Common values, forgiveness, giving each other support and room to grow

Had an ultrasound at 8 weeks, told them after everything looked good on that. My job has some hazards (taking x rays basically) that necessitated telling them early on

I know other Christian groups can be even worse (like the Quiverfulls!) but I was always amused how Catholics take relationship advice from the celebate

Hah! Same guy that the preppy ag kids who are posting articles and saying “This is so disappointing! We hope they will reconsider! We feed the world!!!” voted for, I’m sure.

THIS. THISTHISTHISTHISTHIS.

I lived for a time in south dakota! I’m excited to find out there are actually jezzies in my part of the world.

Point 1 - I’m crying. I’m so happy for their happiness, and so sad and angry for the bigotry they face, that is also faced by those who lack their - wealth privilege?/not sure what word I’m looking for - or are otherwise unable to be themselves safely. We must keep fighting, friends.

I too would attribute this action to a Chad. Are there many Chads who are finance bros? being from being from a rural red-state does afford me insulation from this particular scourge on humanity

Ok between yours and Jacob mc’s comments I really want to hear more on sexism in your field. This sounds awful and right now I’m perplexed (how exactly is having a penis going to make a dang bit of difference in someone’s performance in this line of work?)

On further reflection, she might do cross - stitch? Anyway, like NewAroundHere said, look for the craft thread on SNS!

I mean ffs at least when I see my boss’s Hillary for Prison bumper sticker on his truck, I know what I’m dealing with. That’s insidious next level bullshit you’ve got there

Has jezebel’s resident embroiderist put this on a piece yet?

Agreed. I’m a vet, but pet animal healthcare is also dominated by women. I had the day off already as part of my schedule, but was trying to picture a healthcare strike and, well, patients could die.

Your comment + your username = perfection

God, thank you. All I want is a healthy baby and bodily autonomy again. It’s good to hear from somebody on the payoff side :)

I’m first time pregnant, 14 weeks and I haaaate this. What’s it like on the other side?

Ok so there’s two measures of how accurate a test is: sensitivity and specificity.

My doc doesn’t even offer those types of screening tests bc of the ambiguity and false positives. She offers the fetal DNA testing, it’s around $130 and is like 95%+ accurate. Any positives I’d definitely confirm with an amnio. I’m 14 weeks, first time, and chose to decline the screening.

I’m one of those people who wants to be left the fuck alone, lay around in sweatpants, and pray for death

Awww I had a St growing up, he was the best, chillest dog ever. He’d sprawl out like that, I’d lay my head on him, and we’d nap like that.
