Well, MY Breasts Aren't Complaining
I had an ‘a-ha!’ moment recently. Getting dressed in the cold and dark Michigan morning, contemplating my life’s mistakes and thinking about the possible lack of coffee creamer that awaited me… I looked down at my right hand and… noticed something.

Introduction: Feminism, as an ideology, has undeniably played a crucial role in advocating for women's rights and equality. It has challenged societal norms, empowered women, and brought about positive changes in many areas. However, it is essential to acknowledge that like any movement, feminism has its flaws and unintended consequences that warrant scrutiny. In this blog, we will explore the negative impacts of feminism, shedding light on the complexities that often go unaddressed.

Explorer Missions Explorer alludes to different space missions led by NASA, explicitly the Explorer rocket. There are two Explorer shuttle, in particular Explorer 1 and Explorer 2, the two of which were sent off in 1977 with the essential objective of investigating the external planets of our planetary group. Here is some data about the Explorer missions: Explorer 1: Sent off on September 5, 1977, Explorer 1's direction took it past Jupiter and Saturn. On February 14, 1990, it caught the renowned "Light Blue Dab" photo, which shows Earth as a small bit of light from a distance of around 6 billion kilometers. Explorer 1 authoritatively crossed the heliopause (the limit where the sun powered breeze from the Sun changes to interstellar space) on August 25, 2012, turning into the main human-made object to arrive at interstellar space. Explorer 2: Sent off on August 20, 1977, Explorer 2 followed a somewhat unique direction, permitting it to visit Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It stays the main shuttle to have visited these external gas monsters. Explorer 2 formally crossed the heliopause on November 5, 2018, and furthermore proceeds with its excursion into interstellar space. Key Accomplishments of the Explorer Missions: Examined and sent back significant information on Jupiter and its moons, like itemized pictures of the Incomparable Red Spot and its fierce climate. Given close-up sees and definite data about Saturn, its rings, and moons like Titan and Enceladus. Found dynamic volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and uncovered the complexities of its volcanic action. Led flybys of Uranus and Neptune, giving the very first close-up pictures of these far off planets and their moons. Assembled information on the attractive fields, climates, and structure of the external planets, revealing insight into their attributes and arrangement. It's vital to take note of that the Explorer rocket proceed to work and send back logical information, despite the fact that they are currently over forty years into their excursion. They give important data about the external locales of our nearby planet group and will probably keep on doing as such until their frameworks in the end shut down. Rocket Plan: The Explorer space apparatus were intended to endure the cruel states of room and assemble information on their excursion. Every rocket comprises of a transport formed structure containing logical instruments, correspondence gear, and power frameworks. They were controlled by radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), which convert the intensity created by the rot of radioactive material into power. Logical Instruments: Both Explorer 1 and Explorer 2 conveyed a set-up of logical instruments to concentrate on different parts of the planets they experienced. The instruments included cameras, spectrometers, magnetometers, plasma finders, and different sensors. These instruments gave significant information on the actual properties, airs, attractive fields, and creations of the planets and their moons. Excellent Visit through the External Planets: The essential goal of the Explorer missions was to lead a "Stupendous Visit" of the external planets of our planetary group. The shuttle followed painstakingly arranged directions, known as gravity helps, to visit various planets in a solitary mission. Explorer 1's direction took it past Jupiter and Saturn, while Explorer 2's direction permitted it to investigate Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Broadened Mission: After effectively finishing their essential mission targets, both Explorer rocket were reused for expanded missions. They were diverted to proceed with their excursions past the external planets and study the external ranges of the planetary group. This choice was made conceivable because of their vigorous plans, life span, and the accessibility of adequate power from the RTGs. Interstellar Mission: As the Explorer shuttle wandered farther from the Sun, they entered the domain of interstellar space. Crossing the heliopause, they gave researchers important information about the interstellar medium, including estimations of the sun based breeze, attractive fields, and grandiose beams outside the impact of the Sun. Brilliant Record: Both Explorer space apparatus convey an exceptional component known as the "Brilliant Record." These are phonograph records containing sounds and pictures chose to depict the variety of life and culture on The planet. The records remember good tidings for different dialects, music, hints of nature, and pictures portraying life on our planet. The records act as a period case, expected to speak with potential extraterrestrial developments that could experience the rocket in the far off future. The Explorer missions stay a demonstration of human creativity, perseverance, and the journey for information. They have given us a fantastic abundance of data about our own nearby planet group and keep on investigating the unknown domains past.

Once upon a time, there was a big stone in the garden of a family. It was about forty centimeters wide and ten centimeters high. People who go to the garden will kick the big stone carelessly and fall down or scratch. The son asked, "Dad, why don't you dig away that pesky stone?" Dad replied, "You mean the rock? Since your grandfather's time, has been to now, its volume is so big, do not know to dig to when, nothing boring digging stone, as well as walk carefully, but also can train your reaction ability." After a few years, this big stone was left to the next generation, when the son married a wife and became a father. One day the daughter-in-law said angrily, "Dad, the more I look at that big stone in the garden, the more I dislike it. Please ask someone to remove it some day." Dad replied, "Forget it! That big stone is very heavy. If it could have been removed, it would have been removed when I was a child. Why would it stay here now? "Daughter-in-law heart very unhappy, that big stone do not know how many times she fell down.

Nouman YousafPublished 11 months ago in Viva#SingleMomChronicles: Stats
I am a black woman. I have never been married. I have a different father for each of my two children. They are both largely absent, financially and physically. Each of those things alone place me in a certain category of society. Put them all together and I am the epitome of a stereotypical "black mom". Stereotypes are not race or gender specific unfortunately. I am so very tired of the single mom narrative. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Popular opinion suggests that single moms are lazy and just leach off the government. All the blame is always placed on us.Perhaps, had we chosen better men, we wouldn't be single moms. If we can't make ends meet, we need to work more hours or get a higher paying job. Heck, some people have the nerve to say work TWO jobs, instead of depending on the government. I have even heard folks have the audacity to tell a mom that if she couldn't afford children, she shouldn't have had them. Are you freaking kidding me? I cannot speak for anyone but myself, but life happens. It is quite as simple as that. One day I have a good job and life is good, then all of a sudden the whole world is thrust into a pandemic and my mother is in the hospital fighting for her life. She gets better (thank goodness) only for my children to get Covid. Naturally, as their sole caregiver, I got sick too after a while. I lost my job.
Latoya GilesPublished 11 months ago in Viva#SingleMomChronicles: Mom Guilt
I have had "mom guilt" many times over the course of my parenting alone. I just never knew it had an actual name. So what exactly is "mom guilt"? Well, the online dictionary defines it as: "the name given to the feelings of guilt women experience in relation to their children. Mom guilt comes from an unrealistic ideal of a perfect mom.". That is a great way to describe it.
