The USA is playing Turkey in the World Cup.
T-U-R-K-E-Y -- that's the team we're playing.
Don't come at me with your "Türkiye" bulllshit.
We are Americans, and we call it TURKEY.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to breastfeed because I have a liver condition and need daily steroid medication.
After discussions with my midwife and obstetrician, it was agreed that I could.
But when my daughter was born 11 weeks early and admitted to neonatal intensive care, I couldn’t breastfeed her directly. I expressed milk instead.
There were careful discussions about whether my milk was suitable for her and whether any surplus could safely be donated to other premature babies.
That’s how seriously infant feeding is normally treated: careful assessment, evidence and the baby’s welfare coming first.
Yet we’re now expected to applaud giving healthy men drugs to produce a few drops of milk-like secretion and treat it as equivalent to breastfeeding.
And this is before we even address the fact that many people would find the idea of a man wanting to breastfeed a baby deeply unsettling - and believe it raises legitimate safeguarding questions.
When did protecting adult feelings become more important than asking sensible questions about what’s in a baby’s best interests?
@LibertyJen Too long we’ve made excuses, let it slide, said “that’s too harsh”…
This is why a rich DEI exec had no shame to trash her supposedly beloved city and steal from it.
This is the way for sure.
Dear Chick in my DMs asking if I know how bad I am at Twitter/X: I don't, so I'm going to need you to write up a detailed summary complete with examples, dates and explanations, then - and this is the most important part, I'm going to need you to shove it up your witless arse.
Not over exaggerating when I say growing up with a mom with "time blindness" was a fucking life ruiner. Like, an actual traumatizing childhood of being embarrassingly late to every single game, practice, recital, graduation, ceremony, concert. You HAVE to do something about it.
Keep giving out the antidotes to this propaganda.
They've sold us the myth that Christians, Jews and Muslims also coexisted beautifully in Islamic occupied Spain after Muslims invaded.
Wrong. The Muslims, as they've done everywhere else, massacred the able bodied men then instituted the dhimmi system which is based in the Quran.
Christians (& Jews) automatically became 2nd class citizens on their own land. They couldn't repair their own churches without permission, which was only occasionally given. They had to submit and pay a tax to live on their own land, as has every other occupied or conquered Christian population when Muslims sweep in.
Even the Jews, who often speak of a golden age under the Islamic occupation, eventually ended up regularly massacred by the Muslims.
As many know, the North remained free when the Muslims conquered Spain in the 8th century and the peninsula was incrementally won back over 7 centuries until it was finally free.
The subjugation of Christians and Jews during this period is methodically detailed in this book, which I can't recommend enough:
Now that we know the political significance of my $8.75 coral maternity dress from Old Navy, can’t wait to hear what the New York Times has to say about my elastic-waistband pants and compression socks! In the meantime, enjoy my pregnancy fashion (or lack thereof) and a good story with your kids on Storytime with the Second Lady.
