@Dana @Haikyoneko @fgbjr no problem! knowledge is power (france is bacon)

@Haikyoneko @fgbjr @Dana no? it’s pretty standard in anglo labours too. if you have any specific requests while going birth/during your hospital stay, who you want present, if you are hoping to breastfeed or use formula, if you’re going to be using hypnobirthing techniques or if you want to be involved in cutting the umbilical cord etc etc. Depending on the hospital you can even request music, lighting, room conditions for labour, and so on.

@Haikyoneko @fgbjr that you still have to go somewhere to print out if you don’t have a home printer 🥲 not great when you only go between hospital and home and can’t really walk 😅

@fgbjr i’d have to go to a conbini to scan it in to make a pdf and i can’t walk down/up the hill 😅 time to suffer it is 💔

@takosix first the spine and now this 😭 please stay in one piece, child!!

@takosix oh god poor kid. fingers crossed it’s not something that requires a lot of medical attention 😭

“The feminists are right! We don’t need men!!”
- my husband after one of the toddlers took his trousers off and got his penis out for the 100th time this evening

@stopthatgirl7 oh so it’s true? wow nice when boycotts actually work

edit: comments saying possibly upwards of $3.8bn?? if that’s a reliable estimate, wow

@fetchezlavache @Dana welcome back!!

@jeffowski I would feel very uncomfortable with that question! Because the majority of the time the answer is “not really” but I know that I’m not supposed to say things like that at work. That question would put me in a position where I’d either have to say something I know I shouldn’t, or lie, and I am not happy with either of those options. #ActuallyAutistic

@Dana HOLY SHIT this makes me want to throw up, oh my god.

@selzero that’s me out then, I can’t even do one! 😂

I had a dream about my dad last night 🥲 we were driving through the country lanes where I grew up, with autumn leaves everywhere… and now I’m… not disruptively sad, but still a tiny bit glum that my husband + kids never got to meet him 💔🍂 (he died 16 years ago)

@Dana oh Dana don’t 🙈

@stopthatgirl7 @axios imagine what could be done if that happened more often!!!!

gotta love automated moderation tools 😶
