I just used this and it was awesome. Just in case you were wondering.

Plus it just fucking sucks to be a mother these days. Things are a lot more egalitarian than they used to be, but society still expects the uterus-having to take on more of the child caring tasks, and the emotional labor especially tends to still fall disproportionately on women. Our careers suffer, our bodies suffer if we bore (and possibly nursed) the baby/ies, our mental health suffers from the unrelenting societal pressure and neglect, plus all of the other shit that every other parent deals with as well. The women and mothers I know are fed up and so, so tired. (I'm not bitter... not at all... :D)

I love my children to pieces, but if I had seen an older sister go through this I might have opted out of having kids entirely. Two of my sisters have.

It's not even smudge free stainless? LMAO

Same, and I still say it to little kids because it's silly and confuses them for a second. "Hay is for horses. Aren't you glad you're a dog?"

Seriously, that's a 20-25 minute walk. Perfect, natural exercise opportunity completely wasted!

Okay, but do you know how angry the average Facebooker is about the price of eggs? It's a thing that certain people are quite upset about. Of all the inflationary hits, for some reason eggs have really hit theses folks' funny bones.

They've already been guaranteed spots at Microsoft, by Microsoft. There's no need for them to pull some 4D chess move.

This reminds me of a study I read once that found that more intelligent people are better able to talk themselves into believing whatever they want to believe. I wish I could find it again. It was really interesting!

It can be difficult for some neurodivergent folks to identify sarcasm or satire, especially written. A simple /s goes a long way.

Rugby is safer, but long term is still risky. Even soccer is associated with CTE.

This is why we don't let our kids play any sport that involves getting your head whacked on a regular basis.

It's the singular sit-up I do every day
