Hey Tumblr! Black women in the US are at a higher risk of dying from pregnancy-related complications. Let's address this issue during Black Maternal Health Week. We can eliminate racial disparities in maternal health by addressing systemic racism and poverty and supporting access to quality healthcare services. Join us in advocating for policy changes and supporting community-based organizations working towards improving maternal health outcomes for Black women.
Black Maternal Health Week: Addressing Racial Disparities in Maternal Health
Maternal health is an essential issue in the United States, and Black Maternal Health Week is a week-long initiative aimed at addressing the racial disparities in maternal health outcomes. The week takes place every year from April 11th to April 17th, and it is an opportunity to raise awareness about the challenges faced by Black women during pregnancy and childbirth. The Centers for Disease…

Can we talk about motherhood and ADHD or any other neuro divergent disorders?
Cause like I’m dying. From the crumbs in my bed to becoming a human jungle gym…… Im having sensory overload and I. Am. Dying.
I can get extremely irritated and mean and I don’t wanna be but how can I tell a one year old “mommy doesn’t want to be touched, hugged, kissed or climbed on right now” ? I can’t. So I just take it and my brain goes fucking bizurk.

Looking back at Girl Meets World, it will forever irritate me especially for how they handled/treated Angela. Oh this show really hated black women because how do you not only 1.) describe her, one of (correct me if I'm wrong) only few black and MAIN characters of the og show, as a "concept" 2.) have characters show obvious disgust at the small mention of her name 3.) depict her as a homewrecker for a new relationship that, really, shouldn't have ever happened 4.) have her old friends treat her like dirt and her old lover like she is the root of his problems, when there was nothing but positive love there 5.) reuse all the concepts from said previous love story just to elevate the new ship with a yte woman and 6.) compare her to Hurricane Katrina, one of the deadliest hurricanes that caused significant numbers of death, harm, misplacement, and trauma to people, largely of whom were black? Mind you, all these points I mentioned were toward the only main black character of the OG show before the spinoff, and the only, from what I can remember, black female character of the spinoff who didn't even stay long. Not even getting into the racist drama with some of the members on set, but you cannot look me in the eye and tell me that the way the show handled Angela, her story, and her relationship with the other characters + Shawn wasn't fucking disrespectful, you can't because I won't believe you.
#boy meets world#girl meets world#like this show had so many issues (from its depiction of autism to religious intolerance to supporting grooming)#but this was a whole other level#it was especially hurtful as a young black girl to see growing bc i really tried to like this show with its lacking diversity#but coming from watching bmw to this a show from the 90s that depicted a black character better than a 2010s show- u get my point#and its so wrong bc it depicts angela as being the one to end the relationship when all she said in bmw how she#didn't want to see her leaving as a goodbye and there was ambiguous hope for the future#also shoving shawn to be with maya's mom was really unnecessary#not only bc of how it depicted being raised in a single parent household so negatively#but that the only way to solve maya's problems was for her...to have a dad? like that really isn't how it works#i blissfully live in the delulu where angela and shawn came back together once she left europe and he eventually married her#after they graduated college and have a beautiful family together#shawn x angela#don't even get me started on how whenever there was a guest cameo it was met audience applause and happy reactions#but when it was for angela: crickets 😬#back to maya- i feel like it would have been better for her story if shawn didn't marry her mother (and was with angela) and u would see her#hope and wish for the opposite to where it nearly consumes her only to finally be sat down and informed that#even if shawn isn't with your mom he'll still be in your life as a father figure no matter what#i personally feel like that would've been better#but this is largely just s rant so forgive the structure of it al

a complex sirius who loves his family, especially his mom, is so much more tragic and nuanced and interesting than a sirius who flat out hates his family and i will die on that hill
#it’s more realistic too honestly#when you experience consistent emotional abuse from your family usually a big part of it is gaslighting#and no matter how much we hate it we can’t make ourselves stop loving our parents#a sirius who silently cries in the middle of the night because he misses his mom is so much more real#he hates them and loves them and wants to escape them but doesn’t know how to live without them#i will die on this hill#you can’t tell me i’m wrong#sirius#sirius black#walburga black#black family#noble and most ancient house of black#orion black#regulus black#marauders#marauders era#aurillio rambles

it's so telling when someone says radical feminism is "white woman shit" and you bring up the fact that in many places such as africa or asia, the only feminism that prominently exists is radical feminism, and for those places it's just considered regular feminism that you get told those women live in places that aren't progressive enough for them to understand their actions properly. to say these women are too dumb to realize that their beliefs are "bad" simply because they don't align with western mainstream liberal feminism is rooted in xenophobia and racism, not to mention a lack of understanding of the struggles and violence women from these countries regularly go through, which can range anywhere from fgm to men rubbing and wiping their cum on the back of women's clothes in trains. but of course, as usual, there's no intelligent response to this so you just end up getting blocked or get rape wished on you.
#my grandma was born and raised in south sudan she considers herself a feminist and her beliefs#along with all of the women she knows believe in what radfems believe in#being against things like surrogacy forced marriage harmful sex culture misogyny male violence and femicide#i live in a primarily hispanic/black area and literally the only people who try to push gender shit on us is white people#and if you say you don't believe in all that you get called an ignorant white supremacist#white people put the mirror down when you're calling non white people white supremacists#anyway today's rant is brought to you by a white guy who told me (a non white darkskin child of 2 immigrants)#that of course i didn't understand gender politics because i'm too privileged#and then went on to say women in south korea aren't 'booksmart' enough to realize their corset movement is a 'terf' movement.....#my mom always tells me do not engage with white people who want to play devil's advocate with race based matters#and yet here i am doing it again lol#/rambling

