Republicans Want New Term for “Pro-Life” After Losing So Many Elections
Strategists encouraged Republican lawmakers to be as specific as possible when they discuss their stances on abortion.
Senator Todd Young came up with the brilliant phrase “#pro-#baby#policies.”
Senator Josh Hawley summed up what he thought the problem was: “Most voters think [‘pro-life’] means you’re for no exceptions in favor of abortion ever, ever, and ‘pro-choice’ now can mean any number of things,” he told NBC.
Actually, voters understand what GOP's "pro-life " position is only too well!
Un petit fil d'ethnologie/anthropologie ce matin pour les plus curieux d'entre vous.
Je pense souvent à ce livre d'Harry Walker, Under a Watchful Eye. Self, Power, and Intimacy in Amazonia, University of California Press, 2012.
Et j'ai compris ce matin pourquoi ce livre me fascine : je crois que j'aurais aimé être un bébé Uranina. Dans mon hamac (ou "avec" mon hamac).
Qu'on me laisse le temps de devenir un être humain (et là aussi, j'aurais aimé être un être humain Uranina)
Faudrait envoyer ce livre à Bernard Lahire (spécialiste universel autoproclamé du maternage depuis son dernier ouvrage) Mais évidemment, il n'en aura rien à carrer, donc je vais m'abstenir et plutôt vous inviter à le lire !
J'avais traduit naguère quelques extraits ici pour ceux qui sont curieux :
"“Veux-tu voyager dans ton hamac ?” La petite-fille de Rosa, qui avait récemment commencé à se tenir debout toute seule, était encore trop jeune pour parler. Pourtant, à ma grande surprise, elle semblait parfaitement comprendre la question. Elle a chanté “Brrrrrr !” en imitant les sons vibrants et distinctifs de la berceuse lorsqu’elle est produite sous forme de trille bilabiale. La jeune fille a été rapidement hissée dans son hamac par sa mère, qui s’apprêtait à partir pour le jardin, et a reçu l’ordre de s’endormir et d’aller “errer” (tijiaco). Après l’avoir bordée, la longue corde a été remise à Rosa qui, à peine interrompue dans sa tâche de fabrication d’un sac en ficelle, a commencé à balancer le hamac d’un côté à l’autre, en chantant doucement pendant qu’elle travaillait."
Prehistoric #baby bottles: marvellous feeding vessels in the shape of #animals from Vösendorf and Oberleis, Austria, dating 1200-800 BC.
Baby bottles in the shape of animals are common in late Bronze and early Iron Age Europe.
Of course, the #cops tried to justify their actions by claiming the #victims "fit the description" of the people they were looking for, but the victims were wearing completely different outfits, and were simply sitting at their table with #baby. We all know that when cops claim someone fits the description, what they mean is that they are #black. And in this case, being black was all the justification the police needed to #assault the couple AND THE BABY.
My partner spotted a tiny #jackrabbit kit (which is actually a #hare...) peeking out of a shrub in our back yard and called me to come see. To our delight, s/he came right out and sniffed around, looking to see if it was #safe to jump down over a 20cm edge (nope! too big!). And then s/he turned around and proceeded to #binky all around the shrub.
Gave me a well-needed #smile today. Unfortunately, it was over too fast to catch on camera.
Hmm, can't let the dog out, the #baby#quail are hanging out in the #garden. He's not supposed to chase them, but he caught one the other day. I think they smell like his favorite food, #chicken.
Has anyone experience with transporting a newborn by bicycle? I researched a ton and am truly surprised how nontrivial it is. My main question is: at what age did you start transporting them by bike and with what equipment? My kid is just a month old now but I really would rather not want to rely on public transport until she is 6 months.
Meet Zosia (Sophie), a new member of our #family! It was a bit of a struggle to get her here, but it’s all good now. She’s 54cm, 3,2kg, a healthy girl! Mom feels fine, the boys can’t wait to meet their new sister! She’s 1hour old on the picture!🥰 #NewBorn#Baby
