Hey Pinterest! If you're out there, please add a "no AI" option. I want to see real suggestions. My feed is so littered with AI junk that it's almost useless at this point for anything new. It's sad.

Kids of readers, read. The opposite is true. With so many diversions that are designed to distract, it's no wonder. "Many adults don’t know how to read, or read only at a primary school level, and it’s getting worse. “A major focus must be in investing in educating entire families.”

I needed a D&C after my miscarriage. These laws really hurt women and demonstrate a lack of expertise about women's reproductive health.
More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.
Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care.
“This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

Been watching young men/trad wives content trying to understand their perspective but I ask, would people in the structure gladly swap roles with everyone else? If yes, it's egalitarian and fair. If not, it's oppressive and not practical for the greater society nor the rule of law.
