Me and the ground are one :)

It was definitely interesting observing how her dad's mentality as a businessman was reflected in her, so much of us is formed by the kind of environment we're raised in and if you don't question and reject those values, well

I honestly would probably not date a rich person again I think that level of privilege does more often than not turn out very selfish people. It's not like I'm selfless but a certain level of baseline concern for others beyond yourself is a priority for me. Well I could probably have vetted that better to begin with, I just get wrapped up in other people's orbit, and self-absorbed people do have a certain gravitational pull.

I also did her ethics homework once. She was so bored with that class. First red flag.

No, actually, but reading that article on one reason women in the US may have so many c-sections is because we tell women they cannot eat or drink anything once they start labor, their body becomes depleted of key electrolytes as they spend hours in labor and they don’t replace it with anything, and they they’re too tired to keep pushing was a revelation for me.

Because it reminds me of doctors telling women in the past not to gain too much weight, to have an enema before labor, to lay straight on their backs while giving birth. This is all for the benefit of the doctors - smaller babies are easier to pull out of the birth canal, they don’t want you pooping on the table, doctors like having a clear line of sight more than you having a natural birthing position.

Like yes, we don’t want women to aspirate on their vomit if we have to intubate or put them under anesthesia during labor. But also, yall don’t seem to give a fuck if you have time to give women pain meds before slicing them open during the c section, so like…maybe let the mothers have a blue Gatorade and and some meats and cheeses when they’re 2 hours deep into labor and they won’t need the c section in the first place.

“Maybe we’re building up acids in the uterus of women who are in the middle of labor the same way athletes build up lactic acid in their muscles and we should study this 10 cent intervention”

Hey how the fuck did no one think of this before now. All my friend was allowed to eat during her 40 hour labor before a c section was ice chips and a popsicle.

It will all work out in the end :)

flushing easily is an abysmal experience, feeling a tiny bit awkward or any other emotion, let's make it worse: r❤️ed ❤️

[mycotrophicghost]

That's kind of really not fair.

part of the reason why it’s hot as fuck is because there’s no plants and fucking trees. yall keep building shit and getting in the fucking way. LET THE DAMN PLANTS GROW??? you put all this concrete down everywhere, you destroy the ecosystem, now you’re wondering why earth is whopping our asses???? 😭 like i’m not saying trees are gonna solve every little thing but what the fuck?

(some guy on the internet voice) it's so unrealistic and forced when women win fights against men in stories. of course, when a young boy defeats a huge man I'm cheering and screaming because it is so badass, and when a frail old man defeats a cocky young warrior I feel nothing but satisfaction. I love these power fantasies about easily dispatching people who underestimate you, a thing I desire despite the fact that I will likely never have the skill to achieve it in real life, but I'm pretty sure women don't have that same desire, and even if they do, they shouldn't get to see it in media. because it's so unrealistic, you see. I mean I'm smart enough to know I can't take down a big man in a fight but the women, you know, they'll get ideas. I could probably do it if I trained hard enough, but the women??? for some reason I can't see it happening, and who can say why that is.

wordle in 1: joyless. it is statistically inevitable that your go-to starting word will be the solution one day, and this is no more of an accomplishment than running a random number generator once a day until it gives you "1"

wordle in 2: misleading. you may think that this is the highest achievement, but it suffers from the same disappointment of a lucky guess that wordle in 1 causes. your second guess is a strategic choice, but ending the game this early just isn't interesting

wordle in 3: the peak. your starting word gave you some information and then your second guess contextualized that information into a solvable position. your sharp intuition and restraint is what truly separates you as above average.

wordle in 4: statistically average, par for the course, the baseline against which all other wordles are compared.

wordle in 5: you're sweating. you made a mistake at some point, or your starting word was effectively useless, and it took an extra guess above average to close things out. wordle in 5 comes as a relief.

wordle in 6: crushing humiliation. you have technically succeeded but at what cost. your thirty square grid will stare back at you like barrels of a firing squad. a failure in all but name.

wordle failure: never your fault. what kind of stupid word even was that like come on

“If there is such a thing as marriage, it takes place long before the ceremony: in a car on the way to the airport; or as a gray bedroom fills with dawn, one lover watching the other; or as two strangers stand together in the rain with no bus in sight, arms weighed down with shopping bags. You don’t know then. But later you realize — that was the moment. And always without words.”
