After childbirth, a woman’s hormones don’t just “drop”... they plummet. Within the first 24–72 hours after delivery, estrogen and progesterone fall dramatically from their peak pregnancy levels to near pre-pregnancy levels. It’s one of the most abrupt hormonal shifts the human body goes through.

During pregnancy, estrogen and progesterone are extremely elevated. Once the placenta is delivered, those hormones decline rapidly, signaling the body to stop sustaining pregnancy and begin milk production. At the same time, prolactin rises to support lactation, oxytocin surges to help the uterus contract, and the uterus begins shrinking back to its original size... a process that takes weeks. Postpartum bleeding (lochia) can last 4–6 weeks as the body heals.

This intense hormonal shift is one major reason many women experience mood swings, tearfulness, irritability, or the “baby blues” in the first days after birth. For some, the changes can contribute to postpartum depression or anxiety.

All of this happens while she’s recovering physically, often sleep-deprived, and caring for a newborn around the clock. So yes... if she doesn’t feel like herself right away, that’s not weakness. That’s biology.

They always ignore the HISTORY part. White people had whites only schools, restaurants, neighborhoods, water fountains, hospitals, country clubs, colleges, beaches, and entire systems built to exclude Black people for generations…backed by laws, violence, and discrimination.

Black people creating safe spaces for ourselves after centuries of being excluded is not the same thing as segregation. One was about oppression and denying people humanity. The other is about community, culture, and being around people who share similar experiences.

Y’all can’t spend hundreds of years excluding Black people from everything, then suddenly act confused or offended when Black people create spaces for themselves. Those are not equal comparisons at all.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Naomi Osaka on why she chose to host a party for the black tennis players:

“You know I'm seeing a little bit of-
‘Why can't you love everyone for all skin tones?’ and ‘what if someone had an all white party?! First of all I do love everyone for who they are no matter their race + ethnicity, (I'm literally half Japanese lol). I can only speak from my experiences in my own life though, growing up as a tennis player I didn't see many people that looked like ME and I feel like it's important to celebrate them.

Secondly I feel like it's important to note that there have been all white dinners/parties. I don't know how else to tell you this, I literally seen them all the time and never had an issue with it at all. To the people who ask this question I want to ask you this question too, ‘What is it about POC getting together that unsettles you so much?’

I want to end this by saying I grew up watching my dad get discriminated against, having the cops called on him multiple times at the tennis court. There are multiple things I will apologize for in my life but celebrating being black and appreciating who we are will never be something I would consider saying sorry for. Thanks.

Actually I lied, I am sorry. I'm sorry for the people who cannot comprehend in their brains that this is not about exclusion, this is a celebration about how far we have come 🖤”

[A.VICTOR @Lifeof_AG01]

Firstborn daughters may have a mean/tough demeanor; however, this is usually only a defensive mechanism because they've had to be strong for a long time. When you get to know them, you realise that they are the softest, kindest, and most loving people you will ever meet.
