I just watched a video that accompanied a Lisa Ling article on childbirth and the problems in our system related to the processes and supporting women, and they discussed this very point, where it’s often a $5-$10k difference, just at delivery alone! (If you click on the video and go to the Midwives section, the data…

It does seem logical and that’s where the administrators in the US went too, but it turns out that they can’t tie it like that. The actual NYT article, which won’t let me quote it, said that accounting for the obesity, age, and race differences are only part of the story because we’re high across the board, when…

For the images I watched, they were all at the same table. I’m thinking he’s a definite creature of habit, if not a little OCD, since his seat at the table was the same too!

I swear to god, I am having an aneurysm every time I watch these videos. So much cognitive dissonance, and when they (rarely,) get showed for their inconsistency and ignorance, they just get defensive rather than self reflect.

Gifs always enhance. Keep scrolling and don’t expand the section. Also, tell people to stop peeing in your cheerios, it’s making you unnecessarily grumpy.

It’s the smoking. It help Hollywood keep the weight down, but man, does it age the skin. (My sister is only 17 months older than me, but people think there’s at least 15 years between us, because of her 2 pack a day habit.)

Goodness, we can hope, but the gerrymandering and vote suppression is STRONG in that state.

Sheen is the antithesis of a “family man,” though.

Wow, this is my one chance to get ahead of the new hip lingo curve!  

My grandmother can leave me wondering sometimes if I was burned, or if my sister was straight up insulted. “Why don’t you wear the other dress? It helped your sister look thin.” It’s like she’s got to get in a twofer.

I totally love Michelle Obama. Her trash talking bites so hard, it breaks the skin! We know this woman can throw shade, so if there is a god out there somewhere, can we get Kara an interview with her so Michelle can burn up shade court?

Nope, sorry to disappoint. They’re fully vaccinated and follow standard medical guidance in all cases. She’s just an animal lover that happens to be light on working knowledge of how biology and natural sciences work. She is a wonderful human being and I love her to death... but some things aren’t worth the energy…

She was a statistics major at Columbia, she skipped right over biology, dude. I don’t live there, so I just roll with it.

Some things are not worth the effort to get into with people. I just go with “yes, some studies say that exposure to dander and dirt can help activate your immune response.”

Yeah, this is what happens when you live in places with no natural predators to the first line predators anymore. Be happy those were the only details I shared. Oh, she had a koi pond, but the raccoons kept going fishing and ate all the koi too. Those things were determined, because it was over 3' deep in some…

Bwahahahaa. Meet my buddy, Mr.DuckSauce. He’s a private guy, so chat him up if you want to know anything about him! ;)

Naw, except the youngest one that has peanut allergies and has pretty much had immune system reactions since he was born, they’re all healthy as horses. (His issues predate the chickens by 2 years, so they’re unrelated.) I’m just convinced it’s going to become a petting zoo.

It’s totally a thing. I got my BFF a chicken coop for her birthday/Christmas (the days had to share, the damn thing was $360!!) She got 4 chicks in the spring and kept them inside under heating lamps in the home office, and the 3 kids have been hugging, cuddling, and kissing them since, albeit under great protest.…

Did she have a nose job? There’s some subtle differences between this and her other pics!
