My older cousin got pregnant at 29 after years of saying she wasn’t sure she even wanted kids. When she finally decided she did, it felt intentional. Thought out. Safe. At 14 weeks she developed intense itching on her hands and feet. She mentioned it at her appointment. The nurse said pregnancy does weird things to skin. She went home with lotion samples. The itching got worse. She couldn’t sleep. She called again. They told her it was probably hormones. At 28 weeks she noticed the baby wasn’t moving as much. At the hospital they found no heartbeat. They called it “one of those unexplained stillbirths.” She drowned in that word. Unexplained. Her marriage didn’t survive the silence that followed. He wanted to try again immediately. She was terrified. They divorced two years later. At 45 she was reading about intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and felt sick. The symptoms matched exactly. She requested her old labs. Her bile acid levels had been elevated. The result was flagged. No one had followed up. No medication. No monitoring plan. Just lotion. It wasn’t random. It was missed. She spent years thinking her body failed quietly. It turns out it had been asking for help the whole time.
her life makes me so sad, majority of it spent in a room hiding from a weird fucking man and then she visits the surface and immediately gets harassed by another weird man. SHES STILL A CHILD TOO my baby ☹️

Black History: In the 1960s, Gosnell Duncan sustained an injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down & he realized there were no safe options to continue pleasing his wife, so he invented the silicon dildo. Initially, created for disabled ppl & now an inclusive sex toy.
I now get why some fans prefer mangakas to just focus on finishing their work and don’t want to hear anything else from them because what the hell is this
Folks in the diaspora that can’t recognize that there’s a reason our cultures are so similar are irritating & ignorant
This is not “stolen” Latin dancing 🙄. our traditions are similar b/c they originate from common ancestors. OUR dances are not “imitations” of *YOUR* dances
white women used to rape black men too but they purposely erase this part of history because without this erasure we wouldn't have the kkkardashianification of society ( blackfishing, biracial babies factory, BBL etc )
There’s a woman trending on TikTok who cooked twelve porks so she won’t have to cook for the week. Her husband came back and ate six . He also packed three to go to work. She had to share the rest with her kids .
