this is exactly why I converted to Gnosticism. Mainstream Christianity never sat well with me, atheists are pretentiously #intellectual, and agnosticism just wasn’t loud enough. Now I’m following in the footsteps of Jesus by vibing with the homeless dudes at the bus stop, whipping out a tarot deck when I need to be alone with my feelings, and drawing weird sacred geometry that makes people uncomfortable even though it’s shit they learned in middle school. 10/10 highly recommend.

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.
