2/2…birth w a doula and birth plan, and w my home birth I decided to get the Hep B for him at 1st appt w his doc. Many of these folks will argue that the mother knows her Hep B status so why get it at birth. I think it’s important to educate about how babies could get it from other things.

1/2 Listening today- thanks to Dr. Hoda for a great discussion. One thing that I have some insight on is how Hep B vaccine is villainized in home birth and natural birth circles. I think it’s part of the desire to have bodily autonomy over birth (to be up front, I had a home birth and a hospital..

TBF, if someone left me in the hotel and didn’t bring me out to Barcelona hot spots, I’d be sad too 🤣

I loved hearing you speak! My kid struggles with selective mutism, anxiety, and is also autistic (doesn’t pay taxes yet as he’s a kid 🤣). I really appreciated hearing about how you work to navigate accommodations in your work life. We’re hoping to help him advocate for himself as he gets older.

@jamieloftus.bsky.social ‘s series on Tay/Adam, and he’s incredible. Covers so much- politics, societal racism, autistic struggles and identity including nonverbal autistic stuff (including mutism and nonverbal communication issues), relationships and therapy, schools you on bell hooks 🤯

My phone kept warning me that suitcase was lonely at the hotel the whole time I was in Spain.

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

As someone from the northern US, I will now be using this term all the time. And calling feathers macaroni. As you do.

His “Trauma Based Mind Control” ditty was great. Going to name my next band that.

Poster saying "Economic boycott - don't buy stuff on Friday, Feb 28. We have power. No: Amazon, Walmart, Target, Fast Food, Gas. Ok: Small business. Use cash"

2. ECONOMIC BLACKOUT. We support the economic boycott occurring this Friday, Feb. 28, of any entity that has dismantled their DEI programs and pandered to this administration. The buck will stop with us!

The man supported his trans friend a bunch of years ago, and now has stabbed her in the back. This is the kind of behavior that we call out in men, not drinking a beer or liking sports, fer goodness sakes.

Well, that tracks. What a garbage bag of a human.

I have a silver one!

The only Worcester groups I follow on FB are: mutual aid, buy nothing, the free fridges, and various homeschool get-together groups. All else is needlessly infuriating 🤣

Happy Birthday to Frederick Douglass who would by very disappointed in all of this BS but would never, ever stop fighting (or getting his photo taken)

Went to my first conversational Spanish meetup. I feel like anyone commenting “they need to learn English already” should be forced to learn Spanish for several years on Duolingo and then put in a conversation with a fluent Spanish speaker. They will gain some empathy quickly. Probably. :)

The last bit is a hard pill to swallow. But I’m glad all that still exists.

That’s cool, thanks!

I dislike the man intensely, but his voice is a disability brought about by a medical condition. We can find him unfit for the office without demeaning him for a disability.

I haven’t seen that one but yeah, no. Also don’t watch The Road next. Or Ol Yeller 😂
