fledgling baby catcher on a quest to bake the perfect pie. DM me a weird fact, dark secret, or bizarre question

[chris 🦉 @mosephos]

there's this moment during childbirth where the baby's not a fetus but not yet an infant. a moment when no one breathes until the baby cries. a moment of pure terror and wonder.

a moment when ancestral memory seems to mean something

@sonikudzu and the profession actively discourages us from doing (and especially disclosing) that math

[loading… @sonikudzu]

doctors will be forced by an inescapable liability construct formed of professional organizations and the desires of insurance companies known as “standard of care” to take actions based on the additional data.

@Chesedgirl agreed
