Yes, THIS.

Roberta Flack, the Grammy-winning soul and R&B vocalist and educator who penned massive hits with “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” and “Killing Me Softly with His Song,” has died at age 88.

And Hitler did roughly 92 years ago.

It's giving B613. All of this.

And Hitler did roughly 92 years ago.

EXACTLY.

And why he did every possible nefarious thing under the sun to ensure it. Yes, I believe it was rigged. 🤷🏻‍♀️

And maga will lose the shell game long before they realize it. Aka, the find out era we are just beginning to witness.

The irony of Christian nationalism not being “Christian” is not lost on me in the least bit, being a deprogrammed and reformed southern Baptist. 😂 It has overtaken Christian values, in large part. It’s the underbelly of the cult, which has been biding its time. Its second nature is to lie and fool.

Those people are so far gone that he can speak all of his evil and moronic intentions out loud, and that is their gospel now. I mean, an armed insurrection wasn’t a dealbreaker, so why would his people contradicting long held “Christian values” be a dealbreaker?

The cult is a bit of a phenomenon Cheetolini has used to his advantage. He doesn’t respect them or believe in the same things (for the most part). They were a means to an end. He doesn’t really need them anymore, but I believe he enjoys being worshipped.

I think only a few things united maga initially, primarily white supremacy/bigotry and anti-choice sentiments. Fractures were bound to appear sooner this time around since there appears to be no one sane minding any rules. The party is far more unhinged and unchecked now, imo. Far more dangerous.

I think when you only surround yourself with “yes” people, you believe that every thought you have is brilliant and must be shared. Reminds me of a few specific idiots front and center in the incoming administration.

No offense taken, and I completely agree.

It’s kinda like the quicksand of the 80’s. Lol. I was truly led to believe that it would play a much larger role in managing complications as a primary midwife!

resolving shoulder dystocias. Sure, it’s a legitimate concern to be watchful of, but it’s not a fear that I personally carry as a midwife. Subsequently, I feel that’s why I have rarely seen them in nearly 1000 births. I’m patient. Less than 5 that I can recall…and all babies were healthy and fine.

Pulling on the head of a delivering baby because they want to get past that worry point more quickly is much more likely to impact the anterior shoulder, creating the very thing they were so scared of facing. I’m fortunate to have trained with several of the best in the world at avoiding and/or

No, I absolutely believe they did. It’s a much-feared complication, but it’s often (not always) caused by the provider. It’s fascinating to me how much fear and trauma some birthworkers bring into the birth room. I see midwives pull on babies when they’re scared—exactly like what OB’s do.

What he may not understand (or doesn’t care to anyway), is that this increases the maternal mortality and morbidity of birthing people. It’s also another attack on bodily autonomy if unnecessary cesareans start trending again.

A contracted pelvis, however, is not resolvable. Those babies will only come out “healthy” with surgery. So, my concern about Musk’s somewhat dimwitted statement is that he might be too interested in increasing the cesarean rate for specific populations to force some type of twisted evolution.

Shoulder dystocias are actually fairly uncommon amongst well-trained out-of-hospital midwives. I’ve seen more vaginal breech births than concerning shoulder dystocias in my career. The Zavanelli Maneuver is rare for a reason—shoulder dystocias are typically resolvable.

I’m well acquainted with the medical model versus the midwifery model in obstetrics. A pelvis (pelvic inlet and outlet) being inadequate to facilitate the birth of a normal/healthy baby’s head is a different complication than a shoulder dystocia.

I know what eugenics is, and definitely his intention overall—but he’s more than hinting at an aspect of evolution that could really piss off Christian nationalists. They can get behind eugenics, but can’t and won’t support the assumption of evolution. That’s a talking point to be exploited, imo!

💯

This is a bigger concern than we’re giving credit, imo. Birthing options are another form of exercised bodily autonomy by (primarily) women.

As a midwife I’ve weighed in, but don’t have enough characters here to explain fully where I’m coming from. The twisted evolution aspect he’s proposing is super interesting, though. Guessing maga will love it—not. 😂
