I don't post on reddit much, but I've gotten more off-channel messages asking for details about my quip in a post about how my friend realized her period was 2 weeks late, and how she got her period to come back. Then she went to Planned Parenthood for a free blood test. She was told she'd had a miscarriage, and don't do that again.

The essential oil of the plant that Nirvana sang about is highly toxic. The tea is relatively safe. My friend used a 3-prong approach to inducing her period, not just the tea.

This tweet makes the case that the leaker was probably Justice Bryer's clerk: https://twitter.com/willchamberlain/status/15216859689396305...

> This tweet makes the case

Please stop sharing nonsense like this, because those people will get death threats as a result of their LinkedIn profile being shared in this context. The tweet isn't "making a case"; it's wild speculation about someone he just looked up on LinkedIn. The whole "case" being made here is that this particular clerk is passionate about abortion rights, and she has some second degree connection to the Politico journalist who published the leaked documents. That's it. That is the flimsiest case I've ever heard in my life. That's a high school gossip level evidence right there.

Absolutely insane thread. And any speculation is extremely premature and dangerous at this point. But, hey, whatever gets you that "social engagement," right? Can't believe Mr. Chamberlain is a lawyer; I'd fire him on the spot.

I am a bit surprised that Justice Bryer's clerk is allowed to have a LinkedIn, though. An old classmate of mine clerked for a justice on the Supreme Court of California, and they had to disable all their social media by policy.

I don't think the sort of organizations Chamberlain affiliates with are the sort who'd object to premature and dangerous behavior, as long as it targets the right people: https://fedsoc.org/contributors/will-chamberlain

You would hope a lawyer would know better than to name names with absolutely zero evidence other than speculation. Hopefully this will not lead to her harassment, but based on history, I wouldn't be surprised if she's already received threats.

For those who don't want to click through the tweets by the Human Events guy (Will Chamberlain), the "case" is basically that the clerk is married to a journalist who shared a byline on a couple of articles with one of the Politico journalists several years ago.
