I wanted to not spend this year yucking up anyone’s yum…. But I hate these stupid cups and I loathe these idiotic pretend water creations. Ok, I got it out of my system, back to being a better me. 😬
@mychal3ts@SolanoLibrary I have been dodging a lost book for like 20 years…. You’re making me think there’s a chance they might let me have my library card back.
There is some unfortunate discourse happening on why Black & Brown patients are on FaceTime during care visits.
If any of my family members are at the hospital or an appointment, it's a whole care conference on FaceTime with the entire familia many of which are HCWs by the way.
@shesinscrubs We have a general rule in my family that we don’t go to the doctor alone. No one; you bring someone. Advocate, witness… whatever you want to call it. The medical system is not a safe place and it’s unquestionably dangerous for non-white folks.
@LeciaMichelle11 It’s hard to put into words how much I hate dealing with these visitors in the hospital. After literally years of this shit and abusive assholes like that… I give one reminder, and then I call security and have them removed. I don’t play this game with them anymore.
To help me post partum, my husband never: woke up to tend to baby at night (he tried at first but quit when he realized he was useless at it), changed a nappy, gave her a bath, changed her clothes, washed a bottle. No baby care, no cooking me food, didn’t wash one dish or ever do the cleaning…but he was the BEST SUPPORT I could have hoped for post partum.
Do you know why?
Because he stuck to his STRENGTHS instead of LARPing as a woman. He made sure I could stay with my mom and sisters post partum so they could baby me while I recovered. He got me the best healthcare support money could buy. He took me to beautiful and sunny places to relax. He bought us amazing dinners so I wouldn’t have to cook all the time. He made sure we could afford the healthiest food. He got me a maid to help clean the house. He made sure we lived in a building and pool so that it would be easy for me to make my body stronger without having to worry about childcare or driving to a gym every day. He works hard so that I don’t have to be separated from my baby 9 hours a day to work.
A man doesn’t have to become a woman to look after you.
So many of these shrew women, yes many who call themselves “conservative” HATE their husbands so they lash out at them by forcing them to behave like women, and then yelling at them when it’s not intuitive or easy for him to do. Men and women are different. We have different strengths and weaknesses. Expecting woman behaviour from a man is a recipe for disappointment. And vice versa.
Reminder: The only reason we don’t have Universal Healthcare in the United States is because the dominant society doesn’t want Black people to have it.
I am the Christmas Creator in the family. The magic, the decor, the endless piles of delicious food buffets. Just ONCE … I want to be invited to another Christmas Creators extravaganza and just enjoy being a guest. If you are that someone, I’m taking applications.
