I’m not pregnant and have not had a baby yet but I have learned so much through this account and feel so excited to know there are more options than just hospital birth. I thought the only way to birth was with an epidural. I was never taught any of this. I thought the only position you could give birth in was on your back. I’m 25 years old now and have learned so much because of access to this knowledge and imagery. It is not sexual, it is not explicit, it is the most natural thing in the world and hiding this info places shame on it. Make it accessible. Have it pop up on someone’s feed so one day it’s normal and not taking anyone by surprise.
Carsen supported: Urge Instagram to Protect Accounts Sharing Perinatal Imagery and EducationI care about this issue because this account shows us what doctors in big hospitals won’t tell us about birth and our birthing options. We don’t always need a hospital birth for a safe and effective delivery!
Carolyn supported: Urge Instagram to Protect Accounts Sharing Perinatal Imagery and EducationAmerica was founded on immigration. America exists because of immigration. The system is broken - it shouldn't take 10+ years to get a visa.
Jennifer supported: Stop Mass Deportation: Protect Our Economy, Our Communities, Our FutureAs a retired frequent flyer on several US airlines; I’m shocked and disappointed that I never knew about this inequity I’ve witnessed flight attendants verbally abused on numerous flights by rude customers, primarily when a flight was delayed. Like they could do anything about a weather delay or mechanical problem. On several occasions I told the abusing passenger to knock it off because it surely wasn’t their fault. This was frequently responded to with Why Don’t You Mind your Own Business. To which I replied that the person they were berating was someone’s son or daughter. This immediately made me feel bad for the flight attendant because they very easily could have been one of my kids.
Lastly I’ve had both excellent and not so good flight attendants and always tried to remind myself they they have bad days just like we all do. You never know what’s going on in someone’s personal life that may have triggered their attitude and actions. Of course the same could be said about the offending traveler. But in my opinion there’s no reason to take your problems out on some innocent person
Flight attendants deserve the utmost respect from all travelers. After all if there’s an unexpected emergency they’re trained to handle it and we travelers are not. More than likely if there is an emergency they will be the ones we depend on to get us through it
Back to the issue at hand. It’s surely not right that they’re not paid for the time detailed and it causes me to wonder how the unions could allow that to happen. I’d guess that getting this resolved would be more beneficial for the attendants and pilots than they raises the union fights/strikes for. If it’s not currently done before a contract negotiation starts they should be asked for their input on what they would prefer:a $.25/.50 per hour increase or being paid for all their time worked. Seems to me the this matter should be addressed by the Departments of Transportation and Labor because this is a very Common Sense matter and there’s little doubt what the right solution is
