Hey peeps, one of my soccer teammates needs me to write him a character reference letter (the government is trying to deport him and he’s a solid dude who doesn’t deserve any of this), any immigration lawyers here with recommendations on the best way to go about that?

So how do we feel about baby pictures on here? Because after carrying this adorable parasite for 9 months, I’m going to want to share it.

Baby has its head in my ribs. Still a week or two to turn over, but we are breech and I’m uncomfortable.

My goal dot the next hour: create a dinner using shrimp, pasta and fire roasted tomatoes.

Today I confirmed that my 8yo loves me more than he loves ham sandwiches. I did a diplomacy at work. My cat will sit on my lap and give the baby bump some feline purr-cussive therapy.

Does anyone have any experience with biodegradable glitter? #glitter #crafts

I wonder how many hours I've had to waste obtaining research rather than being able to just click directly to the pdf so I can do science. Having to do university SSO/vpn/fifteen clicks to the actual damn pdf. Or discovering we don't have it, writing to the author or a colleague to ask for a […]

My 8yo wants to wait to hold his birthday party until after the baby is here so that the baby can also have fun at his party. I hope my second born is even half as sweet as my first born.

My son got upset that our utensils weren’t actually made of silver.

I do not want Venezuela I do not want Greenland. I do not want Cuba. I do not want Canada. I do not want Mexico. I just want healthcare.

They're bringing back the Waldos. The USMNT has regained the mandate of heaven.

It’s the mother of all Mondays.

Just as a reminder, my doctors told me to avoid stress during pregnancy. I’m 80% there and it is getting DIFFICULT.

I forgot to harvest the sunchokes.

Percy prefers to cuddle when there is the least chance that you will try to touch him. #caturday #orangecat

Three good things to keep me grateful: 8yo did well at the dentist. Baby is moving. Husband found the missing headphones

When I’m not pregnant anymore, after I catch up on my sleep from taking care of a newborn, then you all better watch out.

@cwgrody Sorry to see Joker is injured!

Happy Christmas, @FediTree

“Immense world” is a remarkable book written with a lot of science but also sensitivity. I try to get everyone to read it. It totally changed the way that I think about how animals think. The audiobook is great. With non-fiction sometimes audiobooks don't work, but this one is worth listening […]

Percy is no longer afraid of the new beanbag. #caturday

I’m grumpy way earlier in this #pregnancy than the first. 7 months and just mad at everything. Counting down to March 1.

I don’t know how to say this, but I really don’t like koalas.

Anyone have advice for an expecting person with low iron?

The reason I don’t do puzzles is that it’s 1:30 AM and I just looked up from doing a puzzle. #jigsawpuzzle #hyperfocus

My cat loves a window, especially after snow. #caturday

I initially read this headline as "cats meow more than twice as much AS men", and of course my reaction was "that doesn't sound right, I meow at my cat all the time." https://www.sciencealert.com/cats-meow-more-than-twice-as-much-at-men-and-we-can-only-guess-why #Caturday #misreadheadline […]

“Rural America knows the truth long before the rest of the country feels it. Nothing collapses all at once. It just stops working in small places first while everyone else calls it local hardship. That’s why wood banks—like a food bank but for fuel—are important. They’re the clearest sign that […]

I have been granted worthy of an email limit of 2000 sends per day. KNEEL BEFORE MY COMMUNICATING POWER!!

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

*It worked great for the data set it was given

Large organization issues: I sent 300 people the wrong link yesterday at 6 PM. I am only allowed to send 500 emails every 24 hours. So far 50 people have emailed me pointing out the incorrect link. I could email 200 people the correct link, but then I couldn’t send any emails for the rest of the […]

I suffered double Charlie horses this morning while holding a fortunately lukewarm cup of coffee. The joys of being 28 weeks pregnant. Now I’m off to do some laundry.

I’m so cold but I am craving ice chips. I really need to get my iron levels up before I get hypothermia.

Northern Kentucky is forecasted to get 1-3 inches of snow overnight. Folks are asking if our training will be canceled. Is 3 inches of snow a lot for that area? I laughed, but then I got several more calls and emails. #kentucky #snow

I don’t know who likes coffee more, me or the baby in my belly. The cat isn’t much of a fan, makes his pillow (my stomach) too jumpy.

Toasters be all like, "Surprise! It's toast!" Every goddamn time.

While driving home from Thanksgiving. Husband: Is that a prison? Dear reader, it was the Gary/Chicago International Airport.

How does Detroit not have a PWHL team yet? Am I just supposed to root for Minnesota forever? #pwhl

I made sweet potato rolls I made cheat lime pie We prepped the roasted beets and sweet potatoes I love not cooking the turkey

I celebrated passing the gestational diabetes test with a bowl Frosted Flakes. Now to solve my iron issues.

Randall Monroe's #xkcd comic has the power to make you laugh, to make you think ... and sometimes to make you cry. For the right reasons. * Posted in Nov 2012: Two Years * Posted in Dec 2017: Seven Years * Posted in Nov 2020: Ten Years * Posted yesterday (Nov 2025): Fifteen Years […]

Hanging out in a med office during my 3 hour gestational diabetes lab, I talk to every nice face that goes by, which included an infant education professional. She gave me a new friend. #infantcpr #random #newfriend

Today I’m getting tested for gestational diabetes via 🎶 a Three Hour Lab 🎶
