Okay: I’d rather not handle financials/driving/major decisions in a relationship, my partner would be better at the helm as I help them from home.

Not okay: so that means any woman who doesn’t feel the same way is dysfunctional and doomed for misery. I’m the loving light of Christ ✨

I saw a radtrad say that women wearing pants is cross dressing. Would love to watch him try on women’s pants and see how long his balls survive the massacre.

Terminally ill children have a right to be born and receive hospice and/or palliative care.

hate when pro-choice men call themselves “allies to women”. you’re not all ally to all women, you’re an ally to pro-choice women because you want to be able to have sex with them without consequence. you are not an ally to pro-life women, you are not an ally to any woman you disagree with, you are not an ally to the women raped in the porn you watch, and you’re probably not even an ally to your own mother. you’re an ally to hypothetical pro-choice women and only when it serves you.

Hoe would I not be an ally to pro-life women? It’s their choice to have the baby then??? Like, the choice isn’t automatically to kill.


Also, what does porn suddenly have to do with this, Stretch Armstrong?

says the anime porn blog. i would say use your brain but you don’t appear to have one.

the libertarian party in norway wants for the father of a child to be able to opt out of child support, as women have the choice for abortion they think it’s ‘’unfair’’ to force the man to pay
 
if you’re pro choice you’re anti woman, you’re anti children, you’re anti compassion. you’re pro men getting away with it 

Pro-aborts get mad when I point out that elective abortions absolutely affect other people. They are not “personal medical decisions” because abortion kills a human life and then that disregard for human life seeps into how we treat those around them. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Start owning that.

People love to riot and cause problems for the sake of diversity and fighting systemic oppression up until it means having to help accommodate pregnant women and their children lmfao. Don’t act like I don’t see you. :)

Also affordable healthcare and better social and financial support for families

ALSO! More coverage for out of hospital care providers! Often times the hospital administrations will monopolize coverage and treat incoming patients from other out of system providers like shit (Hi! I’ve been a victim of this mindset). This includes midwives, fertility awareness instructors, nutritional therapists and registered dieticians, etc. We would save soooo much money as a nation if the hospital systems stopped hoarding all the resources and artificially inflating prices.

I’ve been seeing pro-aborts throw around high risk/crisis pregnancy situations as reasons why they support abortion. One was placental abruption…WHICH WOULD NEVER BE SAFE TO HANDLE VIA ABORTION, AND IS NOT PART OF THE PROTOCOL FOR HANDLING THIS MEDICAL CASE. [X]And this wasn’t even the only medical myth that they shared!

There are some hellish situations to be in while pregnant. There are also obstetric solutions to them that do not involve killing a human being. Feel free to search my tags to find examples.

If you claim to be pro-choice and have spread such BS, educate yourself and stop scaremongering women into dangerous abortions that are unneeded to begin with. If you are pro-life, it helps our advocacy and efforts tremendously to know basic medical facts to prevent misinformation from spreading.

I love how I have been involved with women’s healthcare for the past 8 years and the only thing pro-aborts fixate on me is abortion. Like yeah I talk about it a lot, it’s what sparked this blog, but y’all are awfully quiet on my birth justice posts. And my anti-racism posts. And my anti-ableism posts. And my systemic sexism posts. And my child welfare posts. And every other post not about abortion. These other posts are not extras for me but a very real part of the systemic issues I work against. So why are you people quiet on those posts?

Y’all have some nerve coming to me talking about things you only take at face value and assume things about me as if I have not studied this shit academically and through activism. Y’all really, truly make it easy to prove that your movement thinks abortion solves everything because it’s all you ever see and talk about. Abortion is your only standard and it shows itself in how ignorant you are in literally every other aspect of women’s health activism.

Don’t believe me? Then follow literally any birth justice organization; most of them are pro-choice but they rarely, if ever, present abortion as an answer to obstetric violence. You know why? Because obstetric violence is an issue within abortion services also!!!! Abortionists are not your saviors and abortion is not the medicine that women need to succeed in childbearing issues.

