Probably been seen a lot here, thought I'd post it anyway,

The Narcissist's Prayer:

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did…You deserved it.

"In the first study on midwifery care for low-income women in Canada, the researchers have found that low-income pregnant women who receive midwifery care are less likely than women under physician care to have low birth weight babies and premature births" https://t.co/Ir5gVKMFgK

[feminist next door @emrazz]

you have two coworkers: a bully, and an ally.

you and your ally both hate the bully, but the bully only picks on you.

your ally does nothing because honestly, they really like not being bullied, and this is kind of your issue.

dafuq?

that's not what it means to be an ally.

People trust abusers.

They won't believe you.

They find him charming, bright and helpful.
They have placed him in powerful positions.
They have risked their own reputation to support him.

They won't believe you.

Imagine going up against all that as a victim. #courage

Sexually transmitted infections are going through the roof as our sex-ed curriculum goes back in time and students tune out safe sex. All the more reason to heed teachers as they take the Tories to court. My latest: https://t.co/emEvErpdQX

officiating the
funeral

of a global superstar

sexually assaults a young woman while verbally insulting her
on live TV
before tens of millions of viewers

and media
attacks the

#BlackBreastfeedingWeek is an important movement because it offers #peersupport for #parents within the #Black community who may face stigma & expectations of failure from family, friends, + even medical professionals regarding #breastfeeding. #LoveOnTop https://t.co/taaRID1X1e

Yes is not #Consent if you're afraid to say no.

@PeeCee62 @etfopresident @ETFOeducators @OFLabour @CanTeachersFed Yes, seriously, save lives. I know, as an educator, that I put a hell of a lot of thought into my choices in the classroom. Words matter.

You know, thoughtful intentionality. Unlike what comes out of reactive jackasses seeking self aggrandizement on twitter.

Violence against women (VAW) shelters were not intended as a long-term solution for victims of gender-based and family violence but women may live for years in emergency shelters because there is no affordable housing available. Read more: https://t.co/OodUXV1urZ

Shared, simply because this is the best thread we've ever come across. And hey, #reproductivejustice is all about being able to make the right life choices for ourselves. Read, and be inspired.

In 1980, a psychiatric nurse at Chicago's Michael Reese Hospital (and mother of two) divorced her husband in the midst of a particularly troubled married life and decided to pursue her lifelong dream of an acting career. She was 40.

Have to give these kids credit for their efforts to make a difference! According to them, children and youth that grow up in abusive homes are 6 times more likely to take their own lives and 3 times more likely to repeat the cycle in adulthood. https://t.co/t7EXhblG27