sonic and shadow can have one more baby as a treat,but its gonna look kinda like black doom and its name is gonna imply that hes gonna kill king arthur who is sonic,,just how it goes cant change this
do not worry tho,take this drawing of him and his siblings,,so happy
#i think ive kinda formulated their characters in my head#heather is a human who wants to be more and actively goes head to head with other mobians who are much stronger and keeps pace with sonic#they transfer to a human school for high school and she is shocked to learn that human teenagers typically cannot punch or kick down walls#june is a hedgehog whos very chill with human life and loves relaxing and decorating his room like a teenage girl for self care#and shadow also gifts him pastel painted weaponry to display.unloaded.sonic would do unspeakable things to shadow if they had ammo#mordred is more stoic but still a sweetheart and upon learning what the black arms are he tries his best to be what black doom wasnt#if not for the world then because it makes his mom shadow knowing that hes nothing like his grandfather even tho shadow loves him anyway#so cute.anyway yeah merlina says that king arthur will be killed by his son mordred and i think at the end sonic is the true king arthur#and that does not deter my from naming him that no matter how sweet he is#sonadow fankid

When it comes to Colorism and texturism in tv and movies, it’s a very gendered issue.
I don’t know if any of y’all have noticed, but Black men will hardly, if ever, let a biracial who’s lightskinned, has below type 4 curls, and has Eurocentric features play them in any type of way. From what I’ve observed, when it comes to modern tv shows and movies their representation is leaning more towards the dark skinned side.
Meanwhile, black women and girls are actively played by biracials who are very light, very loose when it comes to hair texture, has some Eurocentric features. One of the few times we get darkskinned representation, it’s usually going to be in some very masculinizing, or an angry black woman, or a sidekick(There are exceptions like Lunella from Moongirl and Devil Dinosaur).
But what I’m trying to say is, how is it that the media remembers that darkskinned black men and boys can exist in roles that aren’t demeaning in some way, but suddenly it’s a hard task to portray darkskinned black woman and girls?
If they can give black men and boys good darkskinned representation, they can give black women and girls ours.
#colorism#misogynoir#texturism#a good example of this is Gus and Luz from toh#they made sure to let the audience know Gus is a black boy on a magical island but Dana has to tell people that Luz#the main character is Afro-Dominican#Cus people kept thinking luz wasn’t Afro-Latino#also for those of you who are going to say but the show confirmed that luz and her mom used to straighten their hair!#That’s why luz didn’t have coily or curly hair and people couldn’t tell she was black#new flash! just because a black person strqightens or relaxes our hair doesn’t mean we suddenly become racially ambiguous#you can tell who a black person is and what they look like no matter the hairstyle

the whole thing about sanji being "weak", "sentimental", "empathetic", etc etc etc. (and all the adjectives people traditionally has used for women) is that it could work for both transfem and transmasc sanji. and it makes me so unbelievably happy that this lil cook has so much gender in his system that it works no matter what,,
#like yeah you can say that she's transfem bc she was a 'mistake' among the brothers and literally shares qualities with her sister and mom#or you can say he's transmasc because he's a boy but was constantly percieved as femenine and weak#no matter what you choose the point is: fuck the vinsmokes#one piece#black leg sanji#transfem sanji#transmasc sanji

Fedyor and Ivan, hovering in the hallway outside the war room, playing the world's quietest game of rock paper scissors ("best of three!") to decide who has to go firmly separate the General from the Little Palace's best vodka and put his ass to bed and maybe talk him through how to process getting ghosted by a girl like a normal person
#sab headcanons#listen i am terribly soft for ivan/fedyor Mom-Friending kirigan#give me ivan draping a blanket over him and turning out the light when sasha conks tf out at his desk#fedyor bringing him dinner when he gets caught up in work and forgets to eat all day bc if u wont come to the food the food will come to u#long-suffering exasperatedly fond manservants & boss who is both highly competent and a total moron#ivan blankly listening to kirigan strategise at 90mph because he has An Idea and hes using ivan as a web dev's rubber duck#'i just smile and nod. i have no idea what he's on about but i dont think that actually matters to him'#long and involved debates on long journeys in the black carriage because its awkward otherwise#sharing A Look™ across the room when like. david does something weird or the queen is condescending or the king is an asshole#'yes sir i took notes that whole meeting bc you had your Mooning Over The Sun Summoner face on'#ivan kaminsky#fedyor kaminsky#sab
