Watching Mrs. Doubtfire for the first time.
"I was thinking of a 17th-century grand piano..."
*eye starts twitching*
The "little death" is a Renaissance euphemism for orgasm (see Arcadelt's "Il bianco e dolce cigno" which every music history student encounters their first semester) and this is why the humanities are important, thank you for coming to my Ted talk
I don’t understand how people don’t co-sleep. I know folks that put their babies in other rooms at 4 or 5 months to provide them “structure” or routine.
Sleep is not called the little death for nothing. You cross the rubicon of consciousness…in a tiny baby, one that has only known the smell and sound of his/her own mother, leaving that baby alone to traverse this frightening experience is inhumane.

It blows my mind to see people talk about a "fertility crisis" when we are adding the equivalent of one United States to the global population approximately every five years right now
This is such a batshit take, imagine if we applied it to literally any other organization
"Sir, two of our planes crashed inexplicably, killing 346 people!"
"All flaws are weeded out in time"
The other students haven't figured out I'm gay and I've decided I'm going to wait until they ask me point blank then respond like this
