@SeanathanCory @walden4pa53 @HoLichette @backtothewind0 @BernieSanders I love #ChristianMythology,
it has many beautiful parts.
But like the people who wrote it,
it is full of cruel & evil things.

Goodness was in the world long before any middle eastern men wrote the bible. Some #mythos worship knowledge instead of demonizing it.

@SeanathanCory @walden4pa53 @HoLichette @backtothewind0 @BernieSanders One red flag for me as a little girl growing up w bible study was the way they dealt with questions. Why did they assume a deity crushed up a gold statue to poison water that made the whole town sick for revenge. Doesn’t a pathogen
make more sense?
They didn’t understand germs🤷🏻‍♀️

@SeanathanCory

@SeanathanCory @walden4pa53 @HoLichette @backtothewind0 @BernieSanders Surely SOMEONE in the town must have proposed the idea that there must be another explanation.
Theres always several possible questions to rule out before defaulting to magic.

Or how about the burning bush?
If it really happened,
what else could have lit it ablaze?

One day my friend came in to visit me when I was working back in the juice station at a raw food restaurant in the nice part of town. There was a wheatgrass juicer, a giant centrifuge juicer, and two vitamix blenders and fruit and veggies everywhere.
“I need your help” She sat.

“Want a juice?” I smiled.
“Yea, I need you to make me a parsley juice.”
“A shot?” I asked.
“No, a TALL glass. To the TOP.”
I raised my eyebrows, and headed to the walk-in fridge.
Grabbed like 10 bunches of parsley and fed them into the mastication juicer
til I filled the cup.

We made a My Little Pony Escape From Catrina joke
& had a toast. She chugged half the glass. “I need to induce menstruation” bottoms up.
“I hear you need to put a fresh sprig up there every few hours too” I told her. We weren’t afraid of death, but we were afraid of pregnancy.

@albertaparent @PipSyyyv @Kaelwritesblog @mollyfleck @clhubes Actually thats true.

The brain can be convinced that voices are happening when they’re not, amputated limbs are present, physical impossibilities are real, and its all because of two trainable parts of our wiring: The subconscious and the logical processing center. 🧵

@albertaparent

@albertaparent @PipSyyyv @Kaelwritesblog @mollyfleck @clhubes Some people need help w physical processes for birth and thats okay and good and normal and I’m thankful for #Science and the #medicalcommunity which makes assistance and even accessibility better for everybody.
All birth stories are good.
You can not fuck up birth…

@albertaparent

@albertaparent @PipSyyyv @Kaelwritesblog @mollyfleck @clhubes There ARE things we can do to prepare for the physical, mental, and environmental challenges that will be unexpected, change very quickly, and involve a complete loss of control which you just kinda have to TRUST won’t kill you. Birth is like falling asleep w trust you won’t die.

Natural (unmedicated) #birth
feels like weighted squats
at the gym for 12 hours.
#PainlessBirth
Its exhausting and drones on and its uncomfortable, and you’re hungry and thirsty. Its a marathon. But u don’t feel pain until the next day.
#neuroscience
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

I was able to achieve this maybe for a couple reasons:
Before #pregnancy I was fit AF.
Exercise was not painful.

At all.

Exercise changes pain reception.
Athletes feel LESS PAIN.
And the uterus is
just a GIANT muscle
which needs extra oxygen.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30379385/

IF YOU FAIL TO BREATHE
while exercising,
YOUR MUSCLES HURT.
This isn’t bc exercise hurts.
Its bc lactic acid builds up around your tissues and without excreting muscle cell wastes,
the body feels pain.

I have a hypothesis,
and I need help.

I think its time to talk about #ReligiousFreedom and exactly where one person’s #freedom starts, and another’s ends. And no I’m not talking about a woman’s body dividing cells, I’m talking about breathing adults who #vote

https://twitter.com/gzzyzyx/status/1433139649577246721

#ReligiousFreedom is SO important to everybody. And I agree that I ALSO want my own #FreedomOfReligion. But other people DON’T get to define that.
I am in charge of my own #belief systems. You could even say I’m RESPONSIBLE for them🤔
#AmericanTaliban

No matter how wacky they got, the point in time where I am no longer allowed to practice my #Religion, would start IF it harmed another breathing adult, and that word #harm is pretty loaded too, isn’t it?
How do we define #Freedom?
How do we define #Life?
#Happiness??
#Americans

Wow the #BacktoSchool2021
gossip is REAL THICK.
So Brayden’s mask kept slipping down, and my kid kept telling them to get a school paper mask and they said ‘You don’t talk to me’ because Ari kept calling them by the wrong pronouns cause their hair is long.

And Devi got a red card for not listening. And Nancy was sitting by herself and Mrs. Victoria asked them how they were doing, and they said they didn’t feel good. But she wasn’t coughing and didn’t have a runny nose.
So my kid got to take
everybody’s temp
IN THE WHOLE CLASS…

AND THEY SENT SOMEONE HOME SICK ON THE 2nd day of school and now every family has to fill out this #covid questionnaire! Would a family send their kid to school w symptoms? Definitely.
This class is 100% oldest children. These #parents are TIRED. #REALNESS
Half have babies too.
