Kurt Vonnegut's Mother Night
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

I'm like 90% sure that Hallmark produced a GO fanfic Christmas romcom with the numbers filed off. Gabriel is literally their boss.

So much "normal parameter" stuff for pregnancy I'm guessing is based on women who are not 6ft tall with a huge linebacker build, and it is Very Annoying to constantly be told "well this marker is a little high we will monitor it" and then everything is completely fine at my next appointment

5 weeks to go. An exoskeleton of pillows is no longer enough. I need to sleep on a cloud of memory foam that perfectly conforms to my body and helps me get up and out of bed

IT HAPPENED TO ME: was literally watching milk to stop it before it boiled. Still at the stove, I focused my attention one foot to the left for approximately five seconds. Milk boiled the fuck over.

Christmas movies really need to show the reality of Dec 27 when the protagonist who just quit her high paying City Job is trying to find dinner at 8:00 and has to face the reality that not only is there no good Chinese takeout in a 20 mi radius, but every restaurant in the county closes at 7:00 p.m.

So much of my last few weeks of pregnancy are comprised of scaling towards heretofore uncharted and, in some cases, nigh unsuspected thresholds of heartburn
