It's finally here: The moment all the print magazines of my adolescence warned me about.
I must style, pack, and fit outfits for both a bachelorette party and a work retreat in the same week & suitcase.
It's time to go from Day to Night.

Ectopic pregnancies can literally kill the women who experience them, and often the only treatment is abortion.
Abortion opponents are now calling for "watchful waiting," instead of treatment, which doctors are calling "malpractice." vox.com/2019/9/11/20859034/e…

I asked for advice in a few FB groups on how to split night feeds for the baby when my husband goes back to work, and it is nuts how many women just do all of it themselves because their husbands have convinced them he is “the world’s deepest sleeper.”

To recap:
1. @mckaycoppins writes an amazing profile of Romney, in which the senator admits having a secret Twitter.
2. @ashleyfeinberg does her thing, and finds the account basically immediately.
3. @MittRomney confirms.

Embarrassing confession: I do not know what I like to do. I have two kids under 3.5 and much of my free time is spent in service of our household or doing the bare minimum for myself, so I do not have any hobbies.

There are a few theories about why Wite-Out sales remain high:
1. Artists are using it as paint
2. An uptick in stationery sales (which means people are hand-writing and using paper)

Nearly all active-duty members of the Army and Navy — 98% — are vaccinated against Covid-19. The service members who still refuse shots will be dismissed, the military said. Thousands of troops requested religious exemptions, but none have been granted. nyti.ms/3F5xtRU

Some other important context is that we are already splitting night feeds where he is actually doing more work, but his hospital job starts at 6 AM, requires a 4 AM wake-up, and is objectively high-stakes, so that isn’t super sustainable starting on Monday.
