No! But Groundhog Day and Caddyshack are - as if they're the best Bill Murray had to offer, when you've got Ghostbusters, Scrooged!, and What About Bob? Just ridiculous.

Of course, you’ll have to now rewrite this post to say ‘grammatically correct’, since no hyphen is required after the -ly suffix. But you knew that, right? 😉

When we lived in London, we used to do a New Year’s party starting in the early afternoon for all of the Aussies we knew. We put up the world clock on the big screen to count down and thus we discovered how many crazy time zone alterations there are. Like, Kathmandu is 45 minutes out: UTC +05:45. 🤯

But they are exactly the kind of thing that should NOT stump a computer

That’s hilarious 😆

A local artist traded me some odd objects for some of my art. One was a soup bomb. I assumed ”bomb” meant it was for the bath, maybe a little vegetal. My mom LOVES baths.

Turns out it was soup. In a ball. And my mom had to call for help to get out of the bathtub.

Fruit salad with marshmallows? I truly will never understand American cuisine...

Yes, I have several close friends with horrific injuries due to malpractice. One won’t even go into detail about it: she’s so mortified about the state of her body

Right?? Just madness

In Australia we are not required to show ID for domestic flights. And at Melbourne International airport there are great scanners which mean you don't have to remove laptops, belts, shoes, anything. It's such a joy to travel through.

53, sorry

This! The way that fellow scholars depict convents as places full of women abandoned there by their families because they were useless, hard-to-marry-off, etc, instead of places where women chose to go and could live very fulfilling lives, is exhausting.

The skincare industry is the single biggest grift out there. I remain astonished at how it reels women in, generation after generation.

Both of my births were super traumatic in diff ways: 1 with epidural, 1 without. I felt that, bc I didn't hemorrhage, they just abandoned me. One midwife initially refused to give me pain meds until I broke down sobbing in the hallway!
So there's plenty of opportunity for grifting on how bad it is.

The low nonsense skincare is Vaseline, btw :)

Yes, both my births were traumatic and I desperately want reform of natal care, but not its abandonment with the incredible claim that ‘childbirth is not dangerous’! There is little else that is more dangerous, both to mothers and babies.
