A Black couple living in Dallas say their 2-week-old daughter was taken from them because they decided to have a home birth with a midwife.

Home-births and midwifery services are increasingly sought out by Black pregnant people and families over traditional hospital settings amid a mounting maternal mortality crisis exacerbated by systemic medical racism. Black pregnant people are three to four times more likely than white pregnant people to die from pregnancy-related causes, per the CDC.

When Black pregnant people and families can’t feel safe seeking pregnancy and birth-related services from the hospital, and can’t feel safe choosing home births and home care options that draw police attention.

My partner and I decided that we’re going to collect ugly clocks. No real reason, we were just like “we need to start *a collection*” and then landed on clocks.

We’ve got this friend who goes to estate sales who knows about and endorses our decision to collect ugly clocks and, as such, is always on the look out for ugly clocks to buy for us.

Friends and Tumblrinas, she’s outdone herself this time.

This former Ramada Inn now operates as the Hotel Elite. What’s your favorite feature? Is it the fluorescent lighting? The gray laminate flooring? Or the massive guitar art on the staircase? 😵‍💫

(🍳) what if simon's wife is so much smaller than him that everyone thought that "how the hell did the lt got a petite wife" and imagined the two of them like that hamster eating a massive banana??

Omg.

Johnny is actively thinking about it with all the nasty details because helllooo! How cute is Simon's wife!!!

Johnny was also the one to bring up the hamster and the banana picture so now John can't look at Simon and his wife together.

Kyle's not humoring the conversation. Not yet anyway. He waits until he's behind closed doors to gossip with Johnny like hens.

It's giving

“Do you like scary movies?”

The rough voice on the other end of the phone asked. You paused for a moment, debating if you should hang up, or keep talking to the stranger. “Yeah, I do” you said, leaning on your counter. “What’s your favourite scary movie?” The mysterious voice asked. You thought of many either you and your friends had watched together at a sleepover, or you had just put on. “Hmm” you hummed in thought “I’d say….. The House of Wax” you smiled. “That’s not scary, but a classic” the voice said. You walked over to the other side of the room, stretching the phone cord from the wall. “Yeah yeah, still good” you shrugged. The voice chuckled then paused, “You gotta boyfriend?” The voice asked. Slightly confused by the random question yet still intrigued “why? You wanna ask me out on a date?” You joked. “Well, do you have a boyfriend?” You grinned, “No, I don’t” you walked back to the phone box. “You never told me your name, baby” Your mouth fell open slightly at the nickname. You didn’t know if you should be flattered or creeped out, but you were leaning towards the first. “Why do you wanna know my name huh?” You said, twirling the phone cord around your index finger “Cause I want to know who I’m looking at” Your heart seemed to drop and your breath caught in your lungs. “What?….” You said, your voice slightly shaky. “I want to know who I’m talking to” he said. Your heart rate sped up, “No no, that’s not what you said” your lunch wanted to come up just at the sheer thought of someone watching you. “Come on baby, we were just getting to know each other” the voice dripping of sarcastic poutyness. The only logical thing you think to do is hang up. You slam the phone on its spot on the wall. God why did you think it was a good idea to talk to strangers huh? You wanted to kick yourself. The phone started to ring again. You stared at it. Then ran upstairs to your room and slammed the door shut. You felt like you couldn’t breathe. This was like a horror movie. You heard foot steps coming up the stairs, and getting closer to your room. You stopped breathing and covered your mouth. You heard something scratch the door. “Baby, I know you’re in there. Just come out, I ain’t going to hurt you” the rough voice said, then chuckled. You backed up into a corner, carful not to make any noise. He pounded his hand onto the door, making it shake. “Get out here, or I will break this fucking door down.” His voice dropped. A few tears fell, as he continued to pound. You were frozen and had no idea what to do. The door could break off its hinges any minute. Just ask you were thinking of something, anything to do. CRACK. Your eyes darting over to the door as it fell to the ground. There stood a person with a ghost mask on. Taller then you, and definitely stronger then you. Fuck.
