Yeah, naked and with “creative” haircuts was pretty much the standard within a week of getting a new barbie. Drove my mom crazy!

Malibu Ken’s head *might* have ended up on a kitchen skewer in front of the barbie dream house. We were odd children despite my mother’s best efforts to make us normal.

That was the ultimate payback between my sisters and I. You fuck with my Barbie’s hairdo? Fine, off with Ken’s head. Those things were impossible to get back on.

Right?! Like, I am unashamed of my love for pearls, but these are ... yikes.

I’ve literally been listening to Bowie since before I was born - my mom used to play Hunky Dory and Aladdin Sane to make me calm down and stop punching her in the ribs while she was pregnant with me. He was always one of her favorites, and Space Oddity was my jam as a kid. I remember being maybe 8,9? And finally…

I hear you that management makes a huge difference - I’ve had managers who are seriously useless when it comes to staffing and patient care, and others who come in on night shift, in scrubs to take patients.

Easy choice!

Ugh, I'm so sorry - I can't even imagine!

You are en fuego this morning, and I love it!

I spent five minutes looking at that picture trying to put my finger on what was different about her, and I can't quite figure it out either!

Theo is awesome!

I should hope if I’m ever in her situation, that I have a friend as awesome as you to do all of that for me!

I’m a midwife and all about crunchy granola births, but that one is a little much even for me. What really gets me is that there isn’t a cultural significance, nor is there any known physiologic advantage to it. Once the cord has stopped pulsating, the placenta has done its job. Literally the only rationale is that…
