my ceramics studio is full of young woke hipster types. the other day i was chatting with a few ppl about buying used furniture and how the hardest part is transporting it. i said “my rich friends use lugg for everything, but it doesn’t seem worth it for a $100 couch.” when i

i somehow never realized that you’re just awake for like 16+ hours while giving birth, and then once you’re done with this incredibly taxing endeavor, you’re handed a baby that needs to eat every 3 hours.

so apparently in berkeley they make us sort out paper vs plastic/metal/glass recycling, but everything just gets dumped into the same large section of the truck. does anyone know if there are penalties to simply not sorting anymore?

we have to figure out who should get our kid if fiancé and I both die and there are basically no good options. our parents are all too old. only have one sibling with kids and his values differ pretty strongly from ours. cousins seem like a stretch.

i walked in on my parents having sex once and they made no attempt to change/hide the situation, they just asked me what i needed in an amused tone. i got better at knocking after that, pretty sure that was the only effect.

i don’t mind AI generated art, but i do really dislike fake plants and i feel like bc of this i can see what the anti AI art ppl are on about

my leftist friends frequently make comments in the direction of “i’m not sure i’d want to bring a child into the world given how terrible things are.” it’s so jarring to me. like, a) the world is objectively better than it’s ever been b) even if it weren’t, wouldn’t you want to

are there any contemporary rockstars engaging in the type of debauchery old school rockstars of the 70s and 80s got up to? i feel like every member of led zeppelin would have been cancelled immediately if they tried that shit today. no true legends anymore.

love languages aren’t real, but also i had a long tough day and got home at 11pm and fiancé cuddled me sweetly and then offered to make me a grilled cheese, which is my favorite bad day food

i once dated an uncircumcised guy for 4 months before i realized he wasn’t circumcised, because i only ever saw his dick when it was hard. i found out because he said something about it, not because i noticed.

fiancé left a device with a coin battery disassembled on the coffee table and i just got anxious when i saw it because “what if the baby eats it?” what the actual fuck have pregnancy hormones done to my brain?

child support is a given, but any man that gets a woman pregnant and doesn’t provide a supportive relationship/home should also have to pay her for the ~1 year her body is sacrificed to bearing said child.

my mom is helpful and knowledgeable, but not comforting or warm. my MIL is lovely but i don’t know her well enough to be comfortable having her around for difficult/intimate moments. is it worth being kinda uncomfortable in exchange for help, or are we better off alone?

do you enjoy going to bed at night?

someone pls find aella a husband. she wants to give my baby knives and i desperately need her to get her own baby to do experiments on. also she’s a real gem and deserves to find love.

had my bag flagged at security bc of a large sex toy. the tsa agent asked me what the object at the bottom of my bag was, and with unbroken eye contact i said “a large sex toy, would you like to see it?” and he very quickly declined. in case anyone wanted to know how to smuggle
