a Catholic priest leading a Eucharistic procession to the ICE detention facility and getting turned away... and very publicly calling that out... this, my brother in Christ, is exactly what the church should be doing. Well done.

Profoundly postpartum update: the child has been sleeping for six hours (and counting!). Am I sleeping in glee? No, body is locked into sleep deprivation mode with a death grip.

Profoundly postpartum update: Went for a blood test as part of milk donation screening. The best phlebotomist at the clinic doesn’t even look, but tosses a needle in like sanguine darts. Love her.

I've said it before & I'll say it again: actually understanding what's happening is a survival skill in the 21st Century.

Also a survival skill: holding that knowledge without being defeated by it, such that you can still function and move forward, doing good things.