Even if you think child killing is a human right, at least have the courage to challenge your other bigoted beliefs about women’s health as caused by abortion activism.

pro-birth:

Love seeing the hypocrites come out in full force lmaoooo. “STORM THE CAPITAL AND KILL THE BIPOC POLITICIANS WE PRETENDED TO CARE ABOUT DURING THE COUP” you deserve to be miserable.

Y’all will burn buildings and threaten death to be able to pay a doctor to kill your child but not to prevent pregnancy discrimination at work, or for birth justice. Y’all ain’t rebels.

Love seeing the hypocrites come out in full force lmaoooo. “STORM THE CAPITAL AND KILL THE BIPOC POLITICIANS WE PRETENDED TO CARE ABOUT DURING THE COUP” you deserve to be miserable.

I saw some idiots shaming disabled people for having kids “knowing they may have their condition,” so friendly reminder that 1) disabled people are allowed to exist, and 2) disabled people wanting biological children are not selfish. So long as they make the appropriate changes necessary to welcome a child (disabled or abled) then they are fine!!!

Stop acting like serious high-risk cases in pregnancy are normal or should be suffered through. Demand better medical care for prenatal medicine. Create a society that is accepting of pregnant women who work and study and contribute. Create a society that will welcome back a pregnant woman if she wants or needs time off to focus on the baby. We are not inept and our children are not our enemies. Let us live. Let us thrive.

life-advocate-feminist:

It’s not bad for the economy, it’s bad for overbloated corporatists who will no longer be rich because they have to provide for their working parents. Plus you are literally killing future workers/innovators through abortion. How do you help the economy by A. allowing corporatists to abuse working mothers and B. killing off the next generation of workers???

None of this is true.

In most cases, the treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is keyhole surgery — the removal of the length of affected Fallopian tube. This is clinically not an abortion. An ordinary abortionist cannot perform this procedure.

Both “septic uterus” and “incomplete miscarriage” refer to the same kind of thing. Miscarriage can create the risk of sepsis if it is incomplete. In this case, the unborn human in question has already died, and miscarrying is the process of the body removing the tissue. An OB/GYN will need to perform what is called a dilation and curettage (D&C)which is essentially extracting fetal remains (so, already deceased) from the uterus. This is also not an abortion.

This post is both medically illiterate and disingenuous. Abortion in conventional political dialogue doesn’t refer to keyhole surgery or D&Cs. It refers to the killing of an unborn human to terminate a pregnancy.

Just say you think it’s okay to kill an unborn human. Stop redefining what abortion means to pretend it’s “medically necessary.” Pro-life people undergo ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages too — no one wants to criminalize them or cause women to die. We literally are those women.

ALSO YOU DON’T TREAT INFECTIONS WITH ABORTION – YOU TREAT IT WITH ANTIBIOTICS.

You may need surgery (whether a D&C or otherwise) but it won’t matter if the surgery works if you don’t get the infection under control with an antibiotic treatment.

I am sick to death of pro-aborts acting like they care about women’s health when it’s clear that it begins and ends at abortion. So long as it involves killing children they are happy. Fuck their feelings on this shit, I am sick to death of women being lied to and children dying, possibly along with their mothers because ““““feminists”““ fucking lied to them.

Over the last few days I’ve noticed a slow but steady increase in views across almost all of my fanfics over on Ao3, which is great! Don’t get me wrong, I am THRILLED that people are still finding and viewing my stories (especially when I’ve not updated anything in a while)

…but I’m also nervous about it. Some might say paranoid…

If these views are genuine, great. fantastic. I might even cry. HOWEVER.

A little while ago I remember seeing something about bot views, but also about people stealing other people’s work and posting elsewhere.

So this is just to say that I ONLY post fics on Ao3, and very rarely here on Tumblr. I DO NOT have/use accounts on any sites like fanfiction.net, wattpad, or whatever else people might use.

tl;dr: I am a nervous bean please don’t steal my work

It’s almost 7am and I haven’t slept. I’m having a really bad time with my gallbladder. Long story short it has Polyps. Doctor at the ER told me that “You’re fine. They arent that big so therefore you don’t need to remove it”. I AINT FINE. I get in so much pain when it acts up. The pain is so unbearable that I either puke acids or food or just go to the toilet to relieve the pressure and pain. In addition to that, this week my right leg gets severe pain and I can’t even move it or stand with for a few minutes. DON’T YOU HATE WHEN AN ER DOCTOR DISMISSED YOUR PAIN! DO I LOOK LIKE I WANTED TO GET BILLED FOR FUN FROM THE HOSPITAL WITHOUT INSURANCE?!

