she did have hyperemesis gravidarum; I have no clue if that correlates to vomiting during labor, but she sure as shit did not have an easy pregnancy.

it’s likely that the cover was shot far in advance.  Maybe before she was pregnant or showing.

I think it is important to call out behaviors that do disservice to other women.

I’m the opposite.  I wouldn’t say I’m afraid of flying, but recently for some reason turbulence can terrify me.  I guess it’s because I’ve built this life I really love and if something happened to me or my person it would seem devastating in a way that I guess it didn’t when I was 20...

I was just thinking this: that this doesn’t just hurt the individual women who are coming forward right now, we all have to open our wounds so that someone somewhere might see us bleed.  Every time.

i mean, all snark aside, salt water pools are awesome (and seem more common than chlorine pools at this point).

This just annoys me b/c praying mantis don’t eat their mates in nature, only under the stress of captivity. 

many white boys dont... alas.

Because truth isn’t truth anymore, they will still call it both, with a straight face.

if it doesn’t work out on your second try, I believe that prescription snorkel masks exist.  Probably super expensive, but better than squinting if it’s in your budget?

formerly a contact lens/glasses wearer here (I got LASIK and never looked back):

Crows are super smart, though, and I’ve heard of a similar gambit which led to the trash collecting animal tearing the trash up into smaller pieces because they get a treat for each individual piece.  So I bet these crows are going to start getting greedy and game the system somehow...

OOOOOOooooh my sister and I did Glamour Shots when I was about 10!  What I recall is some super strange contortions required for their crazy poses, and that they put a shit ton of makeup on me but no mascara.  I’m super blonde, so it was weird with all this eyeliner on my 10 y.o. face but blonde-ass eyelashes...

I remember reading that in an article a couple of years ago and feeling like I’d dodged a bullet. I took the pill for 10 years before I switched to Mirena. The first 5 years I took it at 7am like clockwork, the latter 5... it was “at bedtime”.  So the fact that I never got pregnant during those years seems miraculous.

also she was in Ocean’s 8...

his comment about water is reminding me of Ted Cruz talking about there not being a rubber shortage wrt birth control. (at least I think it was Cruz, anyway).  Enraging to an insane degree.

what is WITH this family and wearing OBVIOUSLY BRAND NEW apparel when they’re trying to look “relatable” and “of the people”. How do they not know how much of a dead giveaway it is???

perhaps it’s because she’s an Aussie, but that is a spider the way that a shark is a fish.  It’s *technically true* but somehow misses the point...

I mean. sure. if it weren’t Jenny frickin McCarthy.  I’ll never not think she’s dumb as shit due to her anti-vax BS.

one million percent, that is the google home.  I’d recognize it anywhere and she is stupid as shit.
