I never could stand this asshole.  He’s 3 parts televangelist, two parts new age clusterfuck, and one part vermouth.  Shaken, not stirred.

There was something about this guy that always creeped me out. I can’t imagine finding him motivational in any way. My first instinct every time I’ve seen him over the years on television was to change the channel immediately.

Shocked. I’m completely shocked.

Neigh.

There’s a zero percent chance this is not a sex thing.

If it wasn’t before it definitely is now.

#humanhorse is a hashtag I am not going to click at work. 

A quick search shows that there’s plenty of people who like to run and jump like horses, the most famous of which is Anna Salander

Is this a sex thing? This seems like a sex thing. 

I’m not sure how this whole arguing thing works where you’re from, but this would have been a golden opportunity to explain why doctors actually advise that.

How dare you try to tell men what to do. They’re men. They’re precious and perfect and only god can shame them. /s

I’m pregnant, as is a coworker, and she has made multiple little comments about the fact that I am still drinking coffee (a cup a day, woo!). She was even saying that she had read an article about chocolate being an antioxidant (duh) so she feels less guilty eating it while pregnant (boo, guilt) but she makes sure not…

Really? I don’t think anyone’s disputing that a zygote, say, is alive, I think it’s more a question of when we start considering someone a human being.

I dropped acid before I knew I was pregnant. My son turned out just fine. We laugh about it now :)

No! You should be beating yourself up forever over the damage you could have done!

I mean, I think in order to be fair, the CDC should also recommend that men of all ages abstain from having sex with women who have been drinking, might be drinking, or may have consumed alcohol at some point in the past.

During the middle ages, you’d have died taking this advice, as beer was consumed as a safer alternative to contaminated water. They’re also pathologizing unplanned pregnancy, as if that’s not how many or most of us came into the world. Overall, condescending, impractical, tone-deaf BS advice.

The way our pediatrician described it:

Or, you could do what I did, which was go to the doc for the official blood test, because I wanted to be pregnant but it would’ve been too early for the pee stick to tell. Went to Vegas with my husband the weekend before he was deploying to Afghanistan for six months, and either wanted to know and be happy, or drink…

Pretty sure my mom drank....and she definitely smoked....when she was pregnant with me. Ahh, the 70's. The CDC must be wondering how the human race didn’t die out completely during that time.
