Ditch the perfectionism. Anything worth doing is worth doing as much as you can do. Eat some food. Move your body a bit. Clean part of yourself. You don't have to do everything at once. Life isn't perfect and you don't have to be either. 🖤💙😷🥄
@marriedtowhopod Thank you for the shoutout in this episode (you got there in the end 😅)! I can’t believe you remembered my podcast! It’s not active now and I really miss it. We were pretty great, if I do say so myself. 🙂↕️💖
@jessiegender Wow, my first Doctor Who episode was one of this guy’s (don’t ask me which one). He was “on” TV for so long that it thought he was the only Doctor, until Christopher Eccleston regenerated into David Tennant. 😲

Have you heard of this birth accountability law?
I call it a "Fuck You, Pay Me" bill.
If states are going to force people to give birth, then pay for it.
The Pro Birth Accountability Act would require that the state cover:
✅reasonable living, legal, medical, psychological, and psychiatric expenses directly related to prenatal, intrapartal, and postpartal periods;
✅the child's health care (including vision and dental) until age 18;
✅if the child is born with a disability, all related costs forever;
✅automatic eligibility for SNAP, TANF, and WIC with no reduction in benefits until the child is 18;
✅ if the pregnant person becomes disabled as a result of the pregnancy, all related costs forever;
✅child support, if the bio father is out of the picture;
✅college;
✅ automatic eligibility to participate in a program that would pair a pregnant person with a specially trained nurse to provide home visits from early pregnancy through the child’s second birthday. (‼️‼️‼️)
The Pro-Birth Accountability Act is a phenomenal bill that should be replicated far and wide. Call your representatives and demand it.
