Also, I’ve seen some stores indicate what sizes their models are wearing and it doesn’t always seem accurate. I have no idea what reason they’d have to lie about that though.

Chris Rock had a bit in the 90s about how men are “only as faithful as their options”.

Spoiler alert: he cheated on his wife.

Oooh I like that!! Yessss!! ❤️

Writing this out made me think about how the things people say to us can really become our own inner dialog about ourselves.

I have a long inseam and yet one of my exes told me I have “stubby legs” and that’s all I see when I look in the mirror. That was also when I was in the best shape of my life. Good grief, what an asshole. Good riddance!

I wasn’t buying myself jewelry because of something someone said to me once.

There was a blowout sale a few weeks ago at a department store that was going out of business. I couldn’t say no to 70% off so I bought myself some damn jewelry.

Now I just need to convince myself I deserve to wear it. Baby steps.

A 2021 review that Berghella co-authored scoured medical literature going back decades for cases in which doctors declared a woman brain-dead and aimed to prolong her pregnancy. It found 35.

Of those, 27 resulted in a live birth, the majority either immediately declared healthy or with normal follow-up tests. But Berghella also cautioned that the Georgia case was much more difficult because the pregnancy was less far along when the woman was declared brain dead. In the 35 cases he studied, doctors were able to prolong the pregnancy by an average of just seven weeks before complications forced them to intervene.

“It’s just hard to keep the mother out of infection, out of cardiac failure,” he said.

I feel for the family. She’s essentially been turned into a science experiment. How awful.

I’m just glad it’s staying in Canada

This effect introduces a difference in color contrast under different levels of illumination. For instance, in bright sunlight, geranium flowers appear bright red against the dull green of their leaves, or adjacent blue flowers, but in the same scene viewed at dusk, the contrast is reversed, with the red petals appearing a dark red or black, and the leaves and blue petals appearing relatively bright.

Cool!!

She has really striking markings on her eyes and ears. Almost like those cars from Tron! ❤️

I’ve come to appreciate being a jack of all trades

I try to remind myself that when I do say yes, they’re never quite as happy/appreciative/etc. as I expected or hoped for.

I try to please the people but the people aren’t even pleased, ugh.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one sees it, will it ever fulfill its destiny of becoming a stick?

Did you just shake the treat bag!

How about something having to do with the number 8?

…a nod at cats having 9 lives and you helped with her 1st save ❤️

Also, this is what I hate most about open work spaces. It’s hard to stay focused while also feeling very vulnerable.

I do it subconsciously, 100% of the time. I’m always aware of potential threats.

Ooh, I get the “forgot to study for an exam” stress-dream as well. It’s awful.

While this news pleases me, I wouldn’t say I feel uplifted
