I posted this a week ago or so ago. This woman is sort of adjacent to us in a way that I will be elliptical about, for reasons that will soon become clear.https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1407602777660948483?s=19 …
eigenrobot added,
eigenrobot @eigenrobotsuppose you know of a woman who is marginally functional, eg she doesn't know how to get information or read particularly well but will understand things if shown this woman has in the past week had a baby and is floundering. she mostly lacks support. where can she find help?Show this thread1 reply 4 retweets 109 likesShow this thread -
when we talk about back row Americans this woman is the sort of person who should perhaps come to mind for you. her IQ has been tested and it was in the low 90s. she is not out of the ordinary

she should not have gotten pregnant. she is not married. she does not have consistent employment. there are multiple potential fathers. she nevertheless deliberately got pregnant because she was envious of another woman who had a baby

all right. so what is to be done considering this fait accompli well, one might suggest that her extended family pitch in to help her. or perhaps social organisations or government.

unfortunately her dysfunctional extended family is working against her. one of her relatives is envious of *her* having a baby and decided that the appropriate response is to fabricate CPS reports to attempt to have the baby put in foster care
