On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

NILLY++!!

OMG.

I'm also loving the lisah-vows. I vote for msbelle's most recent essay.

Vibing wellwards for Kathy's surgery.

Unrelated to all that, the cafe downstairs is staffed by people who I think haven't staffed cafes before. But, on the other hand, they have unsweetened chai lattes.

You guys!

(I had to wait with telling you until it showed, because in the DH's family you only tell about pregnancies when it shows, so it wasn't fair that the people who can't see me and guess would know before the people who can. So I had to wait. But I knew that my deadline would be the "not so tiny" "Press" post, because it's a reference, and I couldn't not-answer with a straight face like last year.)

Also, the due date is just the one that two physicists should get when they try to go to the next generation: Einstein's birthday, also known as Pi day. I mean, how could it be otherwise? (even if, of course, the actual date still has some four months or so to be known, if hopefully all goes well).

Awww, of course you'd have a Pi Baby! Perfection.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Perfect. I don't think I need to point out to you that 3/14 also adds up to 17.
