How often do you need to drive that far though? We have an EV and a hybrid and neither of us drives more than 30 miles a day during the week.

Best line from The Good Place last season was re frozen yogurt I think, about it being uniquely human to take something good and make it a little big worse so that you can have more of it.

Ugh that is terrible alphabetizing

It hasn’t!

Yeah, yesterday I read Farrow’s article and thought “welp now the suicide countdown begins”

Nexplanon? It’s the thing that goes in your arm.

I’ve seen a lot of parenting articles talking about how going from one to two children is harder than zero to one. It doesn’t seem intuitive and it’s definitely not scientific.

I understand. I struggle with the idea of bodily autonomy as well as the idea of caring about a fetus more than an adult person. But as someone with a very small child, I’ve been inundated over the last couple years with mommy forums and birth plans and anti-vaxxers, etc. And while doctors are just people with jobs,…

I also have some permanent numbness! And it’s so weird! But I’m also really happy to have not had tearing or anything else that can’t accompany a vaginal birth.

I had a 40 hour labor after being induced due to sudden preeclampsia. The doctors were essentially forcing my body to give birth when it wasn’t ready (I was 39 and a half weeks but I just didn’t want to I guess). My fetus was totes happy and healthy and comfortable the whole time, but was potentially gonna kill me.…

Okay, look, I get that women are often treated dismissively in health care.

Shit :( I’m sorry

BOOOOOO

I like Paul, but I don’t think this is an entirely unrealistic thing to happen after Lindsay was such a monster. If he continues to be a character on the show, I hope it’s a phase while he tries to recover his life. But I’d also be okay if this was the last time we ever saw him again because that ending was hilarious.

I wish they wouldn’t have changed the opening this year, because it is absolutely not THAT show anymore. It would have been more appropriate last season maybe.

Have ONE child. Having multiple children is a significant stressor.

Be cute with your choice of font.

Apologies on behalf of the kids people. It seems like the center of my universe because I don’t have psychological, emotional, physical, or financial energy for anything else. At this point yeah I’d rather make small talk with other people who have kids because it’s EASY and anything I’d have to say would be so boring…

There are very few children who are true orphans with absolutely no family who need to be adopted. Adoption is expensive and traumatizing. Adoptions are open now. It is not in any way equivalent nor should it be viewed as the consolation prize for infertility.

I have a 17 month old and I will loudly and at length talk about my shitty pregnancy, fucked up 40 hour labor traumatizing birth, and 15 months of breastfeeding to anyone who makes the mistake of asking me anything about my kid. People do not talk about any of this shit nearly enough so I may as well do it.
