these are two slightly different things but the point is that academia runs on two things: helping others and holding grudges. often at the same time and for the same people. we cannot lose this

“the wide afternoons of before” is one of the best descriptions of pre-children writing time, as a mirage post- children

Can I add: the CARE this movie was made with is so obvious. Nothing slapped together. Every part of it intentional. Would be great to see more of that in Hollywood. That's why people went to see it. They know the makers care about their film and it shows

*leaps in* also, stop talking on behalf of women. I support trans rights and welcome trans women in women only spaces. You're not talking on behalf of women, you're talking on behalf of a small group of people who have made their obsession with trans people everyone else's problem

I would argue that midwifery is actually the oldest profession. A number of other mammals have similar practices of checking in on herd members labouring. We have the capacity to help each other and we have always done this. THAT is natural. To help is to be human.
