I remember the time when I gave birth to my daughter. They had to keep me in the hospital for 10 days because I wasn’t feeling well. Every time I tried to stand up, I fainted. At one point, I even stopped breathing, according to my husband. He panicked and called a friend who was a cardiologist. The friend’s response was, “You know, sometimes our wives just want attention because they’re going through a hard time.” My husband got angry and insisted that someone be sent to check on me. When the resident came, my husband simply said, “Just watch.” He helped me stand up, and I don’t remember what happened next. When I regained consciousness, I saw a room full of doctors around me, all in a panic because I had stopped breathing again. That’s when they realized it wasn’t just an “attention-seeking” move.
Why am I telling you this? I’m not sure—maybe because I feel that many women, especially those with chronic and complicated illnesses, have had similar experiences. If you want to share yours, quote this with #MedicalMisogyny.
we sang we yapped we sinned and our charity stream raised over $83,000 for palestine AGAIN - thank you for making this the most special birthday of my life
I’ve been quiet on the monster that JK Rowling is in recent weeks because frankly there are greater evils.
But, I urge everyone to read this.
Read this billionaire call me and all women like me rapists.
She puts targets on our backs. Our blood will be on her hands.
For anyone that sees this, i beg you, please go watch good omens on Amazon Prime. S2 just came out today and It is so good, however It deserves a third season to wrap up the story properly, but it going to be harder this time as the strikes mean no promo so please watch on repeat
How I became the Hugging Mom 🧵:
Every day when I drop my son off at preschool, I give him a hug and wish him a good day. I tell him I love him while he runs off to play with his friends. Last week, after I hugged my son, something different happened.
I am heartbroken to tell you that my darling brother Fr Dermott, @TweeterPriest, sadly passed away this afternoon. We are all beyond devastated. Thank you for your messages of sympathy and support, they are appreciated 🙏
