Apparently they're on their way to Texas tomorrow! Those dogs/people who take care of those dogs are amazing.

there will never be enough dogs in the world. Never.

When I take the subway I usually have an adventure. You guys must be doing it wrong.

I hope this is your actual dog. Because that dog seems awesome.

How in the holy hell did you track that down? Did you just happen to have "dog with feathers in fur" in your all-purpose .GIF folder, or do you have access to one of those massive, expensive stock photo archives?

This video needs to come with a warning. That poor kid.

It's real. Look up "Where is Thumbkin?" He's doing the "Where is Tall Man?" verse.

I've been following this all day, and I feel like one of my reactions is weird. I'm all of a sudden super motivated to take up running again and train to run a marathon in a year. I don't think I can word that sentence differently to make it sound like a more appropriate reaction. I've been a very casual runner in the…

They were near the explosions, but no injuries among them have been reported so far.

TRIGGER WARNING: Graphic, gorey imagery

Click on the links and videos and photos if you must, but be warned that they are graphic.


I don't know why there are not already trigger warnings on this articles.

Can anyone confirm if the Newtown families were near the blasts as reported on Deadspin? If so I want to crawl into bed and sleep forever.

Righty-o.

I didn't save mine, but I did have the midwife show it to me closely. It was HUGE and my midwife (who has worked in the developing world) told me all about how she'd seen some tiny placentas because the mothers weren't able to get proper nutrition. She also showed me my super strong bag of waters that didn't break.

This is why you need a $1600 Bugaboo Donkey so that you can put the placenta in the carrying compartment next to it.

I saved my placenta for a day because I really, really wanted to get my hands on it—it's not every day that an organ detaches and falls out for you to play with—but of course I had better things to do on the day my daughter was born. It was oodles of fun to poke and prod at it, and I was interested to learn that it…

Obviously you just put the placenta in the basket underneath the stroller. Why do you think people are so concerned with the storage capacity under there? :)

OMG, the cats. I'm concerned enough about how my fur babies will deal with any future spawn (dear kitty babies, please do not eat/scratch/smother them). I can't imagine trying to keep them away from an actual organ for 10 days. ::shudder::

Hahahahaha! "TWINS! Ooooohh.. Oh no.."

Leaving a raw placenta out in the open could be an issue if you have animals. I can just imagine one of my cats gnawing on it or (even better) trying to pick it up and drag it off somewhere.
