When I got pregnant with my second child, I was nervous.

I have a few books from when I was a small child that bear the stamp of food lucifer McDonald’s in an attempt to lure me […]

It does suck(le) that my boobs are extra milky and leak all over everything making laundry a bitch and causing me […]
So it seems that United States hospitals- where else would this happen?!- are testing newborns for marijuana exposure. Aside from being fucking stupid- excuse the language- and a total invasion of privacy, it turns out that the results are fairly inconsistent begging the question: what is causing the false positives for THC and why do […]
