@Commonconcrete Literally multiple posts in a row on my feed. Not really possible, unfortunately. And there’s not really a term to mute, because people are using varying verbiage. I may just need to take a break for the day.
How do I mute the DS abortion post?
I already muted the OP, but people I follow are interacting with it.
Seeing the discourse is just making me angry, more so than it would if I wasn’t pregnant. I just can’t look at that shit right now 😤
@rcsprouljr@JoshuaBarzon Been there already. Region A has unvisited states I can check off.
On the other hand, I could absolutely kill a week at the Smithsonian alone…
Stress is a good reason to forego the NIPT; that’s not good for the baby.
While knowing one way or the other makes me *less* stressed (we’re both planners), the biggest reason I got it was because I wanted to know the baby’s sex.
I was impatient and excited!
A Short Story of Why I Don't Personally Like the NIPT:
I didn't choose to get the NIPT with my daughter, because I figured the anatomy scan would be more accurate.
3 weeks after my daughter was born, I recieved a call about her newborn screening. They found 2 genes for CF.

@StablersHeir@LadyNimby Are you asking me? Because I never said anything about my child, who still has several weeks to bake before she gets here.
It’s not autism to spend your formative years around adults and then have culture shock when exposed to children who are markedly less mature than you are.
@DuckieLouise Like walking into a spiderweb, but for linguistics?
I honestly don’t know how to tell; all I see are people citing m-dashes and ellipses, and both are things I use all the time, so I’m not sure that’s a good test.
@AdamCrigler Every time you tell this story, it makes me so angry for your friend. Rape is evil, and lying about it is just as evil. I can’t believe they didn’t even slap a “filing a false report” charge on her!
@QTRBlackGarrett@_CharlesPreston This rant reminds me of all the race posturing around Ben living to the end of Night of the Living Dead and then getting shot by cops, until Romero was like, “Uhm, he was just my friend with the most acting experience, so he got the lead role. 🤷🏻♀️”
@lisavsworld@allie__voss I went to a wedding very similar to this. Pulled pork that had smoked all day, after being freshly slaughtered that morning, and the bride made the cake (holy smokes was it tasty). It was super duper fun!
@bumbadum14 There is a difference between “can’t” and “won’t.”
I have a VERY close relative who settled abroad getting married this fall. Even if I weren’t going to be 3 weeks postpartum, we *can’t* spend the money required. How much we love this person is irrelevant, unfortunately.
@Emmmavic Lmfao this dude is so obviously not a Marine.
I don’t know wtf is going on with that dress blue jacket, but a mall ninja katana and ribbons AND medals at the same time?
