do you ever sit and think about your female ancestors and like how many of them endured forced marriages, sexual abuse, physical violence and complete deprivation of education and autonomy and suffered silently for literally centuries. going through pregnancies and child birth without modern medicine, having multiple children and watching most of them die before the age of five because that was just the way of life back then? and ultimately you are a product of their pain? i think about them a lot and then i think about how many women continue to share their reality in this current year
i didn’t know fox was really pushing the narrative of these concentration camps for kids being nice and fun as proof that they aren’t concentration camps
i hate to break this to you, fox. but the nazis definitely did try to sell the public on the idea that concentration camps were nice and fun
also like…. americanization of children stolen from families also resembles shit the nazis did???? there’s no way to avoid the comparison????
my fave bit of black dog folklore is that in some folklore there is a belief that the first person buried in a cemetery stays there and doesn’t cross over and helps other spirits move on and protects them from evil spirits, now naturally people want to avoid this fate for their loved ones and themselves so they would sometimes bury a dog first and it would return in the shape of a big black dog and protect the newly dead from evil spirits and occasionally the living as well
this kind of spirit is called a church grim
You mean it’s called a good doggie.

earlier I asked if CAH could send me a pride pack for doing them some free accidental viral marketing and included a fake resume while also requesting they hire me as well as give me free stuff and they just emailed me back and. im crying
for reference this is the resume, word for word
“Additionally, my resume is as follows:
I’ve played card against humanity at LEAST three times.
[REDACTED]
While I don’t have a degree, one time I hung out at an abandoned college? ”
When you think about it, we are all bodies who do everything to keep us alive from fighting diseases and fixing broken bones and all these several complex things our inner organs do - with a brain that keeps fucking up the whole thing because of our mental illness(es). Brain is like that one member in a group project who just can’t handle all the responsibility its handed.
The list of things you’re supposed to avoid when you’re pregnant (like I am) is comically long. Hot baths. Alcohol. Soft cheeses. Tuna and lunch meat. Sprouts.
So it felt a little odd to be offering up my arm for a vaccine a few weeks ago, at the start of my third trimester. Really? No ibuprofen or Pepto, but yes vaccines?
The shot was to protect against whooping cough, among other things, and doctors at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists or ACOG recommend it for all women, in every pregnancy. And, there are a few other shots that are advised for pregnant women, depending on your circumstances — and a few you’re not supposed to get.
For the first time, the group has released a one-page immunization guide for pregnant women that spells all of this out.
It’s basically like the vaccine schedule for children you might see in the pediatrician’s office, but much simpler. The goal is for it to be easily posted in doctors’ offices, “so that it becomes more automatic and part of everyday prenatal care,” says Dr. Laura Riley, one of the guide’s authors and chair of the ACOG immunization work group.
What’s recommended: An infant lifesaver
The two vaccines most pregnant women should get are the flu shot and the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine or Tdap.
Tdap is a bit different — it protects newborns against pertussis or whooping cough. It’s a very contagious disease especially for infants and it can make them seriously ill. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, half of babies who get pertussis end up in the hospital, and some die.
It’s totally okay to say “you know what, this isn’t making me happy” and to walk away from whatever or whoever is keeping you from the happiness you deserve
