pregnancy

Singer-songwriter Grimes slyly announced her pregnancy with Elon Musk  (and displayed her nipples) on Instagram and Twitter yesterday evening, and the internet has gone completely wild over the news. The Canadian artist had uploaded two photos of herself: one with nipples, and one without. Both photos have a very subtle fetus photoshopped into her womb. After about an hour of rabid internet speculation, Grimes confirmed her pregnancy in an Instagram comment, referring to pregnancy as wild and feral. The post was later deleted for nudity. 

While the Instagram gods have acted upon their wildly anti-nipple stance, they can't stop memers from going in on the exceedingly memeable couple. Memers are roasting the twosome gleefully on Twitter, making copious references to space, technology, and, of course, aliens. We're pretty sure that the Musk x Grimes collaboration will result in 100% human offspring, but the meme-y alternatives and witty Twitter reactions are giving us life. Here are our favorites.

Feeling drained and listless after the seemingly unending holiday madness? Do you not know how to get through life without a glass of champagne glistening in your hand? It's time to shake off the malaise and step back into reality. You know what helps us do that? The amusing yet slightly monotonous aid of memes. 

As reproductive rights are being stripped from women in Alabama and Missouri, many women are coming out to discuss their experiences with abortion and reproductive health. After reading this Twitter thread from @brownandbella, we are starting to think that we need to talk not only about the right to choose, but about the state of sexual education in the United States. These astounding shows of ignorance are definitely proof that something needs to change. We might be chuckling at some of these tweets, but reality of it all is pretty frickin' dark.

Kinkshaming is pretty frowned upon, but there are some people that take things so far that it's unavoidable. Two days ago, a Twitter account by the name of @learningtosubm1 triggered the social media site with a disconcerting post about getting pregnant. 

After a long year, my husband finally believes I am ready to carry his child in my womb. To feed them with my body. To give him my whole body for his descendants. Im ready to receive his seed, to become fully his. Cant wait to be impregnated <3 to he owned

The overtly submissive and arguably antiquated message quickly went viral, with Twitter favorites such as Brandy Jensen and @leon weighing in with savage burns and desperate disbelief. The shock and horror, and the righteous burns, are incredibly entertaining. While we'd like to believe that this disaster of a tweet is real, scrolling through the account and its wealth of stock photos, it seems like this person is heavily dedicated to the role of a submissive wife. It's gross, but boy do we love to hate-read this sh*t.

Sometimes getting pregnant isn't just about wanting to have kids. These women reveal their extremely strange and sometimes petty reasons for getting pregnant.

These memes aren't for the intellectuals. These memes are for the tired, the weary. The downtrodden and nearly brain dead. These memes are for when you're too tired to go out, too tired to pay attention to the TV. These memes are for when you just need a little treat.
