Women more than make up for those months they missed their period. Mother nature has a sick sense of humor.

Post-birth bleeding. Whether you had a C-section or delivered vaginally, you will have bleeding for six to eight weeks after giving birth. However, this is not considered menstruation. It is called lochia.

The book "We" was quite impactful on me, in part due to this exact spinout

An excerpt from We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, the full paragraph reads:
It was long ago during my school-days, when I first encountered the square-root of minus one. I remember it all very clearly; a bright globe-like class hall, about a hundred round heads of children and Plappa—our mathematician. We nicknamed him Plappa; it was a very much used-up mathematician, loosely screwed together; as the member of the class who was on duty that day would be putting the plug into the socket behind we would hear at first from the megaphone, “Plap-plap-plap-plap—tshshsh....” Only then the lesson would follow. One day Plappa told us about irrational numbers, and I remember I wept and banged the table with my fist and cried, “I do not want that square-root of minus one; take that square-root of minus one away!” This irrational root grew into me as something strange, foreign, terrible; it tortured me; it could not be thought out. It could not be defeated because it was beyond reason.

Also an interesting read these days, "It's you who should be doing the becoming, not the damn fool computer"

An excerpt from Kurt Vonnegut's Armageddon in Retrospect:
Gates says, "Wait till you see what your computer can become." But it's you who should be doing the becoming, not the damn fool computer. What you can become is the miracle you were born to be through the work that you do.

3 weeks ago today, we lost my Murphy. I called him my kitbull because he had a big ol head that reminded me of pit bulls. He was my first pet lost to old age. A kick in the chest is exactly what it feels like.

Murphy the kitbull, a black cat with white whiskers, sitting on a brown couch and wearing a witch hat.

My friend posted a pic of her adorable kiddos camping. I messaged her to compliment her beautiful family, but couldn't help nagging just a little bit as her eldest was a bit more colorful than usual...

"Also tell that girl to apply some spf, I thought she was wearing a pink shirt for a second there!!"

Fuuuuuck these people.

"In the office, we actually get really bummed when we realized we're having a conversation and we forgot to turn on granola." She says, "I wish there was a granola in every room."

Yeah, this is the source, an Instagram post. And at the very bottom... "#satire" So it is completely fake.

This is her campaign website. She calls herself a Democratic Socialist. That's her platform.

A screenshot of kirosforco.com. It shows a picture of Melat Kiros, and in white text on a blue background says
"Melat is a:
- Lawyer
- PhD Student
- Democratic Socialist
- Running for Congress in Colorado CD-1!"

I don't have to be told twice. Dinnertime at my house 😼😸😺😸😺😻

Six cats lined up eating from six bowls. They are sitting on a gray mat. From left to right they are a long haired tabby, 2 short haired black cats, one long haired black cat, one massive short haired black cat, and a tiny long haired tuxedo cat.

Because Murphy's forehead is so broad and flat, I call him my "kitbull". Because he's always been so heavy for his size, like dense and literally big boned, we also call him "fluffy bones"

No thoughts only leggies

I agree with you, I support you in this... but you should probably read these things before you send them out officially.

For anyone curious about the context, wording, etc. Very possible the author of this article made it up, but this is definitely where they got it.

The horrors persist, but I have a family of birds on my porch, and seeing them grow makes life that much more bearable!

It's a fair question.

The illustrious Diedrich Bader in the TV episode "Mr Monk and the Naked Man". Mr Bader is the naked man, apparently wearing nothing but sandals and standing next to an orange vehicle. The car's door is strategically open, blocking the naked man's private region while allowing the audience to fully believe that that man is, in fact, naked.

Here's a fun one - a panoramic photo of my living room with the shelves we put up for the cats. There's a cat on each shelf! (Also obviously the photo was taken in December)

A panoramic picture of the upper half of a room. There are 6 shelves across 3 walls. Two of the shelves in the middle have Christmas stockings hanging from them. The highest shelf on the left is shielded by a bunch of fake leafy branches. There are 3 short haired black cats, a tabby, and a tuxedo cat on the shelves. Hard to see behind the leaves is a long haired black cat.

That's gonna stick with me, like this one.

Ours had their weigh in today. Callisto, our tuxedo, seems to have topped out at a petite 12.6 lbs. Connor, our big black boy, has been on a diet and is down to a healthy 17 lbs!

cats are such graceful, majestic creatures

Callisto the tuxedo cat sitting, legs splayed, on a blue and yellow blanket. Her face is saying that she's smelling something funky, possibly her own butt.

He is definitely a character. Here's a different angle of him, not caring one bit that my husband is trying to play a game.

Rocco the tabby curled up in a man's lap. The cat has his cheek resting on one of the man's arms while the man is holding a playstation controller with both hands.

My demons all love q-tips too, but the real troublemaker is Rocco. We call him Rocco Raccoon because he's a little trash panda. I only turned my back for a second to grab the leftovers I was putting away! I swear we do feed him enough!

Connor is 14 years old and Rocco is 9. Ever since Rocco was a kitten, Connor has adored him. I took this picture yesterday because they looked so sweet snuggling up and catching some rays.

Connor the black cat and Rocco the tabby, curled up side by side on a red-blanketed chair. The sun is shining in through the window behind them. Rocco's using the armrest of the chair as a pillow and Connor is using Rocco's butt.

Connor, my big beast black cat, treats everyone, cat or human, like just another thing to lay on. I got a picture of him laying on my kitten Simon where all you can see is Simon's little head. Simon grew up and decided to continue the tradition. He's a little nicer than Connor, though.

Connor the big black beast in a person's lap. Simon the black kitten has poked his tiny head out from under Connor's side. His entire body is under Connor's bulk. His eyes seem to be saying "halp!"

Simon, now a big black cat, laying in a person's blanketed lap on top of Callisto the tuxedo kitten. There is also a tabby cat laying behind them.

Was having a really hard time recently. Went to Google "diy willow weaving" thought i might try my hand at some baskets. My phone decided to poke the person standing on a ledge.

A google search. I'd typed "diy will" and google helpfully autocompleted "diy will colorado, diy will kit, diy will template, diy will and testament"

It lined up even more perfectly for me.

The thread of replies to Ken Jennings' post. User andylevy says, "what is blackmail?" Ken replies, "look, just do what you're told. If you need to be "funny" maybe post the Starship Troopers "doing my part" meme or something. Andy says, "I understood that reference.
Directly below this exchange, baneyboii has posted the "I'm doing my part" gif from Starship Troopers.
