The cat who was completely obsessed with my bump when I was pregnant is quite uninterested in the baby now that she's out. It's a weird way to find out that my cat is a Republican.

I really can't get over the fact that COVID has killed more Canadians this year than 2020 or 2021, our hospitals are falling apart and we can't care for our children but Insta and Twitter are full of partying, maskless people. When did we decide we didn't care about others?

After 3.5 years of waiting and hoping, our daughter is finally here.
Accepted as is: Rosemary Iris Jackie Trant, born at 9 lbs 5 oz and 21 inches.

Not the best or most life-changing piece of advice but my Dad always said that we almost always make the best decisions we can at the time with the information we have. It's not fair to reevaluate ourselves afterwards with information we didn't have at the time.

Have other PIs used a code of conduct for students working in their lab? Obviously, I'd prefer an informal "everyone be reasonable" approach but that's not foolproof and I'd like to have something in writing before disaster strikes.

People on here calling me a whore because I coauthored a book on great sex are pretty funny because 1) there's nothing wrong with being either a professional or an amateur whore and 2) I married the only person I ever dated so it's not real accurate from a numbers perspective.

Said "motherfucker" in a meeting today with grad students. I think my social skills might be atrophying from being home alone all the time. Or my late 30s "no fucks given" attitude is just out of control. Either way, I might need to shape up.

I love how people tell you to let the dishes wait, like 1) you're not going to run out of dishes, 2) you have infinite room for dirty dishes and 3) you'll still be able to de-gunk the dishes after leaving them for days. What universe do these people live in?

Fun fact: the clinician who originally identified the issue (Dr. Pauline Clance) prefers the term "impostor phenomenon" to "syndrome" because she believes these feelings to be commonly-experienced and not an indication of pathology.

My husband, who had never changed a diaper or even held a baby until two weeks ago, recently gave me a "pro tip" about diaper changing. I can't tell if we should all strive to have that level of confidence about new skills or if that's a big part of the problem.

My baby is 3 months old today so allow me to be sentimental for a moment. Most of the goals I've worked towards in my life have ended up being mixed blessings once I achieved them. This is not one of those situations. Parenting this baby has been so much better than I expected.

I genuinely don't understand why people feel that if we advocate for the rights of people who are trans or non-binary, the fight for women's rights will be dropped. It's not an either/or proposition. We can advocate for all groups at once. One doesn't take away from the other.

It's easy to feel sad and angry, especially after the last few years, but I met a new favourite person in 2022. And if that kind of life-changing thing can still happen at age 39, it feels like a lot of other magical things might still be possible.

When my Dad died last October, I got food, cards and phone calls. When I had my second miscarriage a month later, I got nothing. There is a culture of silence around pregnancy loss and it turns an already devastating situation into an isolating one as well. We need to do better.

When my Dad was in the hospiyal in a city 10 hrs away, his team wasn't calling me back to let tell me how he was doing. I called the hospital as Dr. Menard from (hospital where I worked at the time), looking for Dr. (Dad's doctor) regarding his patient. That worked.