Mind you I have a regular Doctor for this but they also think I’ll be fine living with these damn Polyps since they aren’t growing. I HAD TO LITERALLY CALL HIM FOR RECOMMENDATION ON A SURGEON AFTER THE ER DEBACLE! Oh btw if the polyps gets bigger its potential to be CANCER! Like why would I want to live like this and wake up to CANCER? Like why?

Also, if you do choose to live like this you have to have a crazy diet. No fats or cholesterol food. I literally lost 20+ lbs. That’s cool and all but sometimes when the pain hits me for a week some of those days I don’t eat. More like I can’t. My body refuses. I get so nauseated. And acid is everywhere. And omg your sides feels likes there’s a mass that’s about to explode and it’s stabbing the shit out of your insides.

Anyways I’m going to try and talk the surgeon soon. I can’t take it anymore. Before I was ok keeping it since the pain only last a day. It has been months now and the pain is longer and it is more painful than before. I am so scared of surgery since I never had one. I don’t like not having control and not seeing things. I’m so scared to not wake up. I’ve read some ppl journey here who had gallbladder issues, some gave me hope but others gave me more of my fears. Idk how to feel about this decision. I JUST WANT MY LIFE BACK. I WANT TO EAT REGULAR FOOD.

I’m ranting here instead. I’ve been stuck at home for quite a while now. I don’t really talk to ppl and my circle of friends is low. I mostly talk to my wife. But I need another outlet.

Good afternoon friends! how are you all keeping? The snowpocalypse has began to subside somewhat recently but I will get right onto the third log of this adventure… The Snowpocalypse: Day three  Alas, the snow had finally stopped… for now. Our heating was still out but we were hoping for the engineer to come out and do his magic. At least the living room which my friend and I had camped in was…

Still thinking about how Claude, despite usually being fairly guarded, evasive, and careful with his words, just confesses anything and everything, during his S Support. He doesn’t even try to word things in a way that make him look good. He just word-vomits everything, good and bad. He completely trusts that the person he loves won’t interpret him in a suspicious light, so he confesses everything.

Please forgive this rant I’m going to give under the cut:

Claude: *dances with Byleth* Reddit™: pic.twitter.com/gS2lkfkE1C — BuddyTheMeanPeacock (@buddy_mean) May 4, 2022ALT

It’s takes like this that made me post a while back about Claude’s love confession, where he didn’t bother to word things in an advantageous way.  So many people hear “I originally wanted to use you” as “Claude never had any kind of loyalty or affection for others at all, still doesn’t, and is lying in wait to discard people once his goals are fulfilled”, as if his whole character arc wasn’t about him learning and growing into someone who could be that sincerely and earnestly connected with others.  And as if his goals aren’t all about creating a world where people genuinely empathize with each other.  In the end, _HE’S_ the one shouting “But we have the strength to scale the walls between us! To reach out our hands in friendship and open our true hearts to one another! That’s how we win!”  He had to grow into that ambition.  

During his childhood, he grew up with VALID reasons to not trust in anyone, nor even believe in the goodness of the world.  Maybe if he hadn’t grown up with that defiant disposition (probably inherited from Tiana), maybe he would have let the world convince him it was evil and people are just cruel and of no worth (besides being used for one’s own selfish survival).  But instead, he rebelled against such hopelessness, and reached to defy it, by believing that even seemingly cruel people could become understanding of others, and thus even a cruel world could become a safe and happy place for kids like him.  Maybe Claude isn’t running on Spite, to get through his past traumas, but he is running on Defiance, to survive them.  

