Is it just me or does Flower Mound sound like...a euphemism.

Ha ha I’ve been on the pill for a decade and my doctor is recommending that I go off it (b/c old, decrepit, and bloody blood clots) and I’m even more afraid of having a real Carrie-style period again than of pregnancy, which is saying something. Oh gods, the deluge.

Empiricism...always so...political. And deeply inconvenient.

I’m so sorry. Pet deaths are terrible. You feel like you shouldn’t take them so seriously but it’s hard not to.

Once again I am left with a pressing question: what is so terrible about planning parenthood, anyway?

OMG

Probably the smart thing to do would be to quit Facebook. But then how would I be reminded that I don’t want to move back to my hometown?

I am over 35 and don’t post kid pics on Facebook and therefore (I presume anyway) I receive a LOT of assisted reproduction ads. I’m like uh, HIDE.

Sing it again: health care should NOT be employer-dependent, and your employer shouldn’t have any access to any of your medical informaaaaayyyshun. I live in Europe and I don’t use my complimentary employer check-ups (in part because we have universal care and I can just go to the doctor for a check up when I want to,…

Ugh dude I get the cough-hurks too about once every couple years and I’m in one right now, thanks to spouse-pants over there. It’s starting to moderate but last week I was running to the bathroom to have coughing with tears-streaming fits away from my co-workers a couple times a day. Sinuses are the best argument…

(snork) States’ Rights, amirite.

Woowee that is some...highly idealized casting, no? And I just know that Daniel Craig must like cats, so, really bad fit. Just bad.

I liked that one. But he needs an editor. I don’t think much would be left, tho...woof. this is baaad.

Yeah-it’s all about unspoken expectations. It’s hard to ever point to anything that is pretty explicitly sexist, but you just know there are things you can’t do that your male peers can get away with...

Yeah, coz the costs are TOTALLY the same as they were in your day. Ugh. Garbage. Sry for that.

UGH and it starts in grad school, if not before. In the chemistry department I used to work in for grad school, I collaborated on projects with a lot of women chemists who were all reliable and hard working and put in the time. Not to say there weren’t good men, but a lot of the men would barely show up to the lab and…

Ha ha of course you do it for the LOVE, not for the transactionalism of it. Especially the spreadsheets EXCELLOVE. Man.

Seconded. Also: we need to grow babies in tanks already. It would be a lot easier to equalize the parenting playing field if it wasn’t the woman’s physical responsibility from the start. Maybe that’s super-weird I dunno, but so is pregnancy. I mean.

I know-I mean, animals are just props anyway, roit? Violating their contract here.

Wat. That sounds like a good way to get cunt-punted. Sort of peligroso, you know what I mean.
