i work as a certified nurse-midwife

i help women meet their WANTED pregnancies every day.

in the last year, i’ve held a woman’s hand as she delivered the child she desperately wanted but who was never going to take a breath outside the womb, so she decided to do the merciful thing and stop the suffering

i’ve handed a baby to a woman who lost her last one at 35 weeks, for reasons we’ll never know

i’ve taken out the uterus of a woman who wanted more children, so that she wouldn’t bleed to death during the delivery of her child

and i’ve stood by a woman’s side while she lost her own life because of a pregnancy complication that was completely unavoidable

pregnancy is dangerous. things can turn at any instant.

so don’t you ever come at a woman and say she needs to carry a child to term. women die from pregnancy far FAR more often than they die from safe and legal abortions

asking a woman to give her life for a wanted pregnancy is horrible enough

asking her to give her life for an unwanted pregnancy is so much worse.

So I get home, right?  My phone goes off and the caller id shows it’s my manager.  I’m not… entirely happy about this (see: “I literally just got home”).  I answer anyway, and there’s some weird static?   I can’t get my manager to answer me and I start to worry.

I text her instead.

Her cat was fucking sitting on her phone and butt-dialed me.  The ‘static’ I heard was him purring.

the only kind of catcalling that’s acceptable, quite frankly.

My favorite thing about this post is how so many people were ready to fucking throw a punch at catcallers (of the despicable sort). I’m proud of u all.

TIL that in the DC universe, there’s an ordinary Earth housecat that was chosen to be a member of the Red Lantern Corps for the great rage in his heart.

Excuse u. Dex-Starr has a tragic backstory. He had a loving owner who was murdered in a break in and he avenged her and he is GOOD KITTY. 

absolutely true, but that vengeance DOES come from intense rage

That’s why he is the best kitty

as i recall, that was generally the thing for Red Lanterns? Like, they’re not just hormonal angry dicks. They have fury.

they’re also all terrifying.

especially Dex-Starr.

I support Dex Starr’s Righteous Anger because anyone who is awful to a cat deserves to be melted by Volcanic Space Blood

The veil is thin here. It’s thin everywhere. Of course it’s fucking thin. Who ever heard of a thick veil? That shit’s lightweight, even sheer.

Like, shit, Agatha. There’s a reason they don’t call it “the down comforter between worlds”.