He continually works for a dream, that is DEPENDENT on an unwavering faith in others.  He has to believe that people could get along if they just understood each other, enough to empathize with each other.  He persistently works to solve problems through conferences, diplomacy, talk, and persuasion, which is fully dependent on sustaining belief in people always having the ability to understand, compromise, sympathize, and work together, regardless of how buried such aspects of people are.  He has so many cutscenes with the Golden Deer, where he reasons them out of preconceived notions and explains his goals, for them to understand him.  Claude also maintains an unbelievable patience, for his faith in others to be proven justified.  Heck, in Azure Moon, the last time he saw Dimitri at Gronder, Dimitri was ready to fight him, even though, from the Alliance perspective, the Kingdom had turned against/betrayed them for no reason, even after the Alliance had *just* helped them—and yet still, Claude soon afterwards asked Dimitri for a rescue at Derdriu, having full faith that somewhere, even inside that angry prince at Gronder, was still the Dimitri he met at the Academy who was always so selfless and eager to help others.  At Derdriu, Claude even tells Dimitri, “I knew you wouldn’t hesitate to put yourself second and come running to our aid.” (And then Claude goes on to advise Dimitri, “both the living and the dead cling to us without any regard for our own lives. It’s up to us to break free of that weight and follow the path that we believe in.” As if Claude had thought long and hard of how to understand Dimitri, during all this time, even after Gronder.)  Claude canonically proves he has an UNREASONABLE amount of faith in other people’s goodness.  No matter how buried it may be behind callousness, he will still believe and patiently wait for it.  This trust in others, as well as the emotional sincerity, that Claude idealizes and aims for, is his ambition, because he has to believe that a better world than the one he grew up in, can be created by people coming together, in trust and sincerity, to understand and sympathize with each other.  

There is a constant struggle inside Claude between his childhood experience which tells him that “it is not safe to trust anyone”, vs his ambitious dream of “everyone understanding and sympathizing with each other and accepting each others’ differences”.  So I think it’s reasonable that even while Claude is working and gradually progressing towards this dream of everyone being sincerely empathetic with each other, he is still struggling to feel those emotions himself.  He uses people, he makes strategic friendships, he tells himself to not trust anyone too much or else he’ll get stabbed in the back.  (He even warns others to not trust him!)  But at the same time, he’s dreaming of a world where people can be honest and sincere with each other, and for those leaps of faith to be met with empathy.  Inside Claude is a struggle between his lived experience vs his idealistic ambition.  But he understands that to make such dreams into reality, he has to fight against his own reluctances and fears, his own weaknesses, and gradually learn to be as sincere and open with others as he dreams people will be in his perfect world.  He is working towards becoming a Stronger version of himself that he dreams of.  Because how can he dream of his idealistic, empathetic world, without making such changes within himself too?  Even if just to prove to himself that his world can be forged out of the current unempathetic one, starting with himself.  And I think Claude demonstrates his willingness to face his weaknesses and grow past them, when he has his preconceived notions challenged during his Support conversations, and always ends them with a respect for the other person’s new perspective. He proves to be always willing ot change and grow.  The Support with Cyril opened Claude’s eyes to Almyra’s failings vs Fodlan/Church.  That’s why Claude never falls into seeing the Church or Rhea as purely evil or just an enemy to defeat, even though he recognizes that Fodlan might be better in some ways without the Church.  His Supports with Ignatz and Raphael, though too brief, brought Claude to appreciate a *little* better the values he never paid much attention to, like religious devotion and knighthood.  But maybe more importantly, during these shorter Supports, where it doesn’t seem like Claude has his mind changed drastically, he still allows himself to get roped into their dilemmas and help them with whatever THEY FELT was important, rather than insisting they were ridiculous, wasting time, or Claude simply not trying to understand.  Maybe it was more a demonstration of Claude’s practice in trying to empathize with others.  Even during Claude’s Support with Petra, where half of it is just them agreeing with each other and hinting at Claude’s “secret” foreign status, Petra introduces an idea to him (sleeping in a tree vs on the ground) which doesn’t personally make sense to him, but he still tries it anyway, several times, and comes to appreciate it. Even during Ingrid’s Support conversation, Claude tries to accommodate her by awkwardly trying to act more formal, like a typical nobleman.  And Claude’s Support with Shamir seemed to have been his way of confronting his own fears about “not belonging anywhere” by exploring Shamir’s example of being comfortable with “not belonging anywhere”.  Many of Claude’s interactions with others seem to center around him growing out of his weaknesses.  Now maybe a more cynical perspective may say that he purposefully chose to interact with his Support partners, in order to face his weaknesses and strengthen himself for his own advantages.  But doesn’t that just describe a good person?  Or a normal friendship?  I would hope that all participants in a friendship help each other grow or at least support each other towards such.  Isn’t that what friends are?  Even if just enjoying each other’s company to rejuvenate one’s emotional state.  Getting too cynical in interpreting Claude’s motives sound more and more like the old argument that “there is no completely selfless altruistic deed, because people can feel good themselves for doing something good for someone else”.  As if that was a bad thing.  I would much rather the world be filled with people who take joy in doing good for others!  Sounds like a good world, filled with good people.  Isn’t someone who takes joy in being as altruistic/selfless as a human can within human limitations, just describing a good person?  In the same way, interpreting Claude’s motivations with cynicism seems to just be going around in circles for no reason.  Maybe he wanted to become stronger by eliminating his weakness, by confronting his fears of genuine rapport with people, by proactively interacting with people in positive ways, until he became practiced at forging bonds, and eventually find genuine emotional rapport with others.  What’s so sinister about that?  If that’s what counts as “selfish”, then we’re back at the fallacy of calling people “bad” for “selfishly” taking joy in helping others.  Ultimately, Claude has good intentions and a dream of an empathetic world full of understanding and acceptance.  Maybe he has to force himself into earnest actions, until his emotional rapports with people become genuine.  But he’s making that effort, it says a lot that he wants that goal, and reaching his goal would create a world that’s good for everyone.  And anyway, with the frequency that Claude confronts and reckons with his flaws and misperceptions, he demonstrably keeps himself in-check, too much to expect him to no have self awareness at any time he was becoming too selfish or evil.  He questions himself too much and seems to enjoy exploring and fixing his flaws.  He’s not the type to let his ideologies become too extreme and detrimental to others, without self awareness about that and a need to immediately fix it.  

