Sort of tearfully realising that maybe I'm just not a very productive person and that maybe if all I do in a day is keep my son alive and relatively happy, that's enough (and I shouldn't expect to have time for making things and editing videos and exercise and Japanese study, because it's my expectation of that time that's making me unhappy)

kinda stupid for the rokos basilisk guys to call themselves rationalists. getting scared of a time traveling murder robot isnt very rational

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!

(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)

Share what you got!

I want to fall down this in opera gloves and a marabou trimmed dressing gown, and not spill a drop of my martini

This is the worst, most slippery, break-neck modern stair design I’ve ever seen. Terrible.

I genuinely think if you want to have kids, you should have a list of at least a dozen people who you would trust at the drop of a hat to pick your kid up or take care of them in an emergency. Family, friends, neighbors - you need to start building your village so when you have a kid somebody can bring a meal, or help around the house postpartum, or take an older child on short notice in case of an emergency.

And be ready to be that person for others - even if you are child-free for life, look out for your pregnant, postpartum, adopting, and child-rearing community members and see if they need support.

And don't come on my post and say "don't have a kid unless you can care for them alone." It's just not true. A single person given full responsibility for the life of a child (especially an infant) can become a danger to themselves and their kids. They are the primary caregiver, not the only one. In many cultures (and among the wealthy in every culture) it is normal to hire people to assist with children, especially newborns, whose care equates to a full-time job.

I'm not going to bother reading the article to find out if this actually works or if anyone is actually trying it. I'm just happy we as a society are showing proper reverence for Orbs.

"30 years old isn't old man" what privilege do you live in where your life expectancy is far past 30 years

This post blindsided me so bad I spent a full minute staring at it in shock

it’s so interesting that all the TERFs who say what a pinnacle of feminism Rowling is are completely silent about this.

why was a pregnant woman allowed to be discriminated against on a production of her work? where was her support for this woman?

she can apparently find the time to tweet about strangers’ genitalia twenty times a day but can’t find the time to publicly condemn this? interesting, that.

her name is antonia kinlay btw. remember her name and don’t let ms joanne or her cronies ever forget her.

“if you’re sensitive to sounds when sleeping, just use earplugs!” i cannot stress enough that the sensory feeling of having my ears fully blocked AND now being able to hear my own heartbeat and breathing and every other sound that’s happening inside my own body is a million times worse than whatever ambient noise may be keeping me awake

My chronic pain doctor suggested I exercise more

I asked him “how?”

He looked confused. Said I should try a bit every day

I said “not when, how?” I asked what exercises I should do

He suggested half a dozen options that had all been explicitly banned by other doctors. I’m not allowed to run. I’m not allowed to bike. I’m not allowed to use my rowing machine or my punching bag.

I walk my dog whenever I have the energy and when it doesn’t hurt too much

What else can I do?

He told me I should exercise more

And then he changed the subject.

Yay im irrelevant

people don't really get mad about millennials anymore. we have become the new gen x. people don't care about us anymore. like at most they feel a bit sorry for us. this is wild because ten years ago we were destroying the world
