• literally getting a chill down my spine of disgust hearing Dr. S---- even start talking about this baby cuz she's just making excuses and staying the course. saying he was having bloody secretions because he's getting “moved around so much” you fucking villain. does it not bother you that a BABY is not able to be MOVED AROUND without bleeding? this shit is literally just fucking villainous and it makes me sick I don't want to participate anymore.

• professionalism = mental illness = folie à tout like this is genuinely horrific

• just had a cry break and need to check in w myself here in the hallway about whether I can go back in. I think I can. yes, I can. so here we go.

• Well would you look

at that. Vindication over

my concern about the

output. the specialists said they’re fucking

concerned and might want to

keep baby here longer. so I

WAS being gaslit yesterday. fuck this

attending bro she sneaky sucks

- it's not worth it it's not worth it it's not worth it. the ‘good’ outcomes. It's not fucking worth it. the whole american experiment… western civ… it's not worth it

I sat next to one of the

twins while 'e was getting

bottle fed by the nurse and

just fully entranced by the

scene. 'e had almost finished

the bottle when we finished

talking about em and had to

move on in rounds. the nurse

asked me if I wanted to

feed em, as if reading my

mind (I’d been thinking of

asking but wasn’t going to). I

said yes wait can I? and

she laughed and was like have

you fed a baby before? I said

no, and she said then no,

and laughed again. she said

“you watch me today then

come back and do it tomorrow.”

but tomorrow is Saturday ._.

the wheel turns.

• WWS mom seems PISSED OFF

today like not really speaking just

like rhythmically POUNDING her

baby’s back, seeming to pat harder

as the doctor said we

probably can’t discharge yet lol

these two are having a passive

aggressive white woman off!! and

they both lose
