Guys she has stopped pooping again it’s like war here. Hit like to make my premature baby poop as she so needs to!! I have been awake with her since 5! My wife was up with her twice in the night!! Wet but nothing more! Rage and squirming!

This is so cursed, when my baby is noisy I cannot sleep because she is noisy. When my baby is entirely silent I cannot sleep because i am worried she is dead. When my baby is shouting or feeding I cannot sleep because I am wrangling her in these activities, and when my baby is changed, fed, winded, returned to her crib in accordance with safer sleeping policies and she sleeps, I am the champion of all triumphs, I lie awake, wired, inexplicably ravenous and obsessed with all my own shortcomings and of course when and if my baby will next poop.

I hope the page in the austrian hotel guestbook where john signed his name as "John McCartney" is preserved in a museum behind ten inches of bulletproof glass I'm so serious

God it’s 3 am and my baby does at least now fit the sock which monitors her breathing so Quiet Baby doesn’t mean dead and grunting baby clearly doesn’t mean can’t breathe but I am very awake post feed and again SO HUNGRY

The fact that this was taught to us IN THE MIDST OF SECTION 28???

everything u need to know about me can actually be explained by the fact that i read that poem about the serving girl wearing the pearls so they're warm for her mistress when i was like 11 and it rewrote my brain chemistry forever

like this Changed Me

Thanks everyone she pooped at 2 am!!

She’s doing three hourly feeds and is full of wind. I woke up at 6 something and my wife had fed her at 5 something and she was making I Have Wind noises so I just brought her downstairs and now we’re watching BBC breakfast while she snoozes. I suspect we need another poop. HIT LIKE TO ENCOURAGE DIGESTIVE REGULARITY.

There had been bad blood between the Kinks and the Beatles since they played together on the same bill in 1964. John upset Davies backstage by saying, “We’ve lost our set-list, lads. Can we borrow yours?” implying that the Kinks, who had only released two singles at that point, were mere imitators. Paul was more respectful. When the Kinks released “See My Friends” in 1965, a track now widely regarded as one of the first pop songs to use Eastern scales, Paul played it over and over at the apartment of John Dunbar and Marianne Faithfull, and when he saw Ray’s brother Dave at the Scotch, he reputedly joked, “That ‘See My Friend.’ I really like that. I should have written it,” to which Dave retorted, “Well, you didn’t. You can’t do everything.” Ray Davies later commented, “Paul McCartney was one of the most competitive people I’ve ever met. Lennon wasn’t. He just thought everyone else was shit."

Imagine it's your last day alive and you're having to spend it with JD Vance 😭

The death of a conspicuously humble and compassionate pope at dawn of Easter Monday, after completing his Holy Week duties (prioritizing prisoners and children) and -- one can only presume -- rebuking a member of the church who has been making himself loathed and infamous by violating or ignoring the teachings of the gospels...

It's not the first time in the last few years that I've thought "medieval chroniclers would be going wild over this," but medieval chroniclers would really be going wild over this.

I had a baby and nearly died in the process!

my favorite Beatles pictures are always ones where they just look like a four idiots because that's what they truly were anyway

example a (candid)

example b (the photographer purposely placed them like this therefore emphasizing the fact that he too realizes they're idiots and does this to mock them)

no john, no one wants your fucking twig

I had a very sympathetic and clued-up mother but there was not much she could do beyond otc painkillers and sympathy, and one time advising me not to break up my relationship because I did not have any reasons beyond feeling Compelled To when it was also pretty clear and quite a good idea to hang on the literally two days before my period would start when OH LOOK I was fine. Other experiences:

- having a tremendous panic attack about taking a longed-for short local trip, because I wouldn’t be safe (period started in station toilet; mind cleared like God Himself had healed me)

- taking medication which made me feel legally insane for 30 minutes before I vomited until my stomach was empty; 10 years later seeing a friend was about to try same meds on way to a speaker event and DMing her DO NOT DO IT

- “it’s not an illness, gels” said by three different women teachers at my secondary school, where people did faint pretty often

- the pains down to your knees, the sweat, the pains up your back, the headaches, the palpitations, the conviction you are absolutely worthless; the inexplicable compulsion to self-sabotage which the world needs to be grateful is only turned inward

- writing a suicide note one time when i was 22, crying because I didn’t actually want to die and didn’t know what to put, it started 45 minutes later

- the time I brutally and eloquently savaged a wrong but essentially nice and inoffensive interlocutor and knew, knew I was totally right but also a bit… off but couldn’t also get a handle on why? 6 hours later.

- discovering how many of my students who are being put straight on massive doses of anti depressants have had terrible, terrible cycles for years but are told they’re “too young” for either it to be (a) the thing it obviously is or (b) appropriate to intervene

- being just offered the pill which made me insane more often

- thinking how impossibly, impossibly ugly I have suddenly become since yesterday OH

Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."

It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.

“There was a usual crowd of fans waiting for them as they went in. Not screaming. Just quiet and contrite, like humble subjects, subdued by the presence. As they went in, one girl very shyly gave George a button badge which said ‘George for PM.’ ‘Why would Paul McCartney want you,’ Said John to George.”
