When I became a mother, I lost my body – and realized it never belonged to me
The lack of autonomy I felt as a mother reiterated everything society taught me to believe about myself since I was a girl
When my daughter learned to walk, she began following me around our apartment – into the bathroom while I showered, studying my naked body; into the bedroom when I dressed, regarding my baggy underwear with curiosity.

📢#OutNow in #OA: '#Ethics of Socially Disruptive #Technologies: An Introduction', edited by Ibo van de Poel, Lily Eva Frank, Julia Hermann, Jeroen Hopster, Dominic Lenzi, Sven Nyholm, Behnam Taebi & Elena Ziliotti.
Technologies shape who we are, how we organize our societies and how we relate to #nature. For example, #socialmedia challenges #democracy; #artificialintelligence raises the question of what is unique to humans; and the possibility of creating #artificialwombs may affect notions of #motherhood and #birth. Some have suggested that we address #globalwarming by engineering the #climate, but how does this impact our responsibility to future generations and our relation to nature?
This book shows how technologies can be socially and conceptually disruptive and investigates how to come to terms with this disruptive potential.

Dr Amy Kavanagh was one of the first blind people I found online when I became blind and I learnt a lot from her. it’s been great to see her journey to becoming a mum and here she is raising awareness in Stylist magazine so brilliantly as always! | “I still encounter surprise and shock that I’m #blind and a parent. I recently had a waitress ask with genuine confusion “is that your baby?” when I was in the middle of breastfeeding. I try to ignore these comments but find I do feel the weight of them on me, especially on those hard, exhausting days.”

This morning one of my hens followed me around, pecking at the varicose vein on my calf. #Motherhood just keeps on giving. #chickens
A vision that I've always really liked; pretty, but in a cute and ever-so-slightly plump way, holding her little child on her lap — so enthusiastic, so sweet, so tender. Albert Edeldelt's "Queen Bianca".

My eight year old just picked up a medicine bottle from beside my bed, held it over my head, and started singing, 'It's raining meds, Hallelujah! It's raining meds, Amen!'
Oh, child of a chronically depressed mother, how I love you so ❤️ 🤣

When school starts back up, moms get less #sleep and have less time to exercise. Dads aren't affected as much.
It's exacerbating.
"Prior research has shown there is a gender gap in mental health, with women faring worse than men on measures such as anxiety and depression. Women are also four times as likely as men to be diagnosed with seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression that typically occurs in fall and winter."

#Films such as #TheExorcist and #RosemarysBaby reflect #ColdWar #paranoia and the #feminist discourse of the era – women subjected to #motherhood, marriage and #misery

@Heidentweet pretty shure that stripping #lesbian #mothers of their legal #motherhood by said #Christofacists is only done to legally #abduct said #children and #fprcibly #adopt them to #Regime-Loyal couples - like the #GDR did under #Honecker - since the children are "legally #orphants"...

Nothing I had learned about #motherhood could hav prepared me for the unceasing noise pollution of a 6 year old girl.
