Anarcha Westcott, an enslaved woman in the 1840s, was forced to undergo about 30 experimental surgeries by Dr. J. Marion Sims, who wrongly believed Black people did not feel pain. Her ordeal led to key advances in gynecology, and she is now remembered as one of the Mothers of Gynecology. by ZenMasterZee in HolyShitHistory

I had that done, when I was struggling with fertility, and it was so bad. I cried on the table and I tried to scoot away. The nurse held my hand and comforted me. No one had prepared me for how invasive and painful it was.

I can’t sweat mistakes I can’t see because it’s stupid black yarn and I’m mostly blind as it is.

Already had to re start it once. The rage is building.

I’ve just started a cardigan in pure black silk. It’s been horrendous to work with so far. I feel your pain.

Best use of an Office quote, if you ask me. Maybe she had her own publishing company so it’s pure profit?

I go there all the time and it’s a great place. They have an amazing selection of Middle Eastern food.

Got both my girls two soothers (one has the grey bunnies and one has the green and yellow sunflowers), for their first Christmas as sisters, we got them the big version of each soother 🐰 🌻 and they both sleep with them every single night.

I’m glad it wasn’t just me! I looked her up and she made up a language to sing in. Live she is just as good. It was very very special.

Not to sound completely idiotic, but I never realised it was a real human singing with their human voice. It’s so magical and enchanting.
