Hubs recently put the box next to the toilet and our cat has since taken every chance she can to co-poop with us.

Yeah 16 pounds is a large cat like a Maine Coon cat or a small corgi / beagle. There are flighted birds that big but they’re not common.

interestingly there is a (rare) phenomenon where the male partner gets some or all of the menstrual or pregnancy symptoms. Apparently my grandmother could tell she was pregnant (she had 10 total not including miscarriages) because my grandfather would get morning sickness! Partially explains how she managed to have 10 if she wasn’t having to deal with all the symptoms herself.

It’s called “Couvade Syndrome.” Obviously a lot of it is likely somatic but apparently there are measurable changes in hormone levels in the partner. Humans did evolve to co-parent offspring so it makes sense that there would be physiological changes to support that.

As an aside, apparently the local doctor told her it was a shame she’d already had her appendix out because otherwise he could do a prophylactic appendectomy and “accidentally” cut her tubes while he was in there.

if my mother hadn’t forced me out early to intentionally lower my birth weight (I’m the last child and size tends to increase with subsequent births, my next oldest sibling complicated delivery by size alone) I might’ve succeeded too.

yeah my husband brought this up a few days ago actually and was talking about the movie and I was like do you remember me mentioning that I literally actually did that? 4 times around apparently!

apparently I literally tried to strangle myself on my umbilical cord in the womb but my take on that was that I knew what was coming.

sent this to hubby but given that we go at it like rabbits idk if -cel is the right suffix for him.

i mean. this is a completely normal pediatric knee x-ray:

and as for the difference in flesh shape it would actually make sense for the hair to be less radioopaque than the flesh itself…

it definitely is fake but that is kinda how bones work sometimes if they want to or haven’t finished getting where they’re going yet.

It’s called a “highly composite number!” I read up on a lot of this stuff while learning about numerology and other esoteric spiritual traditions!

sorry wrong comment / reply originally but yeah that probably hurts to look back on.

yeah it seems like one of those things where you’ll probably almost definitely see some kind of behavioral change, but what specifically is basically completely up in the air. My chronic suicidal ideation will flare up really bad right before I begin menstruating. Having an IUD means menstruating a lot less but it also makes it less predictable. So I’ll be in this deep dark hole for a few days that I would swear up and down is the worst I’ve ever felt and it’s never gonna get any better then one morning I’m taking a piss and my boxers have blood on them and I’m just like “…ooooooh.”
