Anthonywoodville - We Men Are Wretched Things

Yes, exactly. There’s no God, you see. Only sheep.

I try not to judge people’ favorite historical figures but I cannot help but side-eye the fuck out of anyone who claims they really like Henry VIII… 

Even so, people like Jacquetta and Elizabeth Woodville had several children in quick sucession no problem. I think Catherine’s problem might have been health related because she did gave birth more than once, but her children died really young and I heard it said it could’ve been because something was wrong with her. I don’t remember the particular of that argument, though, sorry.

And I think Anne’s problems might have been more stress related? She was in a bit of a precarious position there and stress does some serious shit to you. Coupled with the living conditions and general health nobles had those days, it isn’t surprising she couldn’t bring her babies to term.

sassenach-on-the-rocks replied to your post: I don’t think Anne Boleyn had difficulties getting…

I always figured that was the case for both Catherine and Anne. Back to back pregnancies isnt healthy for anyone. I had a friend tell me that she was advised by her doctor that for some women it can take up to a year for a womans body to fully heal depending up how the pregnancy went.

Yep! back to back pregnancies is really hard on the body. I probably would place my bets on this being the cause of Catherine and Anne’s troubles. Then the last three wives the cause would probably be Henry inability to have sex. 

as a hairdresser who sees very diverse hair on people of all races, it's kind of ignorant to put people in a box by saying that only poc have a certain kind of hair. i've had white women with hair curlier than the poc in my chair before. also "poc" is a very broad term in the grand scheme of things so if you mean black then just say black because i've had every race in my chair and all their hair is not the same. so just saying if you're gonna make a comment about something make sure you're fair

If you bother to read what I say, you’ll see me agree with one of the people that replied to me post when they said white people can have all types of hair. Which is someyhing I would know, coming from a very mixed country.

And if you knew anything about me, you would know I’m mixed race. My mother is black, my father is so white he’s ginger. A have a full brother and a half brother and sister. I have black cousins, white cousins and mixed cousins. I am perfectly aware that people have a wide array of hair types. My hair is pretty much straight and I even have a tiny speck of freckles, but they’re hard to see. My brother’s hair, who is mixed as well, is perfectly curled. His hair curls in little tubes and when he has a full beard it sparkles in the light, because he has natural blond hairs intersected. But his skin tone is darker than mine. I have a cousin, her name is Laura, she’s also mixed and her hair is pretty bushy. And we are not black, per se. But we are poc and we all have different hair and that’s why I say poc instead of black. I’m not going to erase myself and my family just because you believe you know everything because you’re a hairdresser that had black people sitting in your chair. I am perfectly aware all people within an ethnicity can have traits. I lived that reality in my house for 20 years growing up with my brother. So maybe instead of making shitty comments about how biased I am because I want one half of my family to be as represented in the media as the white half is, you can maybe realize you don’t know anything about me and can’t possibly know that when I speak about what I want for me and my family I have two different set of people to care for, people that experience things differently, and I do my best to think of both of them.

tl:dr Yes, I know white people can have different hair types, my dad’s white, I have white friends, I have met white people before. And black people are not the only one who aren’t white and that’s white I say poc instead. See former Grey’s Anatomy star Sanda Oh and her asian self with her curly hair.

Tips for baking with arthritis and other hand-related chronic pain

With some changes to techniques, a careful selection of kitchen tools, and tips from fellow bakers, the joy of baking can live on.

I luckily haven't had to deal with much chronic pain or hand pain yet, especially with regards to baking (crochet is another story). That said, these look like some pretty solid tips! There's also some in the comments section.
