Ok here’s the thing. This is NOT a village. This is a nuclear family. By being like “we only need each other!” you’re not being cute, you’re enforcing the idea that women shouldn’t need any support outside of their own home, and if they do they’re failing. I hate this.

This is why, last year, I had a weird little section in my campaign’s policy platform where I specified that there is a group out there that does NOT want what everyone else does - a group whose primary political commitment is causing harm and suffering for their own amusement.

You won’t believe how many batteries you’ll need once you have children. For years I used 4 maybe 6 batteries a year and now I’m at Costco buying a pack of AAs every 6 months.

Sometimes I see parents saying stuff like “I don’t allow my children to eat bananas because they have too much sugar” and I just think. How did you arrive here. What made you like this

My kids aren’t iPad kids, they are make a massive mess and chaos everywhere they go kids (the only two options)

Someone said shop local bc otherwise teenagers first jobs will be in an Amazon warehouse instead of an ice cream shack on the beach and now I can't stop thinking about that

Ok, you got me with this one.

ME

Kids are so funny and different. My two-year-old has developed no emotional attachment to any of her toys—to the point where her dad is almost offended that we can seamlessly swap out her teddy bear for a bunny and she’s like “whatever”

Can’t wait for August when I’m going to make an infographic that says “holding space for the mothers of human children who don’t have a dog today.” People would come for my NECK!!!!

People are arguing that you should be able to fit 3 car seats in the back of most cars, which sounds great! But then I’m left wondering: how the F would you be able to reach the center one and strap the kid in? Like, the logistics don’t seem to work?

happy mother's day

Happy Mother’s Day to those who are child-free by choice is WILD

My husband asked my kids to say why I’m a good mom and my 2yo said “you go down the slide” and honestly that might be the nicest thing anyone’s ever said about me. I do go down the slide. 😭

A PLANE?!?!
My dad turned down tickets to a BULLETS game when he was chief of staff of the senate foreign relations committee!
And this guy accepts A PLANE?

Moms are great. Most moms I meet are working so hard with so little acknowledgment. Moms today are expected to do so much more, and are judged for anything and everything. They are blamed for so much while thanked for so little. We love, thank, and respect moms under this roof.

Someone posted that the "it's gonna be May" Justin Timberlake meme had gone out of fashion this year and I just hope all the "happy Mothers day to cat owners and dads and people who dont want kids" memes are next

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

happy mothers day 🪺

Bringing a lot of very nervous “is this how swings work?” energy

The only day of the year I see more dads than moms at the playground is Mother’s Day!

Really enjoyed talking to Katie White about her article on the history of the frame and artists exploring the frame as a creative space open.spotify.com/episode/3Eci...

How the Black Portraiture Boom Went Bust The racial reckoning of 2020 sent prices soaring. Now, no one’s buying.

great art world reporting from @rachelcorbett.bsky.social www.vulture.com/article/art-...

Brooklyn bus stop ads being replaced with guerilla public service announcements.

Nice restaurants love to have a dessert called like “Milk and Cereal” or “Donuts and Coffee” and it’s their little take on what if those things cost nineteen dollars.

every gender transition is a statement in favor of human possibility and freedom and i’m tired of hearing it talked about like it’s some kind of disease

humans are not designed for the amount of feedback being a public figure on social media provides. Whether it's praise or criticism, receiving an avalanche of nonstop attention is profoundly corrosive to your brain.

We talk a lot about social media radicalizing the population but it's been far more efficient at radicalizing public figures.
