This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Graph of maternal mortality rate against year for the UK. Rate bounces until and down around 500 deaths per 100,000 births until about 1940, when it falls sharply. It’s been very low (~1–3 per 100,000) ever since.

Nice! So if you wear a pedometer and know exactly how fast you're walking there, then... But I see that joke has already been made.

Every time I see this I laugh again. The current image is from Kilkenny Cat Art, which sells T-shirts with this design. (I am not affiliated with them in any way.)

I now have the perfect description of that novel I am really going to finish one of these days. The concept of a plan!

Apparently, the whole purpose of the postmenopausal woman is to vote against people like J D Vance.

Honestly, the picture I get of JD Vance at an earlier point in life is that he was friends with trans/nonbinary people and was much more open and hated Trump, and then realized he’d have to sell his soul for power, so he willingly shrunk into a sad, weird corncob of a man.
