The answer to this question is that we don't know for sure, because there aren't enough records to tell exactly what the population average was.

However, what we *can* tell you, from a primary source of the extensive diaries of Martha Ballard, a midwife in rural Maine between 1785 and 1812, among her patients 38% of them had conceived before getting married.

Hey #ttrpg friends, a reminder that it is VERY WORTH YOUR WHILE to submit info about your actual play podcasts to @[email protected]’s database. Not only is it the best tool we can point to in order to help matchmake listeners to shows, it’s a great dataset folks like me can study.

People don't understand how hope works. It doesn't come from downplaying scary truths or from false optimism. Everyone sees through that. Instead, it comes from hard work, from solidarity, from courage. Hope comes from joining together and doing something. Hope comes from action.

Big fan of my fellow grad students who today, in a focus group for the housing study the university is shelling out for external consultants to run, coordinated seamlessly with me to introduce the CHALT issue by name as something affecting our desire to stay in the community and quickly provide context and links to sites including @triangleblogblog. With no advance planning or coordination! People I don’t even know! Simply fellow workers suffering from the housing here 🥲

There is a tiny group of 4-5 people in Chapel Hill who send dozens and dozens and dozens of emails to town staff, requesting studies and more public input and meetings and delays. How much does it cost? https://triangleblogblog.com/2023/01/11/council-is-going-to-spend-66k-to-do-what-the-blog-blog-already-did-for-free/
Council is going to spend $66k to do what the Blog Blog already did for free - Triangle Blog Blog

On tonight’s Chapel Hill Town Council agenda is an exciting opportunity for the town to spend $66,000 in taxpayer money to figure out how different types of land use impact the town’s finances. I wish I had known this before the Blog Blog  completed such analyses for the low cost of free. We found that […]