It really gets me that so many of these takes assume that Claude’s ultimate goals, for which he’s “manipulating everyone” for, are cold, cruel, and selfish ends.  He blatantly says during FE3H that his dream is for people to get along peacefully together, to understand and empathize with each other, and have tolerance for each other’s diversity.  This is the guy people are assuming has “MaLiCiOuS” intent, just because people are whispering his reputation to be a “schemer”????  

For the record, most of those rumors come from Claude himself.  Likely because of some internalized low self worth that’s been conveyed to him by his childhood home environment.  Thankfully, seems like he’s winning that struggle, since he can joke about it, but he still makes a show of portraying himself as “untrustworthy”, though jokingly.  Or maybe it’s just a habit to throw people off balance: a common survival tactic.  Or maybe he’s testing people, to see if they have the will to see past the surface and have faith in others, as he does.  Maybe he’s issuing a challenge for people to do so.  Though it may be a mistake to assume everyone is motivated by Defiance, the same way he is.  Or maybe he’s just throwing around so much misinformation, so that if his secrets (being an Almyran prince) were ever revealed, it would be difficult for anyone to be sure if it was just another rumor or not.  

Ultimately, don’t fall for Claude’s “schemer” image. As someone once said in another post, anyone who’s actually talked to Claude for 2 minutes will discover that his “big scheme” is just for everyone to get along and end racism.  And his relationships may have started as “manipulations”, but he obviously wants that genuine rapport and earnest caring for others, that the beginning motions of friendship may grow into.  And this is evident in the type of empathetic dream that he’s been striving for.  And if you want proof of his dedication to a such an altruistic dream, then look no further than the fact that if he didn’t believe he could make the people into a better world, then he’d have to give up on all hope in his life, given all the ways life tried to make him give up on good in the world.  

this is a second life rant type of video
please keep in mine all of this
is just my opinion about the whole matter.
