$5000 to have a baby?! lmao have they looked at a hospital bill lately, I’d still be in the red
Apologies for not answering your email right away, *gestures* ig: @ alisharaiwrites
idk guys I’m starting to think DEI policies weren’t the source of incompetent government officials
Please watch Deli Boys on Hulu so we can squee about it together. It is SOOOOO funny, why am I rooting for criminals.
Ready to create a little fence around my baby’s head so strangers stop touching his hair 😩
“Were you all really checking two bags on Southwest?” Were you NOT? Have you never experienced the pleasure of throwing all your toiletries in a bag without checking the size? The joy of walking to your gate with simply your computer on your back? You have not truly lived!
I never liked daylight savings time, but after having a baby, I want to light it on fire
I keep getting served weird trad wife content like this these days and I just want to make it VERY CLEAR that this is the actual propaganda. Babies aren’t inherently oppressive, but being forced into motherhood is. Bye.
“Its not even her house she’s filming at!!!” Be SO fucking for real do you have any idea how much equipment and disruption filming requires? I know multiple people who rent whole ass apartments for their podcasts. And they are not Megan Sussex.
if we're going back to olden times in this country, i think that should include throwing tomatoes during speeches
Sometimes I wish I had my kid when I was younger, but then he melts down because I peeled a banana wrong and I find myself wanting to laugh more than scream. Better emotional regulation is worth the occasionally creaky knees.
In the very cute animated baby Ariel show on Disney Jr, Triton and Ursula are siblings! Were they always brother and sister??? I had no idea.
If you need help consuming less, may I suggest the book and the show The Swedish Art of Death Cleaning? I still feel the itch to buy things every now and again but I am so at peace lately when it comes to stuff.
Canadians really don’t want to be a part of America and I know this because of how horrified they are when I tell them the cost of literally anything healthcare related over here.
I didn't change my last name when I got married, totally out of laziness, and now after a couple years I just don't see any reason to changing it? Like, I can socially go by my married name, I don't care if anyone calls me Mrs., but all my documents stay uniform.
Ugh I know we’re all anti dunking on people who reply foolish shit to you over here but lord do some men like to test that feature
Equal parts amused at the HUD AI Trump/Musk video and nauseous that it went in my eyeballs
man everyone panicking about how romance has gotten too smutty these days clearly was not consuming during the lora leigh era and it shows
maybe we need to make more movies where nazis get punched
In good news not going to Target anymore has definitely resulted in saving us a ton of money
If you’re going to be staying at the Biltmore for RomantasyCon this weekend in LA, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the resident magician, Minkin. His show was my husband’s birthday gift! He’s very good.
*whispers* it’s plausible that Trump calling himself a king is an attempt to distract from all the terrible stuff he is doing AND we should still pay attention because that’s the justification he’ll use to do even more terrible thingsssss bye
My baby has a terrible hacking cough and cold and the only OTC drug you can give a kid this young is Tylenol/Motrin so all I can do is run steamy baths and watch him struggle. Please for the love of god keep you and your kids home when they are sick. 😷
Already anticipating a buffoonish Trump number in the musical they make in a hundred years about America’s second revolution. Somehow still written by Lin Manuel Miranda
Girding myself for four long years of white people demanding to know BUT WHERES KAMALA
