The Flexner Report marginalized midwifery & established the domination of obstetrics.

It also shut down all medical schools that were accessible to Black people.

Their misogyny exceeded their racism, but only just.

A mutually consultative relationship between midwifery & obstetrics is vital.
Prior to the intervention of physicians and hospitals, most women delivered unassisted or assisted by a relative or a #midwife. That changed in the early 20th century when physicians sought to gain a monopoly on the profitable field of #obstetrics.

We can afford food, clean water, housing, health care, a living wage & education for everyone.

We just can't afford endless welfare for billionaires.

Serve the needy, not the greedy.

Young people aren’t owed a living but landlords are owed accommodation supplement & subsidies, & employers are owed WfF so they don’t have to pay workers a decent wage & shareholders are owed $$ even if it means 120,000 households can’t afford electricity. #nzpol

I make all my umbilical cord ties myself, using hand-dyed threads.

These are a lovely & gentle alternative to the usual plastic clips.

"I loved your After Pain-ease tea. I got them pretty bad even after first birth. So doubtlessly going to have them again. I will definitely be replenishing anything I need again!" - Stephanie

This tea & tincture eases those intense uterine cramps, as the uterus is involuting.

Omg I'm gonna spam you with videos now!!

My daughters both have partners, who are beautiful humans who just happen to have been born somewhere other than Australia.

This is what happened when they stood up for immigrants - in Australia, a NATION of immigrants.

And why N@zis attacked my socials.

Wow ... can we post ... videos here now??

If you want to know why neo-Nazis attacked my socials & deactivated my accounts & lost me 50K followers (and of course Meta are useless, do nothing except give me the runaround) - it's because I defended my daughters, who were assaulted when they counter-protested a racist anti-immigration march.

This is Jacqueline with her newborn baby boy, taken by her eldest daughter just after he was born.

Jacqueline messaged me:

"Hi Julie,

Just a quick message while bub is asleep.

I can't thank you enough for the gift of your tinctures.

I gave birth to my son almost 2 years ago now ....

Look what my precious daughter picked for me!

I can't believe the bounty that the beautiful countryside around here offers us!

These violets grow wild all over the place at this time of year (early spring).

Their scent is just divine!

This one is purely just for fun.

I love baths, and I just felt like a really lovely, luxurious bath oil.

And, I love these hand-blown Egyptian glass ornamental bottles! There's something just Narnia about them.

It is pretty radical stuff.

"And rain will make the flowers grow"

- and it did.

This is today's crop of Calendula & other petals.

The Calendula is magnificent for using in bath blends & to make infused oil - it is rich in saponins which are anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial & antioxidant ...

Well this is encouraging!

My inbox:

"I just wanted to say that after a few days of using the herbal liquid I have more milk to give! Your stuff was recommended to me by my lactation consultant. I will be purchasing more!

Your products are amazing. I love the taste of the liquid by the way!"

When the winter lurgy strikes, it's good to have these in the house.

With all natural ingredients & no nasties, these teas & herbal Cough Syrup - oh, and the Elderberry Syrup of course! - are our go-to remedies.
