I was literally shocked the first time I found out that in the USA, the top cause of maternal death during pregnancy is homicide. I thought expectant mothers were more likely to die of, like, pre-eclampsia or ectopic pregnancies or heart attacks or something going wrong during childbirth.
Nope. It’s murder. like WTAF????
“Women in this country are more likely to be murdered while pregnant or shortly after giving birth than to die from the three leading obstetric causes of maternal death—including pregnancy-related high blood pressure, bleeding, or sepsis.
“Most murders of pregnant people are linked to intimate partner violence and gun violence, both of which are more common in the United States than in other high-income countries.”

Apparently it’s more “useful” (edit: for the general population) to learn how to avoid killing your pregnant partner than it is to learn how to recognize the signs that your pregnant partner is having a heart attack. I still struggle to wrap my head around this.

I chilled in Sheetz last week until 1 am. The inside tables were deserted and they serve food and drinks 24 hours a day. Wifi isn’t super fast but it’s there.
Chioccas is also open late with wifi but I don’t think it has coffee. Low key vibe though.

lol what? black voters freaking love her. McClellan is amazing at speaking to different groups of people. If you think she’s only good at talking to white progressives then you haven’t listened to black women loving on her time running the Richmond alumni association of delta sigma theta sorority.
She rolls up to the Capitol wearing red on Delta Day just like Louise Lucas does.

The map of old senate district 9. Bear in mind that some precincts were redistricted too so go by the map, not by the list of precinct names.
