Kim kardashian she's mixed with white(she west asian armenian)from her biological father side but anyway she still appropriate black culture and took benefit from it. Non black woman try so hard into black woman safe space to get benefit from it. Kim kardashian have her own culture that she could embrace but hey she would rather take profit from black culture

The reason why I said Kim Kardashian is a white woman is the fact that she be acting like her Armenian side doesn’t exist … It was only recently when she visited the country, where we could really see that she had some ties to the Armenian culture, but overall the entire Kardashian family likes to pretend that they don’t have that culture. And also the reason why I said Kim Kardashian is a white woman is because she 100% benefits from white privilege and overall likes to pretend that she isn’t mixed. Kim Kardashian could literally be an ethnic trendsetter by bringing Armenian culture into the 21st-century and adding her own flare… But sadly I just know she won’t do that.

Georgia will shut down its commercial surrogacy industry in 2024

Michael Cook

September 14, 2023

The war in Ukraine is changing the geography of commercial surrogacy. Before the war, Ukraine was the surrogacy capital of Europe, with good medical care, loose regulation, and an abundant supply of poor young women. Surrogacy agencies in Kyiv and elsewhere are still operating, but parents and surrogacy brokers are on the hunt for other countries. Ukrainian surrogates are also travelling to countries like Greece, North Cyprus, and Georgia to be impregnated and gestate their baby. 

Further disruption is expected, as a conservative government in nearby Georgia has announced that it will ban commercial surrogacy from 2024. In June Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili declared that a ban was needed to protect surrogate mothers and children and to prevent human trafficking. He also warned that surrogacy agencies might place babies with gay couples, which is forbidden in Georgia. Altruistic surrogacy will be permitted, but only for Georgians. 

“Foreign citizens have turned this issue into a business, and in recent years, there is no regulation at all regarding this issue”, said Mr Garibashvili. “I do not want to put it harshly, but there are orders made [for children]. This is also happening online, [where] there are too many advertisements, and we think it is very disturbing to leave this issue unregulated”.

An Australian surrogacy consultant, Sam Everingham, told Al-Jazeera that “With Georgia being unable to cope with this increased demand since the outbreak of the war, what that’s meant now is increased pressure on places that have got reliable programmes like Canada and the USA, and increased uptake of programmes in countries which are sort of emerging, such as Argentina, Mexico and even Uganda.”

Armenia is another country in the Caucasus which welcomes surrogacy. According to a feature in the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, Armenian surrogates must be aged between 18 and 35, have at least one child of their own and, if married, have the written consent of her husband. She must undergo medical and genetic testing to ensure she is healthy. A surrogate cannot be the egg donor.

Saw something on Instagram that gave me pause thought I'd post a little about it. There was some confusion on women wearing a scarf as a head covering (someone confused it with Hijab in the comments) but head coverings span many cultures and are in Christianity too.

Women across all kinds of cultures wore head scarves and some still do. Italy, Greece, Nordic traditions and other middle eastern countries that aren't primarily Muslim (like Armenia) wear/wore head coverings and scarves. Christianity at one point required women to cover their heads during mass. Older, often married women would wear head coverings to signify they are married or the head of the household. In some places in Europe that lasted for a very long time before being overturned.

Italy's legend of La Befana (the good witch that comes after Christmas) is depicted with a scarf (not a witches hat) traditionally.

Cool stuff! Head coverings have a (now complicated) and long history.
