I evaluate my behavior every night. I will literally be in the shower like "I didn't like how I responded to that today but tomorrow I will be better".

In an Orange County, Florida courtroom, Judge John Jordan looked at a Black woman before him and asked, “Have you ever chopped cotton?” He followed it with, “That’ll straighten you up,” reaching for the history of plantation field labor while deciding a Black defendant’s fate.

She was in court on a felony battery case, facing community service, and instead of modeling impartiality and respect, the judge invoked imagery tied directly to the enslavement and exploitation of Black people. That is not a harmless joke; it is a reminder of who has power in that room and how casually our trauma can be weaponized from the bench.

Jordan’s comments triggered a formal ethics case. The state’s judicial commission found that he violated the Code of Judicial Conduct and is recommending only a public reprimand, which he has agreed to accept, while allowing him to remain on the bench.

So the result is this: the system agrees his words were wrong, but is still asking Black defendants to trust a judge who sees “chopped cotton” as a way to “straighten up” a Black woman standing before him.

Date him like you will one day be 9 months pregnant, exhausted and completely dependent on him. Date him like your parents just passed away and he is your only support system. Date him like the world is ending and he is your main hope for you and your family’s protection and survival. Would you still choose him?

Pregnancy really is such a vulnerable time and I am so grateful for the people that have showed up for me and my baby during this process. 💞

My family used to tell me I was spoiling my babies by wearing them all the time and letting them nap on my chest in the carrier. I ignored them, obviously.

Contact napping is not a bad habit you are creating. It is the biological default. Cribs are a modern invention. For most of human history, babies slept on their mothers.

On your chest, your baby has your warmth, your heartbeat, the rise and fall of your breathing, and your smell. Their nervous system registers all of this as safe. In the crib they have a flat, still, cool surface with none of those inputs. That is why they wake up the second you put them down.

You are not spoiling a baby by holding them too much or contact napping. Anyone who tells you that is out of touch with reality.

@Talk_2_Em_Chris It’s important children see naked bodies in non sexual ways …that’s why we have so many freaked out individuals.Their first experience with naked bodies was inappropriate or secretive so they develop secretive and inappropriate habits in future relationships.

I started watching Blue Therapy on Netflix, oh Mariah…when a man says “he doesn’t want to get married” he often means “with you”. He told you no hundreds of time. After 7 years, it’s time to move on. Don’t waist your life with him

The first three months after birth are often called the "fourth trimester" because your baby is essentially still developing outside the womb.

Human babies are born more helpless than almost any other primate, partly because our heads are too big to fit through the pelvis if we stayed in any longer. This means newborns come out before they are really ready.

A baby horse stands within an hour of being born. A human baby cannot even hold their own head up. For those first three months, your baby needs you to be their external womb. They need constant warmth, feeding, motion, and closeness because their nervous system is still expecting the environment they just left.

This is why the first three months are so intense. They are feeding around the clock, contact napping, and will not let you put them down. It gets easier once their nervous system matures enough to handle being in the world without you as a buffer.

Who are these two men? They are Marcus Harvey and Tre Jones from Marion, Indiana. They should have been all over the news but they weren't...

Some time ago they saw a house fully engulfed in flames with people still inside.

So they kicked in the front door and risked their own lives to save the occupants inside.

None of the occupants would still be alive if it wasn’t for them.

Neither one gave a second thought about anybody’s color, they just did what was right.

These are the heroes the media tends to not show us.
