Agreed - I’d love to “high, medium, low” priority everyone, so they start medium and you can move them up or down in importance to change your feed.

Thank you for solving this mystery! I counted the kids three times.

SAME!!! My colleagues got so sick of my talking about my IUD when I first got it. I honestly should get badges or tshirts made. “Ask me about my IUD”. I love it so much. I call it the “no vacancy” sign for my womb.

This was definitely my take. If my in laws/extended family were under this kind of scrutiny we would probably be described as “beefing” but really we just don’t click so we avoid each other when possible and get along fine (thanks, alcohol!) when we have to hang out at family events.

I’m here with you - I’ve always been luck to be a pretty high-energy person but the last month or so it’s like I’m travelling through thick mud to get anything done. I just started SSRIs on recommendation from my GP, and as someone else mentioned a blood test showed that I’ve got low iron, so if it’s an option for you…

I just started taking SSRIs for anxiety about a month ago and it didn’t even occur to me that the season is probably exacerbating it, so thanks for this very timely article! So many of these symptoms are spot on for me. I’m also low iron so I guess I’ll add Vitamin D to my regimen and maybe look at getting a sun lamp…

I refuse to believe that Justin Timberlake has interesting enough sex to need a safe word.

Yup! She’s young enough that if I met someone her age I’d hesitate to date them.

And he is a physicist.

My 66 year old father’s wife turned 25 this year. When he told me he was marrying her a year ago he claimed “age is just a number”. I was like... yeah, so is my rent, the distance I live from my sister, and how many times men have told me to smile. What part of life made you think numbers are insignificant?

the country is chugging

One thing I read online when a friend had a miscarriage is that sometimes people feel like they’re meant to just move on and forget it happened. I got my friend a beautiful Christmas ornament (it happened in December) and said (approximately, through tears...) “I know one day you will have the family you want, but…

I did a philosophy degree and was about to get mad about this and then was like... oh... no... they’re right. 

I have a clock that fell off the wall and now it doesn’t tell time and I like to claim it’s a piece of art examining the nature of time.

oh oops i am gay now

I didn’t know who Norm MacDonald was and got confused with Norm Kelly, a Toronto politician who is sometimes funny on Twitter, and was very confused about his Netflix special and shitty opinions. In hindsight it should have been the other Norm that got the special.

I’d be interested in seeing these numbers broken down by time on screen. It’s great that speaking roles for Black and Asian actors are in line with population, but how often are they getting 1-2 lines, while the white leads never shut up?

I moved from NZ to Canada almost 7 years ago and I still get confused every time someone says anything about “eating kiwi”.... they’re endangered you can’t eat them oh you meant the fruit well why didn’t you say so

My 65 year old father is married to a 25 year old. Before this he always dated relatively age appropriate (e.g. he was 60 dating a 45 year old) but honestly I think he found women his age too opinionated and demanding. He doesn’t want a partnership, he wants someone who listens to him, defers to him, looks up…
