HumorEmilia Perez TiMs past coming out
As nobody will be shocked to hear, he's a racist, with a past of making racist remarks on Twitter(where else). Oof, someone should of told him to wipe his accounts before trying to be some sort of activist trailblazer in Hollywood(lol).
Honestly him and Hunter Schaffer always getting nominated for simply existing as a dudes in a dress is beyond me. They both fucking suck and they're both degenerates( Schaeffer's fucking psycho journal about wanting to be a woman because he loves the idea of being raped and other crap).
Also apparently him maligning his competition is against Oscar rules, like it's actually written they can't make any remark about the competition(ad, tweet, website etc). So we'll see how this is handled. Like the movie's entire nomination should be rescinded otherwise they're showing their ass to the entirety of Hollywood and the public. Do these awards and rules mean anything or not(personally not lol but I want to see how it goes down).
Good ol' Miss MA'AM is also comparing the movie's hate to the Holocaust, because of course he is. đĽ´đ¤Ą Your movie was pure shit guy, people just didn't like it, what in the genuine hell does a genocide have to do with it.
Literally any woman who has ever been pregnant could have told them this. This shit isn't news.
It just goes to show how woefully under-researched women's health is
No shit. Any mother will tell you the same. I've never been as hungry in my life as I was in my 3rd trimester and into the 4th, establishing breastfeeding. I'm talking waking up ravenous at 4am, scoffing cheese straight out of the fridge just to have a shot at going back to sleep.
While breastfeeding i would get so unbelievably hungry and thirsty, that was probably the most water Iâve ever drank in my life
I'm no scientist and I suffer from memory loss but duh Bones, muscles, teeth, organs, the whole extra blood, the entire placenta, this doesnt come from nothing!
Yet all those anti-abortionists treat women as if they merely receptacles--or garages--for the "pre-born baby" (and so-called surrogates are jokingly referred to "microwaves"). The work and toll of pregnancy on the woman is discounted.
Somehow I feel like they're lowballing the caloric debt here?
Especially when a deer has fawns about the same size as a human infant and requires over 2x the calories despite human brain development being a known huge drain on the body
Iâm surprised too. They estimate that gaining or losing a pound of fat takes 3500 calories. If a baby and a placenta was just stored fat, which is efficient stuff, 50,000 calories would gain you 14.28 pounds. But of course creating a baby with a brain that has a high oxygen need and a placenta is way more taxing than storing fat. An average baby is 7 pounds 6 ounces and an average placenta is apparently a pound. Iâm surprised itâs so efficient. Of course there is a lot of pressure for it to be.
Deer tend to have twins and I wish they specified if they were counting per fawn.
Iâve never been so hungry as I was when I was pregnant, and Iâm fairly athletic. And my pregnancies destroyed my ligaments and my teeth, to boot.
Mine fucked my teeth so bad. I used to never have issues and now I have tons
Your teeth???
Haven't heard that one yet!
Omg I was so paranoid because my mom had to have her swollen gums LASERED OFF when she was pregnant with my brother in 1981 and I asked the dentist in 2014 and they assured me âoh yeah we still have the laser if neededâ.
I made sure to take lots of vitamins because the fetus will take calcium and other minerals directly out of teeth and bones as needed.
One of the reasons women are told to space their pregnancies is so they can build back up their calcium and mineral supply. Too many children spaced too closely together is hell on the mother's bones and teeth.
I cut mine off with a hot butter knife. It was the early part of the pandemic and no one cared about my gums overgrowing. I couldn't stand them.
Have enamel loss and my teeth were brittle a while. Lost a fraction of a tooth after pregnancy was over, not chipped from the top but from the lower portion near the gum-line, it came out with flossing. Not in the area the gums were overgrown.
What does it mean when gums over grow ? Do they start to grow horizontally over the teeth? And how can you cut them? It sounds so painful .
As my mom described it - it swells up over your teethâŚ? I was horrified. I was also horrified they said âoh yeah we have that laserâ and not like âoh yeah we figured out you do X to prevent itâ. In 30+ years they basically did nothing.
They grow upward over the base of the teeth. They are tender and swell and bleed. Also itched a lot. Cutting them off hurt but it wasn't too bad. It gave extreme satisfaction and relief immediately. They came back and I had to do it again but the second time I wasn't scared at all. Cutting might be the wrong word I pressed them flat with the hot knife against my tooth until they were numb and broke off. No bleeding.
Pregnancy is bad for the gums. Some women lose teeth because of that. Also, it's definitely harder to take good care of your teeth while you're pregnant and often women can only stomach sugary and acidic drinks and they eat a lot of crackers for nausea and these are all horrible for your teeth and gums. And you want to eat constantly so it's harder to brush and floss adequately when you wake up hungry at 3 am.
Also sometimes gagging on my toothbrush made me puke (and gagging happened more easily than ever) and you can bet after puking in the sink I wasnât trying again.
Teeth actually fall out because of the hormones! We start producing relaxin in large quantities in the third trimester to loosen the ligaments and allow the pubic symphysis, a little joint at the bottom of the pelvis, to separate. It also prepares the cervix along with a few other hormones but it can make the teeth joints loose as well. Although the dietary changes absolutely have an effect too.
Reason #1,897,864 why I love this site! There are so many amazing women who educate each other on all things womanhood!
Yes, that's why I said that pregnancy is bad for the gums. The hormones affect the gums and then diet isn't helping. I forgot to also mention vomiting - it's really bad for your teeth and gums
Here is some more to add to the notorious viral (if based) list: https://yuniquethoughtslist.wixsite.com/yuni-s-pros-and-cons/the-list
I couldnât even make it through the first page; Iâm still in the midst of parenting and I have to be able to go on đ
I've never been pregnant but even I am not in the least surprised by this. What, aren't there any women on these research teams?
