After giving birth, a woman's internal wounds take six months to heal, 12 months for physical recovery, two years for hormonal balance, and up to five years to rediscover her identity. Relationships frequently fail during this time due to a lack of understanding. Be kind and patient with new mothers; they are facing more challenges than it appears.
You get pregnant and the man leaves you. 👀
Society calls YOU a whore.
Calls the baby a bastard. 😭
But somehow there’s never a shameful name for the man who walked away.
The Shelby (NC) Police Department officer captured on doorbell camera punching a woman during an arrest has been fired. While termination for this officer's actions is an important step, it does not erase what the community witnessed! No one should have to fear excessive force at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve.
Poverty elimination reduces crime. The reasons so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is simply because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of the police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations.
Poverty creates crime.
I really don’t understand this economy where the nursing homes are so expensive they bankrupt grandparents, yet aides rely on food banks.
Daycare can take up a parent’s entire paycheck, yet providers still cannot earn a livable wage and end up needing a second job.
Republicans in North Carolina just proposed a bill that says if a woman is caught with an IUD or attempts to get an abortion then men are allowed to use DEADLY FORCE to try and stop her. They are proposing a bill that will allow men to kill women for using birth control. It’s House Bill 1232. Keith Kidwell is the Republican who proposed the bill. He claims it counts as self defense to use deadly force to stop abortion. This is a man who claims to be pro life. Feel free to give his office a call and let him know how you feel about his opinion.
And for anyone who says “obviously this will never get passed” that’s not the point. The point is it’s fucking insanity that a government official would even try to make a law like this. It’s insanity that there are men out there who are trying to make it legal to kill women for making decisions for their own bodies. This is real and it’s happening right now in front of our eyes.
Luxuries we forget that are luxuries:
1. Your mom still around
2. Hot water
3. Feeling healthy
4. Peace of mind & heart
5. Perfect weather days
6. Good food
7. Bills paid
8. Reliable transportation
The middle class is the most expensive place to live, and no one talks about it. Lower income households get assistance. The wealthy use tax strategies and loopholes. But the middle class pays full taxes, full tuition, full healthcare, full everything. So you work 50 hours a week just to stay in the same place and fund everyone’s life except yours.
