I see the NRA has crisis actors ready to deploy.

I was in high school during Colombine, and I remember everyone being a little more vigilant and a little more anxious about their fellow students, at least for a time. Eventually it faded away and something approaching normalcy started returning... then 9/11... then a million more school shootings.

I remember staying up all night watching the news coverage of Princess Diana’s death with Lil Tooty as awake and wide eyed as if I’d breastfed him pure caffeine. I also remember falling asleep while driving and being seriously and scarily out of it from sleep deprivation. I couldn’t even sleep during the day since we…

The Wonder Weeks book literally saved me. Out of all the books I read (like, way way way too many), this is the only one I give to people. Every time I reached a point where I was like “what the fuck happened to my baby? Who is this monster?” I would look at the app and book and see that she was starting a leap. It…

After Sandy Hook, I lost all faith that it’s ever going to get better. The fucking fanatical second amendment nutjobs and right on the whole shrugged their collective shoulders and said, “Eh, I value guns more than human lives.”

I think to take your notion a step further, babies don’t like to be put to sleep on their backs, and I think most don’t like to be away from a warm body and an accessible boob. Biologically it makes sense that they would want to be as close to their food and protection source as possible. I could also see how being…

Everytime this happens I think of 16 year old me watching the kids walking out of Columbine. I am 35 years old now. Its been almost 20 years. That’s longer than these kids have been alive. And all they have ever known is that high school is somewhere where you can get killed. Its just all depressing as fuck, and NO…

Thode first few months are the worst. Even worse are the parents who somehow won the lottery and their kids magically started sleeping through the night super early. “Oh my baby sleeps 13 hours every night at 3 months? What are you doing at home?” AHHHHH SHOVE IT

Kid Electron didn’t sleep for the first two years. For the first year, she had to be held in an upright position. After her first birthday, she would deign to be laid down, but I had to be next to her, and she was up every 90 minutes. The sleep deprivation and PPD broke me. There are so many sleep books on my kindle…

As a dad of three, I can offer the only advice you need to know: Everyone else’s advice is wrong when applied to your baby.

When was the last time we had a school shooting and someone even muttered “Things are looking good”?

Early reports not looking good? No shit, fuckface.

Thank you. This just turned me white as a sheet.

And first he was mocking about being president and here we are.

My only solace is that he’ll be dead soon. I think the average lifespan of a male in the U.S. is about 78? I believe he’s 71? Maybe being president will shorten that due to stress levels.

Y’all, he’s not fucking joking...

A couple of years ago, the NYT interviewed some moms about their Mother’s Day experiences. One woman said her family gave her the day off. (No, really.) At the end of the day, she went into the garage to find all the dirty laundry her family said they were going to “take care” of that day.

Anyone here seen Tully?

I shocked my parents by informing them that my kid’s daycare tuition cost more than the university tuition they paid for me 15 years ago. They were also shocked at how much gestating and delivering the kid cost in the first place. That’s such a huge problem right now, the people making the policies have no frigging…
