Friendly reminder; bold red lips require bold white teeth. 

One of my bosses who knows no boundaries seriously offered to make me placenta stew with my placenta after I gave birth and told me it had a lot of healing qualities. As a scientist that is most likely a load of crap. Agree with other posters- for all the granola folks* who say “but the animals do it so it’s natural!”…

Love how you added the hate crime bit in regards to Marky Mark.  Never forget!

Yeah. Good luck with that. I find it hard to believe that anyone gambling on a business decision thinks that investing in a Lohan endorsement is a smart move unless said business is a front for money laundering.

I think that it’s very heartening to know that the Obamas went to marriage counselling, considering how genuinely happy they seem to be.

Brent Kavanaugh was shouting and crying ten minutes into his hearing. RBG is 83 years old, broke three ribs and is working and joking from her hospital bed.

I’m so glad she’s talking about her miscarriage and infertility. I felt like such a failure as a woman because it was difficult for me to conceive, and so alone on this journey. Then I met so many other women who also suffered from PCOS and I found so much hope. Knowing a strong and accomplished woman like her also…

Just when you think you can’t love this incredible woman any more.

I’m due in April, and I want nothing to do with my placenta or anything that comes out of my body during that time that is not my baby girl.

FYI you have to drink the placenta smoothie quickly before it clots. I know this because, um, well...we all do dumb things when we’re young ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

You’re already a fantastic mother!!!

Wise woman.  The placenta is there as a filter to keep nasty stuff away from the fetus.  I’m sure you can make do with something healthier and tastier.

Baby 411 is the best book you could buy.  Written by a pediatrician.  Not really something to read but more a reference guide whenever a question pops up.  Saved our sanity w/ my daughtet.

It’s the level of science denial that greatly disturbs me. Being educated about pregnancy and not allowing doctors to short-circuit a natural birth in the interest of preserving their golf schedule is all good. Walking away from even the most rudimentary assistance is pure insanity. Even a midwife with only the most…

To be fair, they may be total assholes because they’re infirm. But anyway, there once was an old guy who belonged to my church who learned how to paint at the age of 70. He painted all the time and it was all very good. Very rarely did he have a complaint about life even after his wife died and with his kids living…

Just like the anti-vax nutjobs, this is even more infuriating because the victims are the most innocent and without choice. Fuck every single one of these Free Birth idiots. And fuck this whole “natural” movement that’s taking us backwards. Yeah, women used to sometimes give birth alone. But a fucking lot of them…

Some births are deadly, no matter HOW much “primal instinct” you have. I watched a live-stream of a shelter/feral cat attempting to give birth, and after the second hour of struggling and pushing, the person running the show said, “nope, something’s wrong, taking her to the vet.” Turns out that the first of her 4…

this radical work of healing the deepest wounds on this earth

I wish that my three children didn’t require surgical intervention to enter the world. The havoc those C sections have wreaked on my back and abs can’t be overstated.

WTF is the point of living in modern times if a person doesn’t avail herself of some of its luxuries, like a freaking pre-natal appointment to a midwife or something? Yet she will chatter on FB about the “primal instinct” that takes over. Guess what? Birthing can be pretty deadly, just look at history. But no, the…
