Midwifery, not prostitution is the oldest profession.

[warmbeebosoftbeebo]

midwifery, gathering, hunting, fishing, mothering orphans, horticulture, farming, caring for the sick and elderly, building shelter, religious leadership, healing, clan or tribe leader… all have longer histories as professions and tasks women engaged in than prosititution. prostitution began via pimping: men trading captured/enslaved women [who were the first slaves] among each other for other women, goods, to broker peace. it’s a convenient patriarchal myth and reversal that places the responsibility for male choices and control of women onto women’s choices and calling it female nature and power. [for one source, see gerda lerner’s the creation of patriarchy.]

you really could be DEPRESSED for MONTHS and the only thing people will notice about you is how easily you get irritated

At a certain point in every woman’s life she needs to disappear from the lives of everyone she knows and do her own thing because otherwise she would go crazy

usually when you have a stomach bug your body is like yes sir we'll get this punk out of here, 48 hours tops. then you get a cold and your body is like I dunno ... between a few hours and eleven months ... maybe a week minimum .... you gotta understand we're short staffed

[tibli]

tbf to the body, stomach bugs are easier to flush out since they are already in The System That Flushes Things Out From The Body, and that includes BOTH ends.

with a cold you gotta wait for the macrophages in your blood to start Eating Everything, and they are. not big. it takes them a while. please be more considerate of your macrophages in the future, theyre doing their best

the best apology is changed behavior

[malefixium]

the trees you grew up with have not forgotten you. their branches still whisper your name in the breeze and their roots remember the paths your feet once traced through their shade.

[glubby]

Yeah yeah we’ve all screamed as loud as we could for help and apologized for the whole thing and begged god for someone to come along and save us

if you think how often i talk about fatphobia is obnoxious, you should try experiencing it nonstop from shortly after you started being able to form memories and in perpetuity!

i am so serious when i say dark and quiet are both human rights.

i don't mean like absolute silence. obviously in an ideal community, there would still be sound and noise from people and music and work etc. but it haunts me that when i camp in the forest i can hear the howl of semi trucks on the interstate miles away. and the people who live beside it never know quiet. it haunts me that many people will live their whole lives never seeing the stars in the sky that were fully visible with NO electric light pollution as recently as my great-grandparents' childhoods.

so much of our lives is bright bright unnecessary noise. neon mcdonalds signs 200 feet in the air so we can see it from the road. led lights over billboards. parking lots lit up like sports stadiums at closed office buildings. advertisements playing at gasoline pumps. streets lined with led porch lights and decorative garden lights that genuinely threaten entire species of wildlife. music blaring outside pharmacies to deter homeless people. everything always shining and wailing for no purpose but profit and cruelty.

obviously not everything can be turned off or made quiet and i wouldn't want it to be anyway and there is a lot of nuance and room for "but what about" here, but MANY things HAVE to change because none of us are supposed to live like this and we shouldn't have to!!!
