Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

She should get to see Black Panther. I am so angry about this right now.
I mean, it's a combination of things: the time of the year, the fact that the way the medical establishment ignores and discounts black women's pain is in the news again, and the Dora Milaje featurette that just came out. But I saw the featurette and I was just filled with rage at how unfair it is.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
So much all of this.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Every time I see a trailer/commercial/featurette, I think that.

All I can hope, frankly, is that maybe now that it's happened to someone as famous and talented and brilliant as her, more people will take it seriously.
Seriously though, rage tears. Gonna have to find one of the fundraisers to take kids to see it and donate to it.

Our wings are not tired
The Code Switch podcast just did an episode that in part deals with the fact that just being a black woman in the United States prematurely ages them at the chromosomal level due to the high amounts of continual stress that comes with being black in this country. It's heartbreaking and it made me think once again about what she dealt with all. the. time.

Because books.
It surprises me sometimes, how much I still miss her.

The thing that pisses me off is that she is famous and wealthy, and they STILL discounted her. Her team should have been familiar with her medical history and been watching her for symptoms. It is INEXCUSABLE that she had to GET UP AND WALK OUT OF THE FUCKING DELIVERY ROOM to get a nurse, who then "thought that the pain medicine was making her delirious" If it was this hard for Serena Williams, just think about how hard it is for an ordinary black woman patient. And God forbid if she is uneducated or poor.
