TELL PEOPLE YOU’RE HAPPY TO SEE THEM!!!!

Also phrase invitations like “I want you to come, but it’s up to you” (expresses a clear preference for their company) rather than “You can come if you want” (sounds like you’re just giving permission reluctantly, and don’t really care)

one reason why the wife and i spent so much time preparing a birth plan is that after she got pregnant, we wanted to avoid the first trimester nausea, so we started researching and reading the literature

turns out first trimester nausea is driven by hormones the placenta produces (mainly GDF15 and hCG), but what makes it worse for most women is blood sugar instability.
pregnancy lowers maternal fasting glucose, so if the stomach gets empty overnight or in the morning, nausea gets significantly worse

which means eating crackers or cookies in the morning doesn’t help, you’re spiking and crashing blood sugar when you need stability

what the research shows is that protein reduce nausea better than carbs.
what worked for us was a protein and fat rich meal before bed (to sustain blood sugar overnight), then good carbs and fats as soon as she wakes up before the crash hits

it may have been luck, but it helped a lot and the wife almost never suffered from first trimester nausea
when we went to the gynecologist and asked about nausea prevention, she said “it’s normal, you just have to deal with it”, and that’s how we realized we had to do most on our own

if i had a boyfriend i'd feed him apples and stroke the back of his head like a well-kept horse. but i'd be cruel to him also

just silently woke up from a nap and heard my partner say “yar! I can’t find me spatuler!” From the kitchen In a Mr Krabs voice. How often does she do this kind of stuff to entertain herself I wonder

i don't know who needs to hear this but in order to become a better person, you must first realize how horrible you really are. not in the dramatic sense, but in the quiet ways you sabotage yourself, repeat unhealthy patterns, hurt people who care about you, or tolerate what wounds you. you cannot grow if you keep pretending you’re innocent in the story you created

Women are taught to be submissive so they could take advantage of us. Case in point: I dropped my car at the dealership for repairs. The guy says they'll need to keep it a few days—maybe two, maybe five. I asked for a loaner; he said sorry, none available. I explained I live an hour away and an Uber wouldn't work for days. He suggested bringing it back another time when they have one. I pointed out I'd already driven an hour and the lot had hundreds of cars, I felt totally stuck. So I thought, what would a man do? I threw a tantrum: I said “I need a fucking car! You have to give me one. This same bullshit happened last time, and you should've fixed it five months ago. Give me a car, please!" Then He went to “triple check,” came back, and suddenly a loaner appeared. I'm sitting in it now.
Moral of the story: Be kind when possible, but when in doubt, act like a man.

i love the very obvious, gentle fact that despite being an outlaw who doesn't second guess putting a bullet through someone's head, arthur morgan also chooses to draw flowers he finds in his journal. little critters. notes. "thought this was interesting.." okay cutie

My friend sent me a message that said you’ve been strong all year so don’t finish strong, finish rested. Sharing because I’m sure I’m not the only one who needed to hear this.

this is an aggressive reminder that you deserve to be considered as much as you consider others in love and friendship
