My great grandfather fought in it. He was in artillery and said very little except that they struggled to move the guns without going over bodies. Just unimaginable carnage.

Ugh! So grateful to my OB for telling me I could take Tylenol PLUS blow through my coffee allowance on headache days if it helped things. Sorry you experienced that.

The bot prefers “spontaneous!” 💙 I opted for an elective induction just b/c of being “high risk” and was proven completely right… (thanks preeclampsia) I’m certain that avoiding the mainstream pregnancy community made it all so much easier to handle though.

Avoiding all this was a real “bonus” of IVF. My favorite infertility pregnancy group on Reddit has a little bot that flags the word “natural” and tells you off for using it 😂 It was the only place I could go to discuss things like induction, etc., and not be pilloried for it.

it's related I think to how liberal funders and institutions are allergic to spending on progressive media (eg how CAP shuttered ThinkProgress). rather than invest in that kind of long-term project the money vanishes into the election consultant maw

Likewise the economic models for MA’s are very different here so the comparison isn’t necessarily a neat one. Point still stands though!

Plus students declaring minors... I’ve taught 50-strong art history courses to students coming mostly from other departments. STEM students get so overwhelmed by it. It’s quite fun!
