@Wyl_84 @ungerbn103 @NoLieWithBTC Wrong. You are considered 2 weeks pregnant when you conceive. Many pregnancy tests won’t pick up a positive result at 4 weeks (the earliest a period would be missed) because there is not enough hcg in the blood. Six weeks is the earliest most women even find out they are pregnant

Taking a course in Restoration Ecology opened up so many doors for me in undergrad. So excited that my course is doing the same for students at @Reed College!

I don’t know why toddlers get a bad rap for not sharing. My 3yo never eats a booger that he doesn’t offer to me to try first. 🤢

@lilbeastpdx Bananas.

Tonight my toddler fondly recalled that breastmilk tastes like worms.

@oozannesay That’s a solid strategy. I’m filing that one away.

@oozannesay Inventory low. Check back soon.

@panerabread This rings hollow from a company who laid off an employee of color via text message when he called in sick to work because he couldn’t breathe and was on his way to the hospital to be tested for COVID-19. Does this action speak to your values as a company?

[Katie Pelletier @ktpelletier1]

@panerabread Now more than ever your employees who get COVID-19 deserve a break, and don’t deserve to be fired via text message and lose their health insurance as they fight for their lives. What is wrong with you? I’ll get my sandwiches at a restaurant with more humanity.

It’s hard to work from home because watching a toddler is a 40 hour a day job already.

If there is a hell, the music there is Elmo singing “Baby Shark.”

@OrlandoPolice @citybeautiful Turner, my wish for your retirement is that you find yourself broken and crying like that six-year-old girl you arrested so that you may find a little perspective, empathy, and decency, (which you so clearly lack) before you depart this earth.

@Professor_Gaga I am! I didn’t mean to be alarming—I was aiming at dark humor, and perhaps fell flat. haha. It’s been 20 years (almost to the day) of the pedestrian accident, so it’s *mostly* behind me. I think. (More on that later.) Thank you so much for the sweet note. Xo

I’ve been hit by car. I’ve strained for 24 hours to birth a 10 pound baby without the help of pain meds. But still, one of the most painful things I know is having to listen to a recording of myself conducting an interview.

@crf_pdx @ladderbirdlit @TKetner is the best! 💕 This news makes me so happy! Congratulations!

Week of 11/10 in Libra: You can be very certain that what you wanted is here. Take some time to be grateful about everything. It’s not everyday that the wind circles. It’s not everyday that you know where you’re going.

@ElizabethaRush Perhaps “Lightness” by Italo Calvino?

Prof. Jay Dickson of Reed College has been a supporter of the series almost since day one. In the early days the books we published received very little notice, but Jay was there.

And it's true—I just found the email he sent in 2004, exhorting us to republish Summer Will Show.
