The only defense I have for adults who throw big birthdays for themselves is that *a small subset* are actually great ladies who recognize that they're the natural event organizer in the friend group and everybody loves it when they make a weekend itinerary appear like magic
Something slightly funny about my husband and I is that we eloped on Halloween so our anniversary is always... well, it's always Halloween
That innate toddler drive to remove everything you're placing into a box faster than you can put it in
Attaching this to every debate about the merits of academia from now until the sun burns out
You're not supposed to say this but having kids completed me
I was taught -- explicitly -- that if you feel incomplete or chronically unhappy without a partner or children they will not complete you and you will ruin your life pursuing them before healing
That was just not true
I'm not saying life with kids is continuous bliss (hahahaha), but absolutely there is a floor for my personal despair that didn't exist before. I can be pretty unhappy, sometimes for a long time, but it basically bottoms out at a way less dysfunctional place than it did before
I'm a sheet ghost for Halloween this year because the 4-year-old is operating smoothly in her lane and therefore dictates absolutely everything Halloween-oriented in this house during the brief window where she is both very cute and the only child able to talk
I'm sorry, you told him you're pursuing his execution and then let him go home with an ankle monitor?
Apparently between Gilley's bail proceeding and his flight to Italy, Texas voters approved a ballot initiative to make it easier to deny bail. Terribly unfortunate timing
A Texas man accused of killing his pregnant wife cut off his ankle monitor, hopped on a bicycle, and boarded a private jet to Italy before his murder trial — and now the Italian government is dictating the terms of his return.
Italy granted Lee Gilley's extradition only after U.S. prosecutors agreed to drop the capital murder charge tied to the death of his unborn child. No death penalty. No life without parole. The reduced first-degree murder charge carries 5 to 99 years if convicted.
Gilley's defense attorney says an appeal is likely, meaning the man accused of murdering Christa Bauer Gilley could remain overseas even longer. Authorities believe he had help fleeing the country.

First time growing plants from tissue cultures, wish me luck because I went way overboard on quantity here lol
I feel like this clip is proof that you can just come up with inexplicable and bizarre human mating practices at random and somehow they're always going to be more humane than modern dating
