I just read an interview with him in Rolling Stone. It was that or the back of the Tidy Bowl package. I chose wrong.
On one hand, James Franco does what I think a lot of us wish that more famous people would do - he takes the platform he’s been given and uses it to create work that’s unusual, boundary-pushing, and that highlights the experience of marginalized groups.
I had to perform CPR on my infant daughter a few months ago. She started crying strangely, and after we pulled her out of her crib, she stopped breathing.
It was terrifying, and despite having aced our CPR class, I think I probably did a terrible job at it. I was shaking and just kept screaming for my husband to call…
I keep waiting for violent people to stop viewing women as prey. Just keep waiting.
That’s all well and good, but when you use the “You’re not a parent” line to an actual physician/medical researcher, particularly in defense of your debateble snake-oil product, you lose.
As a parent of a child that suffered excess mucus build up while sleeping, I don’t care if a gadget will save my kid or not. If it even helps by 0.0001% - I’ll invest.
And, not to beat a dead horse, but if you do not witness the baby stop breathing, you are two give the breaths first, then pump. If you do witness it, the opposite: pump, then breath. It’s all timing. This is why CPR training, as you advise, is a good idea.
As a parent, there is literally nothing more bullshit than the “you’re not a parent, you can’t know [INSERT HERE].” My blood pressure spikes the instant that those words are uttered/written.
Very important info, thanks for the extra visibility. The instructions I found say if you’re alone, do CPR for two minutes before calling 911.
Just an FYI, CPR as soon as you know baby isn’t breathing. Have someone else call 911, or if you’re alone, CPR first, at least for a bit, then call 911. You need to get air in there (if you can) as soon as possible. 911 can’t do CPR for you (although if you are not trained can of course guide you through it) and…
No worries. I know a lot of professionals who deal with stuff I can’t imagine dealing with on a daily basis, as part of their jobs. And some of their ways of dealing with that daily reality the average Jezebel reader might well find shocking or callous. And they’d probably agree, out of context. But there you are.
I agree that Clinton gets treated unfairly—and constantly and subtly disregarded for her strong record—on account of her gender.
