Once again I’d like to shout out the scheduler I talked to once at the dermatologist’s who asked “Do you want me to schedule your next appt deadass in the middle of the day so it would be dumb to go to work?”

Queen, you have changed my life

Jumped theory: he opposed blowing up random Venezuelan fishermen.

Pushed theory: look at him.

Might be a bit of both.

Whether he jumped or was pushed, this seems like a big deal. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

A kid was complaining about 2 characters in a book she’s reading and another kid said, “Oh that makes sense to me. After I was assaulted, I stopped wearing dresses altogether” and these are the things people casually disclose

I woke up at 5:00 thinking someone was smoking weed in our house. It was a skunk.

To be clear, it was outside. And not smoking weed.

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent.

I love kids but I can barely afford my pets.

Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

As a kid we were so poor that when we went to BK’s we had it other people’s way.

Banging on about replacement rates and the fertility crisis is a guaranteed way to spot someone who wants to control women

Their solution to the supposed fertility crisis is always removing enough rights from women, that you force them to be pregnant

How about the powers that be don’t make it so hard to afford the hospital bill from labor & delivery, and just being able to afford to survive?

I know a bunch of young marrieds (including my own kid) who aren’t having kids because of the cost. They have friends who have a $30K bill L&D bill. 😳

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."