The first line of the article says:
It takes a lot of energy to grow a baby â just ask anyone who has been pregnant.
But the NY Times chose a headline that makes it seem as though all women do during pregnancy is "carry a baby" the way people would carry an infant or bag of groceries in our arms, a knapsack or bundle our backs, or water jugs and parcels on our heads.
Scientists Calculated the Energy Needed to Carry a Baby. Shocker: Itâs a Lot.
Morever, the headline the NYT chose assumes that the information imparted in this story will come as a real "shocker" to most readers. Which tells me that the NYT's headline writers take it on faith that NY Times readers have never grown a baby and are all utterly clueless about what that feat entails.
It would have been just as easy for the headline to say:
Scientists Calculated the Energy Needed to Grow a Baby. It's a Lot.
... as though all women do during pregnancy is "carry a baby" the way people would carry an infant or bag of groceries in our arms, a knapsack or bundle our backs, or water jugs and parcels on our heads.
Honestly that was the first thing that came to my mind when I read the headline: I was like, why would it be any more/less than carrying an equally weighty sack of potatoes or building materials? Then I remembered that "carry a baby" can also mean pregnancy :P
It still feels like they are trying to biohack women's pregnancy with this study. Where's the studies for countering all the complications women face in pregnancy?
There are many studies on pregnancy, what complications do you think need to be countered?
Anyone able to share it without the pay wall? I would appreciate it, thank you!

Yeah, it was obvious to me that the NHS advice was wrong. It was something like, âOnly in your third trimester will you need extra calories, and even then only 200 a day!â
Like⌠what about growing a whole new organ in the first trimester? Why did I feel super hungry from the very beginning (when not nauseous) and need 4 meals a day, eat them, but not put on any extra fat?
It was the same with all pregnant women I know, we were all wayyy more hungry than 200 extra calories a day. How could anyone think we needed only that much?!
200 calories a day? That reminds me of the official âfactâ that women only produce like 2 tablespoons of menstrual fluid per period.
I thought that was just that two tablespoons of that fluid that comes out is actual pure blood. Of course it's a lot more fluid than that but apparently most of it is not blood
That menstrual blood thing never seemed right to me either. I wonder how full a single pad or tampon would be with two tablespoons of liquid poured on it. This would put the lie to that nonsense.
Does the NHS actually say that increased energy needs are only in the third trimester? Everything else says you need more calories in the second trimester and it's 300 extra, not 200.
Btw, while growing the placenta is exhausting for women, many pregnant women can barely eat anything in the first trimester because of nausea/vomiting and food aversions and some even lose weight but that doesn't seem to harm the baby. However, gaining weight in the second and third trimester for normal weight women is very important
The NHS is paranoid about women being overweight, and keeping a womanâs weight down is evidently more important to them than the truth.
The NHS sadly has a lot of bias and âblame the patientâ attitudes, this is just one of them. Donât get me wrong, itâs a good service to have, but my god you need to be able to advocate for yourself of youâll not end up well. In any sense.
Being overweight is pretty bad and gaining too much weight during pregnancy is also bad with a lot of complication, such as gestational diabetes, preclamsia, etc. This is true. However, I have heard horror stories about how they treat pregnant and birthing women in the UK, with their emphasis on "natural" birth and midwife led prenatal care.
It depends on the NHS Trust (region). When I asked my midwife at my GP surgery which hospital I should choose to give birth in, she said, âYou have a choice of X (the closest), Y or Z. If I were you, Iâd go for X, itâs the only one locally that hasnât been in special measures đâ
It actually turned out to be really, really good. But as TheKnitta says above, you need to be able to advocate for yourself. If youâre well informed and know what buzzwords get you an appointment with a specialist, youâre grand. But if you donât, the system is so automated (in that 1 happens, then 2 then 3 and you get a letter here, and a scan there, and no deviations) that itâs hard to get them to deviate for you.
Did they let you get an epidural?
They would have done.
I had a planned C section (as I had already had an emergency C section with my elder child) and they let me choose that.
They let me choose âif the baby hasnât arrived naturally by X days after the due date, weâll have a C sectionâ which was quite flexible of them I guess. I was happy with that choice, though it was in part driven by the fear that if I tried to insist on a natural birth, I might need to be induced (with reduced options due to previous C section), have it not really work (as it did with baby number 1), and end up with an emergency C section performed by massively overstretched and exhausted staff đ
So I wanted either a âproperâ natural birth or a planned C section, no half measures. They were totally on board with all that.
Did you ever have problems requesting an epidural?
No, I have never had to interact with the NHS, it's just stories I read online and some stuff I heard from acquaintances
The NHS doesnât know itâs arse from its elbow half the time, and itâs only patients advocating for themselves/remembering and repeatedly requesting treatments/meds they should have etc that anyone gets by. Thereâs a huge amount of red tape and a distinct lack of teamwork and attention to detail. Itâd help if staff werenât overworked for a start, but the attitude of the NHS as an entity towards patients is pretty awful.
Wow, very different from here:
https://health.gov/news/202202/nutrition-during-pregnancy-support-healthy-mom-and-baby
Increased energy needs: Women with a healthy pre-pregnancy weight need about 340 - 450 extra calories per day from nutrient-dense choices during the second and third trimester. Needs may be different for women with a pre-pregnancy weight that is overweight or obese
And I don't think toast with margarine is nutrient dense...
Itâs especially hilarious because in the twin/higher order multiple community thereâs discussion about food and calories and water and itâs always more more more. I probably ate at minimum 4000 calories with two placentas throughout the pregnancy until the end when my tummy was squished.
Once more men assuming women are passively doing nothing (while strategically taking for granted the fruits of women's labor) until they're shocked to 'discover' that actually women do quite a lot.
