs, medications, tattoos, or piercings), it's up to 74% effective! 🤯 Ask your healthcare provider if PrEP could be right for you, or find more info at jglhc.org under HIV Testing and Prevention!
World AIDS Day is a global movement to unite people in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Since 1988, communities have stood together on World AIDS Day to show strength and solidarity against HIV stigma and to remember lives lost. HIV is now considered a manageable condition with medications like anti-retrovirals and folks who are HIV+ can live long, full, and joyful lives! ❣
What other actions can you take this World AIDS Day? Follow and support organizations like AIDS Response Seacoast that provide direct support to folks who are HIV+!
*There is also another injectable form of PrEP that may be more widely available soon requiring an injection only once every 6mos. Currently, Lovering is able to offer daily tablets or bi-monthly injections for PrEP.

CLOSED Thurs 11/27 and Fri 11/28, but here's a lil tidbit for ya in the meantime! 🥧
Diet culture can be particularly exhausting and triggering during the holidays, which for many folks are a time of special treats! Depending on your comfort level, here are some suggestions for avoiding/addressing body talk at holiday gatherings:

Option #1 (Mild🌶): Redirect!
i.e. "Have you seen Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein film yet?"

Option #2 (Medium🌶🌶): Be direct!
i.e. "I feel uncomfortable when you make comments about my body."

Option #3 (Spicy🌶🌶🌶): Turn it around -- make THEM uncomfortable!
i.e. "Uh that's a really weird thing to say out loud... but if we're just saying whatever comes to mind, your pie SUCKS and I've had better from Cumberland Farms."
Physical health and mental health are inextricably linked. Judgments, assumptions, and fatphobia all lead to poorer health outcomes overall... so bust that fact out if anyone gives you a hard time about your bodytalk boundaries! 😉

Can you help us raise $50,000 by the end of 2025?! 💜
We have a donor match of $25,000 if we can meet our goal of raising $50,000 by the end of the year! We truly cannot do this work without our community -- will you consider making a one-time or monthly donation today to support our mission of safe and accessible s*xual healthcare for all? 👯‍♀️👯👯‍♂️
Your donation to Lovering will support breast and cervical cancer screenings, abortion care, gender affirming care, STI testing & treatment, birth control, vasectomy care, HIV prevention, and MORE! 🤯
Lovering accepts most major insurances as well as NH and ME medicaid, and we also have a sliding fee scale based on household income for folks who do not have insurance or cannot utilize their insurance to safely receive reproductive healthcare. A balance in your account will never be a barrier to receiving care with us. ❣
Donations can be made at our website (jglhc.org) or by cash or check through the mail (PO Box 456 in Greenland, NH 03840). We are so grateful for your ongoing support and our strength and motivation are sustained by our fierce community -- thank you for being here with us! ☺️

Keep those s***m in your snowballs… schedule your vasectomy at Lovering! ⛄️
A vasectomy is permanent pregnancy prevention for someone with a p***s! The procedure involves cutting and sealing the vas deferens (the tube that brings s***m from the epididymis where it’s made to the urethra and out through the tip of the p***s during ej*******on). 🍆 💦 The procedure usually only takes around 30 minutes in the office!
Vasectomy care is super safe, and over 99% effective at pregnancy prevention! 🤯 While some providers may advertise “vasectomy reversal”, there is never a guarantee that someone could regain fertility, so a vasectomy should be considered permanent. 💜
Give your partners the gift of peace of mind this season… schedule your vasectomy today! ✂️

Make your voice heard -- take the OUT Community Survey about LGBTQ+ health! 🌈
In 2025, we have seen an unprecedented amount of anti-transgender and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation introduced nationwide. In many cases, this has made it very difficult or even impossible for some folks to access affirming healthcare, including and especially gender affirming care. 👎 Lovering, as many small independent clinics are, has been working very hard to ensure that our patients are able to get what they need in a kind, affirming, and pro-LGBTQ+ environment, particularly under a White House administration that has been vocally anti-LGBTQ+.
The OUT Community Survey is intended to measure changes in LGBTQ+ health since January 20, 2025. You do not have to be "out" as q***r or trans to take the survey, and The Cancer Network will not share your personal information with any outside parties unless you indicate interest in additional connections. ❣ Find the link below. 🔗
Now is an important time to band together to raise awareness about changes in LGBTQ+ health outcomes in 2025 and continue to work toward accessible and affordable healthcare for ALL! 👊
