Another totally natural, life-giving process that women are asked to hide. Why does breastfeeding make people so uncomfortable?

Breastfeeding in public is now legal in all 50 states, but that wasn’t the case until March 2018, as Utah became the final state to allow it. And even with it being legal across the country, many women still don’t feel like that’s entirely the case, stating they feel embarrassed, stigmatized, or uncomfortable—and understandably so when things like 👆this happen.

Here’s the thing: new mothers are on a pumping schedule. New babies are on an eating schedule. Spontaneous #breastfeeding happens. It’s time to support new mothers and do away with this stigma!

The bill passed its final reading with the approval of 400 of the 415 members of the House of Representatives. 👏”For this law, we would like to return rights to the (LGBTQ+ group). We are not giving them rights. These are the fundamental rights that this group of people … has lost,” shared Danuphorn Punnakanta, a spokesperson of the governing Pheu Thai party and president of a committee overseeing the #marriageequality bill.

The bill will go to the Senate, which rarely rejects legislation that passed in the lower house, and then to the king for royal endorsement. This would make Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia to pass such a law and the third in Asia, after Taiwan and Nepal. 🎉

Texas Hold ’Em is all over TikTok, music streaming apps, and now… the weather report. #Beyoncé is the first Black woman with a number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart, stating, “My hope is that years from now, the mention of an artist’s race, as it relates to releasing genres of music, will be irrelevant…this ain’t a Country album. This is a ’Beyoncé album.”

And ICYMI, the rest of her country album, “Cowboy Carter” will be released this Friday, March 29!

“I’m very aware that if I was Oliver Colman, I’d be earning… a lot more than I am,” shared Olivia Colman, Academy Award winning best actresss.

The discussion of pay disparity among male and female Hollywood stars continues, following closely behind the recently-published list of highest paid actors, which included only two women. Recent research also showed that only 30 of the 100 top-grossing movies of 2023 featured women or girls in lead roles, down from 44 in 2022, and the lowest for almost a decade. Women have always been big box-office draws, so why aren’t their contracts reflecting that?
