"And if you were to place a map of white evangelical Protestants over maps of women dying young and overdosing on drugs and going without jobs , they'd line up. Poor white people with the least education, who live in areas with high concentrations of evangelical Protestants, are the ones who are dying young."

Today in Labor History June 7, 1913: The radical labor union, IWW, held a fundraising pageant at Madison Square Gardens. The production featured songs and a reenactment of events from the ongoing Paterson strike. It was created and performed by 1,000 mill workers from the silk industry strike. John Reed organized a march of strikers into Manhattan for the pageant.

That any #patient is made to suffer (negligence is always deliberate, even if subconscious) for years, decades, a lifetime, simply because the #medical establishment lacks rigor is a condemnation of the profession.

4/4 I'm surprised that this idea hasn't percolated into the Indian start-up space - I mean there are insurance start-ups, of course, but not women-centric or women-focused insurance brands yet as far as I know. The pitch is instantly relatable to a potentially large segment of Indians who may be financially underserved or seen through the male perspective and hence may feel unseen/ignored.

Blind and visually impaired women are being trained to detect breast cancers. They are able to find smaller lumps than sighted physicians. Not only is this helping to protect women from cancer, it is giving important jobs to women who would otherwise be very unlikely to support themselves.

The #GOP wants to return to the era when #women were the property of men, to be used for purposes of procreation, male pleasure and/or housekeeping, unable to control their own bodies or their own lives without male permission.

Many #Autistic #Elder #Women who spent much of their lives #Masking, as well as those of us of any gender with #EatingDisorders might identify with a passage at the end of the original story of #TheLittleMermaid
by Hans Christian Andersen.
I know I do. I'll be quoting the passage in a reply to this post.
The new film ends in a very satisfying but different way: romantic love between humans and merpeople is possible, but the bonds of family are just as strong. Oh and by the way, just go and see it on the big screen. Worth it at any price.
But for those of us who found something to identify with in the predicament of the "fish out of water" who could not speak to explain herself or her importance... well, a lot of us don't make it to the age I have. I am blessed to have arrived at something like what's described below, but rest assured I'm still alive and kicking.

Today in Labor History May 26, 1824: Women and girls led the first recorded factory strike in US history. 102 women and girls walked off the job at Slater Mill, in Pawtucket, and picketed their factory.
Two days prior, the owners had increased working hours by an hour per day with no additional pay. Additionally, they slashed the pay of power-loom weavers by 25%. Those affected were all women and girls aged 15 to 30. According to the bosses, the girls had already been earning “extravagant wages.”
The owners were caught off guard. They were not expecting a protest. Indeed, no U.S. factories had ever experienced a strike. Perhaps even more shocking, other workers and community members joined them in solidarity. They blockaded the mills and hurled rocks at the mansions of the owners. On the final day of the week-long strike, workers set one of the mills on fire. The next day, the owners agreed to negotiate and agreed on a compromise.

Rest in Peace , Anna Mae Bullock aka Tina Turner. She was one of the best selling artists of all time and one of the architects of soul, rock, pop, and so much more. She has been called the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Tina’s powerful and provocative voice was only matched by her energetic and awe-inspiring dancing. She was a magnificent force in the world of music and other areas of the arts. She rose from poverty and abuse and lived proudly through her artistry. What an inspiration!

Six weeks pregnant does NOT mean 6 weeks after conception.
Weird, but true.
Medically, women are considered pregnant apx 2 weeks BEFORE actual conception.
Many women don't even know they're pregnant at 6 weeks.

"In March, five #women... sued #Texas after enduring medical nightmares when they were refused abortions for pregnancies that had gone awry. Since then, the Center for Reproductive #Rights says it has heard from dozens of women in Texas with similar accounts. And this week, eight more women, each with her own harrowing story, joined the suit, which asks a state district court to clarify the scope of emergency medical exceptions to Texas’ #abortion ban."
