Did you know that modern C sections were invented by African women— centuries before they were standard elsewhere?

Midwives and surgeons living around Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria perfected the procedure hundreds of years ago. When a baby couldn’t be delivered vaginally, these healers sedated the laboring mother using large amounts of banana wine. They tied the mother to the bed for safety, sterilized a knife using heat, and made the incision, acting quickly as a team to prevent excessive blood loss or the accidental cutting of other organs. The combination of sterile, sharp equipment and sedation made the procedure surprisingly calm and comfortable for the mother.

After the baby was delivered, antiseptic tinctures and salves were used to clean the area and stitches were applied. Women rarely developed infections, shock, or excessive blood loss after a cesarean section and the most common problem reported was that it took longer for the mother’s milk to come in (an issue that was solved with friends and relatives who would nurse the baby instead).

In Uganda, C sections were normally performed by a team of male healers, but in Tanzania and DRC, they were typically done by female midwives.

The majority of women and babies survived this, and when questioned about it by European colonists in the mid-1800s, many people in Uganda and Tanzania indicated that the procedure had been performed routinely since time immemorial.

This was at a time when Europeans had only barely started to figure out that they should wash their hands before performing surgery, when nearly half of European and US women died in childbirth, and when nearly 100% of European women died if a C section was performed.

Detailed explanations of Ugandan C-sections were published globally in scholarly journals by the 1880s and helped the rest of the world learn how to save mothers and babies with minimal complications.

So if you’re one of the people who wouldn’t be alive today without a C-section, you have Ugandan surgeons and Tanzanian and Congolese midwives to thank for their contributions to medical science.

Thank you, my sisters.

Wow. I wish they would teach things like this is school.

America in particular (Europe’s slightly better, but not much) only seems to remember Africa exists when it’s being visited by one of the four horsemen. Which is really sad. It’s an entire continent with a rich history, people.

And we all know why, too…

Dream job

Getting to give lesbians the sexual experience they deserve. Proper oral. Proper dirty talk. A real orgasm.

why do you like eating a girl out?

the sounds. the way she whimpers. the way she brings it up back to my mouth when i stop. the broken moans. hearing her breathing get harder & feeling her legs shake. when she looks down at me as i look up at her and she bites her lip, my gosh. the way her back arches. the way she grinds her clit on my tongue. the death grip on my head right before she cums and her legs give out. the way she pulls me back up & tastes herself on my lips.

1. I only like women.

2. Gay. It’s just the first word I ever had to describe myself and I feel best using it.

3. Since birth.

4. I like a woman who is intriguing, casual, fun. I like a girl with meat on her bones who’s not afraid of my dirty jokes. Feminine.

5.I stood up at my dads house after we were going through some old baseball cards and said, “ I gotta get going but I wanted to tell you I’m gay”. All he said was “and”?

6. It makes me happy, and it’s my birthday month so it seems fitting

7. I try if I have time. But I always stay informed

8. Positive representation of any kind is valuable to our community

9. I have insecurities but my sexuality is a cross I honoablely bear.

10. No one in my family. But films and books helped me find that I wasn’t alone.

11. Fourth grade. Her name was Macy. I don’t know how to find her because she moved at the end of that year. She was also my first kiss.

12. Take your time and come to terms yourself. You don’t have to justify anything to anyone but you.

13. Yes at 14

14. I hope it disappears one day

15. Only for those who live in fear.

16. Take it slow and pick people you trust first. You don’t want to start your jeourney with negativity

17. No masculine, chubby/thick women

18. Well Gentleman Jack on HBO is incredible. And very real

19. I distinctly remember asking my teacher what a word was in a book in fourth grade. (It was the word gay). She looked at it and said ew before she told me what it meant.

20. With women it’s easier, but still always.

21. Dark minds, drugs, closed heart. Obsessive. Cruel nature.

22. Being into me. Being sexual. Intelligence. Good conversation.

23. Great! But need more for women seeking women.

24. I don’t mind it. For me I don’t associate it as a slur.

25. It’s the USA. Do they fully accept anyone but straight white men?

26. Sarah Paulson

27. Just treat us like regular people....because we are

28. Did you ever give men a chance?

29. Depends on the motive.

30.

I’ve have suffered many losses in my lifetime thus far. I know I will continue to do so with age. That is the fact of life. We cannot live forever, but we can learn and grow together.
