The idea that women can suppress their ovulation for years with no consequences not just on fertility but also on mental health is a giant scam. Hormonal birth control is harmful and toxic. Femininity honors the female body. Modern feminism destroys it.

A baby is the natural consequence of sex. If you donโ€™t want a baby, donโ€™t have sex or learn proper fertility awareness methods. Women have no right to escape the consequences of their choices through the violation of another human beingโ€™s right to life.

The placenta will still hold at least 30% of a babyโ€™s blood at the time of birth (as well as oxygen and iron). Immediate cord clamping is reckless and irresponsible. Delayed cord clamping is not only safe but highly recommended.

There are children who are being murdered in Palestine because the force of the army that oppresses them is an army - armed to the hilt, financed to the heavens, and capable of leveling entire villages in one fell swoop. And this has been the case before the latest Hamas attacks.

When they ask, especially when they say: it looks really good/yummy, I acknowledge the feeling. I say I bet it does. It was engineered that way. But Iโ€™m not going to have it and neither are you. And we discuss possible alternatives. 100% of the times this works with 0 resistance.

Hospital cascade of interventions: Labor isnโ€™t progressing fast enough so Pitocin is administered. Pitocin contractions are unnatural and too painful, which leads to an epidural. Epidural often leads to fetal distress. And then an emergency C-section. Do you see the pattern?

Iโ€™ve always thought movement at the gym is so unnatural. Repetitive, and robotic movement is not how we are intended to use our body. I absolutely hate it, but I do it. I donโ€™t know enough about it but I always wonder if doing a sport > going to the gym.

@karenmkrohn @alijla2021 He says she has enough for 3 more days. I think he means formula milk. If her supply dried up and baby is only 6 weeks old, she can re-establish her supply. I hope he responds!

The epitome of fiat science. If you thought lab grown meat was terrible, wait until we have lab grown babies.

Fear is a money maker. We are conditioned to fear natural aging, so the beauty industry makes billions in profit. Fear viruses, so big pharma makes billions in profits. Fear natural birth, so medical establishments make billions as well. Break the cycle. Live free.

@AlpacaAurelius I always say I have an allergy to vegetable oil and ask if my plate can be cooked with butter. Always works.

Iโ€™m so excited to finally share the very first episode of Nafas! This has been a work in progress, and, to be honest, it was recorded back in May (though getting everything online felt like I was trying to configure a spaceship). But as any mother knows, lifeโ€”and especially the

There is such power discovered and embodied through birth. There is wisdom and perspective gained. There is a knowing within me that I will never loose. Iโ€™m still becoming her, but I understand who the Mother is. I understand the potential I have to be her.

Because high time preference. We are sold the idea that as modern women we can have a quick fix. A pill will do. Tracking cycles and inhabiting our female body is too much work.
