Bethlehem University's midwifery program is one of only two in the West Bank that includes family household visits.

Students go into villages. Into homes. Into places where women give birth without access to hospitals. While in Gaza women give birth in tents and rubble, in the West Bank 900 checkpoints limit movement and access.

In Bethlehem, midwives are trained to manage out-of-hospital births. To assist women giving birth at home, in crisis, when things don't go as planned.

Like 2,000 years ago, when a young mother in Bethlehem gave birth in a stable because there was no room in the inn.

The Midwives of Bethlehem

Bethlehem University trains 35% of all midwifery students in the West Bank. BU-trained midwives are the main providers of antenatal care in UNRWA clinics-serving Palestinian refugees and families with nowhere else to turn.

my family has a really long relationship with Bethlehem University, a Catholic college in the West Bank that was really important to my mother. they’re running a December donor drive for their nursing & midwifery programs if you want to get me a Christmas gift I’ll love 💕

I CAN NOW CONFIRM, this was a great-great-grandmother on my mother’s side. I was initially told this was a cousin, but apparently I was led astray.

He passed away in 2019, two weeks before another grandfather—my father’s father—passed away from cancer.

I wrote a poem about their passings. It’s one of my favorites I’ve ever written. It still hasn’t found its home, but I hope it does someday.

I figured out his routine eventually, but then he was scary in a different way because I never knew how to one-up his shtik.

Willard was one of my grandfathers. He was my mom’s step-father. When I was little, I saw him as stoic and stern and scary. Little did I know, he was the biggest jokester alive. He leaned into me thinking he was scary—he’d prank me every time I said good-bye by barking like a dog every time.

a close-up of a lit holiday tree with white lights glowing, focused on a white, wooden star ornament that is outlined in red dashes, has a red bow of yarn on top, and a loved one’s name in the middle in black ink: Willard Eastwood Jr.

My town’s holiday décor includes Memory Trees, where a very kind soul volunteers their time to make an ornament to dedicated to a passed loved one every year. I try to find all of my relatives on it each holiday season since their ornament location changes. I have only found one so far.

a young woman in a long beige winter coat on an small iron bridge in a wooded area, with a bright blue sign reading “if you kiss a girl on this bridge, you will marry her – local legend.” in off-white font

My partner, Josh, took this photo while we went on a neighborhood walk 🥹🤧 We kissed on that bridge after I graduated from St. Michael’s College and I brought him home to meet my folks.

Entire staff at federal agency that funds libraries and museums put on leave The staff of the Institute of Museum and Library Services was placed on administrative leave this morning, following a meeting between IMLS leadership and DOGE staff.

This is going to harm small and rural libraries and the communities they serve. Now is the time to:

➡️ Sign up for a local and state library card (if your state offers one)

➡️ Visit your IMLS funded museums

➡️ Call your legislators and demand they stand up for funding America’s libraries and museums

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
