Birthworker rant incoming:
I am all for looking at the evidence and following what works for your baby, your family, and your needs. Sometimes that means not following recommendations and guidelines. Heck, I've done it with my own kids for several different things. 🧵1/x
Want to reduce suicides? Reduce poverty.
Want to reduce crime? Reduce poverty.
Want to reduce addiction? Reduce poverty.
Want to reduce domestic abuse? Reduce poverty.
Want to reduce just about any unsolvable issue in society? Reduce poverty.
@dani_susanna Yes, that Overton window has shifted for sure.
For the record, I did it and was the leftiest left that I've ever seen haha. Not close to anyone on there.
@dani_susanna I did that vote compass thing because I was curious even though clearly I don't have a vote anymore. And it took me by surprise to see that too! And how much further right the ndp actually is according to that then I thought.
@dani_susanna I vehemently disagree with that "it gets better" shit. No, it doesn't. It gets different. Different hard things. And yeah. I try really fucking hard not to numb, but damn, it's not easy.
His name is #RalphYarl and I’m sick and tired of this feeling…my heart completely broke when I learned this precious 16-year-old, who accidentally rang the door of the wrong address in an attempt to pick up his siblings, was shot in the head… (1/3)
#Fresh Florida Black woman with a medical condition causing her to lose all of her amniotic fluid was denied an abortion. She was sent home from the hospital with apologies to deliver a dead baby. Thinking she was going to die she went to the salon so her mother wouldn’t have to deal with her hair when she died. She ended up delivering her baby in the salon bathroom’s toilet and almost bled to death. This is what Ron DeSantis is celebrating.
@dani_susanna My friend. My sweet, sweet friend. I'm sorry you're dealing with all of this. It's bullshit. It fucking sucks. And it's okay to feel and say that. Just please know that you are not alone. Please don't try to deal with it all alone. You are loved ❤️
