I’ve known this for a while, but another article pointing out the mortality rate isn’t rising. I’m legit puzzled as to why CDC and the media are not correcting the narrative. Am I missing something? Perhaps even without the redefinition of a pregnancy related death, the numbers would have gone up??

Playing Uno with my then-four year old. She drops a wild card.

Child: can I pick two colors?

Youths.

Picky eater plus future negotiator.

Me: Ok you’ve got two more pieces left!

Kid cuts one piece into three. Eats two.

Kid: I’m done!

Me: Whaat? No you’re not!

Kid: Yea I am! You said two pieces left!

Me: Nice try. I meant finishing everything on the plate!

Kid tosses remaining pieces off her plate.

Kid: Ok now I’m done!

How could I not let her be done after all that effort??

Ok I have decided peak nostalgia for me is working part time at the pharmacy section of Livingston’s CVS while 106.7 FM blared nonstop Springsteen/John Mellencamp.

Speaking of Jersey, the best encapsulation of Jersey living was the Telemarketers documentary. I knew versions of everyone on that show. It made me nostalgic while further complicating my wish to move back to NJ.

This was regular cartoon viewing for me growing up, singalong included. I'm quite impressed I'm not a raging drunk.

Things said by my child that can make me both proud and ashamed, #1:

“uh, who’s God?”

[madweekay]

Husband: <enters the room> Did you buy the thing?

Me: Yes.

Husband: Wait, you know what I’m talking about?

Me: OMG. Do you know what this means??

Husband: Yes. Our marriage has become sentient.

THAT is the loophole abortion rights lawyers need to latch on to and never let go of. Oklahoma just passed the strictest anti-abortion law out there, and defines fertilization as “the fusion of a human spermatozoon with a human ovum." This language impacts IVF. Can some smart lawyers challenge these psychotic laws by asking how infertility treatments - which aim to create life but can discard embryos as part of the process - cannot be spared by these laws? Also, I hope to the heavens that there are anti abortion people out there who are pro IVF and are forced to explain this inconsistency.

Nobody knows Dolly Dots, but I do, and when I noticed my favorite song of theirs was no longer on my Apple Music downloads or Spotify, I had to look into why. How come we never get notifications when songs disappear??

But seriously, this is legit the best song ever, and should be LA people’s anthem.
