Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

once again time to talk about my absolute panic when the dr suggested an episiotomy for Froggie and I was flipping out about 4th degree tears and she paused and goes “you’re American? Okay. We do them differently here. We cut sideways instead of down. You’ll be fine.”

Exactly this. Science is focused on ‘outcomes’, ie parent and child surviving birth, and that is important and we’ve made incredible strides but what’s been neglected is the entire experience of pregnancy and giving birth
Again, off on one of my pet tangents, but humanity had thousands of years where this kind of information *was* common knowledge, it was just knowledge that was held by women. And after the advent of modern medicine, patriarchal norms took over and that knowledge never became "science".

can confirm that fixing this would cost six figures, at a minimum, and just as a general rule if you like visiting old churches please do chuck a quid in their donation box
People complain about using the chemical toilet at church (our main toilet is broken and we can't afford the extremely expensive archeology required to fix it), and I'm like... Some volunteers will have to lug this across the city to empty and clean it. We are doing our best. Stop complaining.
