    You may be hearing the argument that before the rise of modern commercial infant formula, babies all ate breastmilk and everything was great. As a historian of infant feeding, let me tell you why that’s not true.

    protests have been remarkable in their sustained peacefulness - building a village w/resources, driven w/solidarity & a higher focus to improve things for everyone. Torn down once again by small men who have but 1 tool in their toolkit - . Utterly pathetic

    I'll never understand how groups of thugs in any country - whether supporters here or Trump devotees driving a coup - consistently vote against their own interests, defending men in power who couldn't give 2 s**** about their lives. Ur being used. Wake up

    All other -tackling professions see this work as hazardous & provide default resources for staff. Why nothing 4 often facing >trauma exposure than frontline staff? B/c exploits most & women primarily do this work.

    If we dug into track record of Depp psychologist, how many times do you think we'd find she has assigned BPD etc. to victims? Women are so complicit in (re-)victimisation. I guess pays. Extra lucrative in and systems
