You ever invite your coworker to watch you give birth just to spite a racist

[linguisticparadox]

Okay howmst the fuck has a ship doctor in the far future never handled a birth without the father present? Are sperm donors and gay couples and trans women no longer a thing in the bajillionth century CE?? :/

[thatoldantique]

I while understand the frustration with erasure sometimes it helps to look at things through the cultural context of when something was made. Star Trek the Next Generation was made in 1987, this particular episode I believe aired in 1988 a time when a future where the husband was always present for the birth would have been amazing to many of the people watching the show as men had only been allowed to be present for the birth of their children for 10/15ish years at that point in the US.

Women (and many men) fought for decades with hospitals to even have men allowed in the delivery room during the early stages of labor, which can last for several hours, and hospitals only began to give in to their requests in the 1960s but even then they would be kicked out of the room by hospital staff before the actual birth took place. So many of the couples watching the show would have had to go through labor without having/being allowed to support their spouse regardless of their wishes. Having the child’s father present for the birth only began to happen in the 1970s and 1980s. Which means most people watching this show either went through birth without the support of their spouse, were not allowed to support their spouse during the birth of their child, or their own mother’s went through that during their birth.

A future where the husbands were always present for the birth was still a little crazy to consider in the late 1980s. A good kind of crazy for the people living in that time, it showed a future where the wishes of the couple were finally consistently listened to by medical professionals as a result of the actions of people during their or their parent’s lifetimes. And it does that by also subverting it in allowing Data to step into the role of the father when the father was unknown and/or unwilling/unable to fill that role (I’ll be honest my knowledge of Next Gen is a bit spotty and I have not seen this whole episode, just a piece of it at family Thanksgiving). The woman’s desires as to how she would give birth are listened to and respected, something that still doesn’t happen in many hospitals now and would have been seen as even more revolutionary then. So while it isn’t perfect I think this scene was actually fairly impressive for its time and cultural context and shows a future that many people of that time would have seen as ideal.

this is an awesome meta to read while you invite your coworker to watch you give birth to spite a racist.

[thatbassistbitch]

you jest but there’s a thing in the south where we have lamb-shaped easter cakes but theyre red velvet. you put frosting all over it to look like lamb wool but because its so humid down here, the red dye starts to leech into the frosting so when you cut the cake, any runny frosting is like blood and you’re butchering a lamb cake. or maybe that’s just my family and close friends? idk but it’s really funny to see a bunch of little children march around with a lamb head on a plate leaking red runny frosting

every time my partner and i take a shower, when we get out he wraps his towel around himself like a toga and just goes “okay, i’m ready!” like he’s just gonna go out on the town like that. he’s been doing it for years and i hate him.

also, we joke that every morning when we wake up we make a choice to be together, and inevitably he’ll say something stupid and i’ll say every night that i made the wrong choice 

[love-lays-bleeding]

I HATE the one about telling her she’s been in a coma but tge rest of these are fucking hilarious.

[unashamedly-enthusiastic]

From the first 30 minutes of any given day:

Every morning I must get out of bed The Normal Way, which consists of a dramatic flailing full body roll to the opposite side of the bed, steam rolling all who happen to be in my path

While he’s getting dressed I must say “I like your pants”, if I do not do this in a timely enough manner he’ll follow me around doing a dramatic “superman stares off to the distance” pose until the ritual is complete

Since the discovery of matching pants subscription services, I have been able to been told my pants are liked and get to shout PANTS FRIENDS on matchy matchy days

[mother-sauces]

When my wife and I started dating, I would occasionally say “holler if you need me” when going to a different room. After a while, she started doing it back.

When she says it, I let her leave the room, turn off anything else that would make noise, give her a second to stew, and then-

SCREAM BLOODY MURDER

she loves it

[dagny-hashtaggart-deactivated20]

So I had a partner a while back. I had kind of a reputation at the time for being unflappable, so needless to say they were overjoyed when they discovered the disturbed faces I made when they did a (pretty good, I have to say) impression of the vocals from the ‘We Like The Moon’ song. For a while I was without a counter to this practice, until I learned that they reacted in a similar way to me saying “monkeymonkeymonkeymonkeymonkey” quickly in a raptly intent tone of voice.

[funereal-disease]

Whenever my husband or I say “while you’re up…” with the intent to ask for something, the other must screech “I’M NOT UP” and fall to the ground dramatically. 

Also, whenever my boyfriend is singing to himself, as he often does, I join in and try to steer whatever song he’s singing into “Take Me Home, Country Roads”. This always goes over great.

All that glitters is not gold, as Kingold’s US$2.8 billion fraud shows

The Nasdaq-listed jewellery maker allegedly used 83 tonnes of fake gold bars as loan collateral in the latest scandal to fuel a recent drive by US politicians to expel Chinese companies from Wall Street.

gilded copper!

[discoursedrome]

honestly though it’s heartwarming to see something so traditional in a nine-digit financial fraud nowadays, instead of some kind of shell game with imaginary instruments or misreported profits or whatever. they actually had physical fake gold that could pass a cursory visual inspection! how aesthetic

[argumate]

I thought the traditional copper scam was to use it as collateral for multiple loans from multiple banks who don’t realise they’re all claiming the same asset, but painting the copper gold makes it even funnier!

[rubyvroom]

Can I watch a great film knowing the actresses in it were terrorized and mistreated the entire time? Can I watch a football game knowing that the players are getting brain injuries right before my eyes? Can I listen to my favorite albums anymore knowing that the singers were all beating their wives in between studio sessions? Can I eat at the new fancy taco place knowing when the building that used to be there got bulldozed eight families got kicked out of their homes so they could be replaced with condos and a chain restaurant? Can I wear the affordable clothes I bought downtown that were probably assembled in a sweatshop with child labor? Can I eat quinoa? Can I eat this burger? Can I drink this bottled water? Can I buy a car and drive to work because I’m sick of taking an hour each way on the subway? Whose bones do I stand on? Whose bones am I standing on right now?
