Hey, I just found out that the Gap has a preemie line!
Everything is soft cotton, with no scratchy bits, kimono-style so that tubes and such won't be disrupted. Everything looks sooper-cuddly.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Wow. That's cool and a little bit freaky at the same time. That there'd be that big a need, I mean.
Have you seen the wee ones, Allyson? Can you give an adorableness update?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Brenda, it's interesting: in a couple of my classes (when I was a student) we talked about how one of the major offshoots of modern medicine was an increase in the number of preemies, as kids who wouldn't have survived a decade or two ago now did.
Of course, it would be better if more of them were carried to term, but, really, I tend to think of it as a net win.
If that makes it less freaky to think about.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
KAT!! We tried to hold the natter for you, but people were complaining about the slow thread death. Like the small people, I guess it just wanted to come.

I have spent the entire weekend asleep due to sinus funk. Apparently my body doesn't want to stay conscious more than a few hours at a time.
