[The Latest from Our Bodies Ourselves](/the-latest)# Fall 2025 Newsletter: Thankfulness

November 17, 2025

[Read the full issue](https://assets.ourbodiesourselves.org/documents/2025-fall-OBOS-newsletter.pdf)

In the fall issue of our newsletter, we spotlight new resources that demystify high tech censorship of abortion info, how racism affects PCOS, what a new survey concluded about LGBTQ health, and how art helps us heal. We listen to OBOS founder Joan Ditzion and other second-wave feminists reflect on aging, while a younger reader revisits the “lesbian chapter” published in the 1973 edition. We celebrate a new guide to abortion and reproductive justice. We interview longtime OBOS contributor Amie Newman, who is editing an upcoming essay collection about eating disorders at midlife. We also share news about our advocacy and public programs, including the ongoing Our Bodies Our Quilt project.
