Donald Trump gets attacked by an eagle.
This eagle truly represents America. What a majestic symbol.
It’s only fitting that this gets reblogged today
This is the only eagle that deserves reblogging on the 4th

The first and only time we see Mary and Matthew's new sitting room - I love the wedding photo on the side table by Mary. Julian Fellowes said had Dan chosen to stay, they would have showed Mary and Matthew more in their sitting room in Season 4.

i cannot emphasize enough how important it is that you should ideally give birth in a fully equipped and staffed medical facility or if you insist on giving birth through an alternative method you should be within minutes of a hospital and i mean under 5 minutes if you’d like me to be really fucking frank
like i can get on board with so much feminist theory and stuff, truly, and i do acknowledge that obstetrics and gynaecology as a field holds blind spots that are egregious (e.g. infant and maternal mortality in the black community) but there is no empowerment in risky birthing practices that our foremothers, and i’m not mincing words, often suffered through. birthing is natural, but it is not “easy” or even “innate”, it is best practiced guided and witnessed by those that know what to do in an emergency. you are not reconnecting to any innate feminine nature by practicing dangerous birthing practices—you are recreating a time when the bodies and lives of women barely mattered and it was expected that death would/could occur at insane and tragic rates.
this is a hill i will spend the rest of my days fighting on because while i am not interested in birthing children myself, i have an incredible passion and interest in the field of labour and delivery. it’s been one of my greatest joys to play even a small part in delivering neonates. i do not want anyone to risk their babies over a deeply, deeply misguided idea of free birth being “the natural way” when natural is not always synonymous with the safest way.
So many people think it's either midwife or doctor. It's not. Have your midwife or doula in the hospital room with you, I promise the doctors don't give a shit. Hell, you can have her do the delivery itself and just have the doctors there as emergency backup! But for the love of your baby, go to the fucking hospital.
yup. a lot of hospitals are willing to work with you to realize your birthing plan as much as they can within safe limits and parameters. my hospital is closely and highly allied with midwives all up and down the coast, with the explicit instruction to call the midwife when we know a labouring patient is about to deliver so we can respect their plan. genuinely, you can have almost any kind of birth you want—just make sure that there are qualified professionals in attendance, and it’s not just midwives or OBGYNS you need. you have no idea when you’ll need a respiratory therapist on call, you have no idea when you will need a blood transfusion within minutes or risk certain death, L&D nurses do not have the same training as NICU nurses if a baby declines rapidly. it’s a literal thousand things that can go wrong and you should be in the best place for them to go wrong.
And please, please, please do not get pulled into the "free birth" propaganda. Babies have died (including the baby of a prominent "free birth" influencer) and women have suffered irreparable harm.
1. Start prenatal care as soon as you know you're pregnant.
2. Plan to give birth in a hospital.
2b. If you absolutely will not plan to give birth in a hospital, give birth with an experienced midwife in attendance who WILL transfer you to a hospital in an emergency. Emergencies do happen in childbirth and can be fatal.
2c. If you have a precipitous birth (happened to a friend of mine), please let a loved one or the nice paramedics take you and the baby to the hospital to get checked.
Insurance companies will often actually pay for a doula! Even if you have kinda shitty insurance! It's actually more cost effective to have a doula do most of the work, and the doctors just around in case of emergency. When my sister briefly worked for the dark side (United) her main job for a while was doing the stats to show how cost effective they are.
for once in my life, i’d like to sleep until i woke up natural.

The Back Cover:
A dark, epic fantasy for adult readers fond of character-driven stories, rich worlds, and elements of gothic horror. This first installment in the Fruit of War Saga is for readers who like their fantasy intelligent, immersive, and simmering with ghosts of the past – both figurative and literal.
The War of the Six and the Plague of the Bitter Hand unleashed at its peak has left the kingdoms of Ícalar in tatters. Years after a tenuous peace is made, the last surviving member of the heroic Hidden Company, Iknaïs, succumbs to the plague. Wearied Shepherd of Leaving Fîeron Eburos is called to attend the body and release Iknaïs’ soul, yet insodoing, he discovers a message pointing to the very artifact that began the war. Most confusingly of all, this message states that Iknaïs was entrusted with the artifact by the enemy and that Fîeron needs to find it at any cost. Fîeron's reluctant duty leads him to Devatska, an elderly, brilliant engineer-strategist living in anonymity after the mysterious culling of her family. But in solving the riddle of Iknaïs' last request, they are only met with more questions – about the war, their alleged enemy, and the very nature of their world.

before having a baby, I thought it sucked that babies took so long to turn into interesting people. "good for people who like babies but I'm not one of them. I want a child who can tell me her theories. etc"
but now I have a baby I feel no hurry at all?? she's great as she is
