giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.
I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.
FOR SCIENCE.
if you're afab, please reblog this with whether your parents forced you to get your ears pierced when you were little.
I told my friend that this is a pretty common experience for afab children and he didn't believe me, so now I'm curious if it isn't as common as i thought

On April 16th 2025 the US federal government has proposed to change the interpretation of the endangered species act so that it no longer protects habitat.
This is open for public comment until the end of May 19th. Please comment and make your voice heard.
Wildlife need their habitat. If the ESA redefines harm so that habitat is no longer protected, the implications for wildlife would be catastrophic.
YOU hate Christopher Columbus.
"It's not Marinette's responsibility to tell Adrien!" Then why does she make herself responsible for every decision made regarding what Adrien gets to know? If it's not her responsibility she shouldn't get to make any calls about it. You don't get to push a shelf over on purpose and then yell: "not my mess!"
Marinette made herself responsible. Now we'll just have to wait and see if the show will hold her responsible.
