What a lovely website. Welcoming colors, simple navigation, no ad infestation. Has all the early internet charm but without the hyperbole.
Took me a minute to find it, but thanks. However, I still can't seem to change the text size and I feel like it isn't very accessible. I couldn't get the text size buttons to work on the webpage either. At least I could zoom in and scroll everywhere. I am using Vivaldi.
Including the table layout we don't do anymore since the 2000's, because it doesn't scale at all.
Well it is a battle because our stupid ass species evolved huge ass heads without changing the size of the birth canal...
Well, child mortality rate was really high before modern medicine. No wonder many cultures exalt the process of birth.
Maternal mortality wasn't quite a Holocaust until they started having women give birth in hospitals without germ theory so nobody was washing their fucking hands and the doctors were reaching up there to check on the placenta and killing loads of women with puerperal sepsis. 18 percent maternal mortality rate at the time, when 300 years in the past (based on church records of births and deaths) it was closer to 3 percent.
It means that have opinions or ideals that are just that good and worth looking up to.
So basically what "Woke" used to mean before it became a Right Wing buzzword
Didn't Sparta have a similar belief as far as honoring women who died in childbirth equally to men who died in battle?
Similar thing actually happened in early Islaam, except it was for deaths from epidemic instead of childbirth. That one being because a shitton of Mohammed's original faithful had died of plague during the initial campaigns of the faith.
Well was told by admins and the side bar to make a community active you need to post. Also I am very much a wikihead
Thank you for doing so! I've been reading about Mesoamerican history lately and love additional facts.
It's amazing how cultures separated by 10,000+ years can be so incredibly similar in general, yet distinct in the fine details!
Keep up the good work op. We just need more people posting too. You can't control that.
I can only suggest actually looking at the titles you post, then, since most of them get cropped off due to character limit. Seems a bit automated given how frequently I've seen it happen to your posts in particular.
Ok, so I learnt something and checks calendar, yeap, it's definitely Today! Seems like everything is to code around here. Keep up the good work!!
