i mean... he may be 70 but he’s still built, his biceps are ridiculous.

I had a couple martinis and (probably) got stoned once or twice the week before I found out I was pregnant.  So if I had miscarried for normal reasons, I guess I would have been prosecuted and jailed for second degree murder?  JFC

One million billion percent. If your religion makes you feel like abortion is wrong (which btw the Bible doesn’t say anyway) then don’t fucking get one.

That is excellent advice.  I have no clue what the hell was going on with this specialist but I was a scared as shit 23 year old, afraid I’d have to have an eye removed b/c of cancer, and I’d been left to freeze my ass off with my thumb up my butt for 2 hours.  Not okay.  Ultimately being a doctor is being in a…

how much was she drinking/smoking that she’d need to cut back ahead of getting pregnant?

I got like, one hangover the entire decade of my 20s.  I’m pregnant now so I’m hangover-free (one benefit I suppose) but the first few years of my 30s have been a hangover minefield.  I don’t understand.  It fucking sucks.  Maybe even worse than the increasing back and joint pain...

Different stakes, but this immediately reminded me of a time I went to a specialist retinologist opthalmologist because my regular optometrist thought i might have a tumor on my retina (yay!).  They dilated my eyes and left me in the exam room for close to two hours.  For the eye dilation uninitiated, you can’t read…

When I was 6 weeks pregnant my only symptom was tender breasts.  If I hadn’t have been trying to get pregnant, there is basically no reason why I would have thought a thing of it.  My cycle ranges from 18 to 54 days ffs.

I’m 24 weeks prego right now and recently learned that I’ve already gained 30 lbs.  My self esteem is pretty much at an all time low.  If a pair of heels makes her feel more like herself... go for it.

Christians have been using the bible to justify their terrible ideas since time immemorial.  Same with, well, pretty much all religions, come to think of it.

eh I mean, i’m fine with it.  He lives in Kansas, imma let him live.

Anything for kitties who eat wet food? One of my cats scarfs and barfs nearly on the daily and I just can’t figure out how to slow her down with the wet food.

Hmmm. Good to know.  I have one kitty who is a prodigious scarf and barfer.  I’ve never found a good solution since my girls are on an exclusive wet food diet and all these appear to be geared toward if not specifically designed for dry food.

One of my cousins’ husbands is on the shorter side and he has an impressive collection of cowboy boots.  An easy way for dudes to wear heels, should they wish to.  

My husband was similar. When we met (19 yo) he was 6'2" and about 120 lbs. Skinnnnny motherfucker. He’s about 170 now (33 yo), still obviously quite slim (the bastard) but less difficult to buy clothes for. There’s hope!

Maybe Church of Christ Scientist? B/c they don’t really go in for medical care in general? But I can’t say that with confidence.

DAMMNNNNN. I had no idea there were caffeine-truthers out there.

Mayor Pete, I’m assuming? He has the classic “charisma” that makes you really want to believe everything he says.  But I find it >weird< that he dodges all policy-related questions.  What I LOVE about Liz and Kamala is that they are ready to jump into policy questions while still emphasizing philosophy and being clear…

it’s as if these types of crimes are the only situations in which anyone cares about over-incarceration.  However (!) this is not an area where people are being put away in droves so it’s... more harmful?

I think the 95% vaccinated has the caveat that the 5% unvaccinated are evenly distributed.  If those 5% are all clustered in one place, that’s where things get dicey.
