The baby is only part of the birth. There's another birth that almost nobody talks about. The PLACENTA. For 9 months, your body grows an entirely new organ, an organ with one job keeping your baby alive. It delivers oxygen, nutrients, hormones, filters waste and connects two completely different circulatory systems without ever mixing your blood. Then, minutes after your baby is born that organ detaches from the wall of your uterus, and when it does, it leaves behind a wound roughly the size of a dinner plate. About 10 cm across, that is why you bleed after birth, because your body is healing a wound. At the same time, your uterus, which stretched enough to hold an entire baby, is working around the clock to shrink back down to its pre pregnancy size. Those after pains you're feeling those contractions, they are your uterus, squeezing itself smaller while compressing hundreds of open blood vessels to stop the bleeding. Now imagine this. If you had a wound that size anywhere else, on your body, on your arm, on your leg, your back, would anyone expect you to be back at work in a week? Would anyone expect you you to entertain visitors? Cook meals, carry a baby day and night smile for photos and get your body back, of course not. You'd probably be in the hospital on a drip. People would tell you to rest up. They'd expect weeks of recovery, yet when that exact wound is hidden inside your body, the world acts as though you should be back to normal almost immediately. 6 weeks later, you go for your postpartum, check up. Many women think it's a milestone that says, wow, you've recovered. It isn't. It's simply checking whether the bleeding has stopped, whether the placental wound has healed and whether your uterus is recovering as expected. It is not a certificate that says your body, brain, hormones, identity or even nervous system have all returned to normal. So if you've ever been wondering, why haven't I bounced back yet? Here's the better question why were you ever expected to bounce back from something this enormous in the first place? Your body is recovering from one of the most extraordinary healing processes a human being can experience. Give yourself some time and space to recover.

Alberta just approved a $13 billion Meta data centre in Sturgeon County. Here’s what they’re not telling you.

It needs a dedicated 1.4 gigawatt gas plant just to run. That’s roughly the entire daily power demand of Edmonton, for one facility.

Alberta’s grid is already 60% gas powered, nearly 5 times the national emissions intensity. Ottawa’s whole AI strategy assumed Canada’s clean grid would power this stuff. Alberta is the exception, and it’s where almost every planned data centre in the country is now landing.

Meta says it’ll fund its own power infrastructure and match usage with clean energy eventually. Pembina’s Greenlight gas plant isn’t even online until second half of 2030. So new gas gets built now, promises get made for later.

300 permanent jobs for a $13 billion investment. Compare that to what else that capital could have built.

Residents near similar projects in Olds have raised real concerns about water use, air quality and noise, with limited say before approvals move forward.

This isn’t an anti-tech take. It’s a question of who actually benefits when a province hands out energy and land for a fraction of the long term jobs a $13B investment should create.

[Dr. Lynora Saxinger MD FRCPC Infectious Diseases @AntibioticDoc]

As an infectious diseases physician just have to say that raw milk increases the risk of exposure to multiple infections, many much worse for immunocompromised people, kids and elderly people….

Think Salmonella, Listeria, Campylobacter, E.coli - Brucella, Mycobacteria... and more! (….cow udders are basically covered with fecal bacteria)

Raw milk was responsible for up to 25% of all foodborne and waterborne disease outbreaks at the turn of the last century. It was found that gently heating the milk to a high enough temperature for long reduced bacteria counts. This reduced infant mortality by 50% in many cities over 100 years ago. (The death rate of infants was 30-50X higher, tragically.

Importantly- these bacteria have never gone away- we just manage the risk by food safety measures.

So, I strongly recommend the food safety measures. Like pasteurized (or shelf stable UHT) milk.

Nutritional value = same although people will try to greenwash / use the appeal to nature fallacy about it.
But it’s not more healthy, it’s just got more poop bacteria,

In public health, you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.

🚨WATCH: Barack Obama on Trump's Iran War:

There was a deal in place in which Iran had agreed not to develop n*clear weapons...

This administration, or a prior version of this administration, pulled out of it, which caused Iran to develop more n*clear capacity.

It feels like we're back where we were before we started the WAR, except maybe a little bit Worse off.

"All Albertans were the victims of the largest data breach in Canadian history, and the speparatists had everything they needed ot forge the signatures on that petition."

ABNDP leader Naheed Nenshi says he looks forward to seeing if the Stay Free Alberta signatures can be validated following court ruling.

He argues that the Premier doesn't care about counting these signatures, unless it's about Corb Lund's petition.

Trump’s doctors already know he has a form of Frontotemporal dementia. PSP, Picks, CBD, etc. His symptoms are so extreme and his imaging proves it.

Trump gets regular drug infusions for his dementia. That’s where the hand bruising comes from. The “shaking people’s hands” cause, said by his doctor is a dirty lie.

Trump gets the latest clinical trial drugs. He also takes drugs like Memantine, Levodopa, and antidepressants.

His doctors have a developed a corrupt morality system to protect themselves from the fraud that they are perpetuating.
Here’s their logic:
1 Tests show he clearly has dementia.
2 We will give him conventional and clinical trial drugs to try to slow it down.
3 We will claim he continues to pass dementia screening tests so we can say the disease had not progressed while we were treating him.

Note- Test Trump in a room with independent media present and he would flunk that “cognitive test.” It would be devastating.

People have to accept that his medical exam reports are total fabrications and lies. Start with him being 75 inches tall. That’s a big lie. That means Prince William standing next to him in a photo is 6’7” tall.

Once people accept that his doctors are fraudsters trying to keep him in office, the scope of the scandal becomes obvious. Trump only works with people who will lie for him and commit crimes for him. That includes his Walter Reed doctors. They are going to get burned for this.
