I see you. I’m much luckier than most, and I still have a hard time getting out there. It’s difficult, exhausting, draining, expensive, risky work.

Wherever you stand on the council’s effectiveness, the timing of this couldn’t be worse. It will look to everyone like we’re leaving because they were mean to us about legitimately horrible shit we are doing. And to be fair, that IS probably why Trump is leaving, even if he tries to claim it was all history and “a…

Well, a lot of people are doing that work. But obviously in real life it’s more complicated than that. Most Americans live relatively hand-to-mouth. They don’t have job security and they just literally don’t have time to follow the news and demonstrate while also managing to keep up on all the bills and make sure the…

You know, I try to be a good person, try to be sensitive to the needs of others around me, trying to make the world a better place, but these people! They are so evil and callous, and uncaring, how can my little bit help? I’m so far away from the southern border. I don’t know what to do to help.

*scribbles notes furiously*

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. It’ll be at least a decade after Trump leaves office before we even get back to where we were with Obama (which was not great but its at least a reference point). And thats if we don’t backslide again during that period. It’ll be even longer before we make any real actual…

Here’s a list of how you can turn justified outrage into help TODAY.

My husband just spoke to his old “friend” who works at one of the major family crossing points in south Texas. He was very cagey on the phone and even asked my husband if he was taping him. He tried to blow my husband off and when pressed about separating children he said “What am I supposed to do? The union said…

HOW YOU CAN HELP.

I have just written a post about this.

This is hands down the most disgusting moment of his term. This is absolutely disgraceful and shocking that any American would do this to children. On our soil. U.S. soil. And I see his robot wife spewed out some one line bullshit about him handling it gently. You haven’t done shit on your part his entire term so keep…

There is NOTHING I would look forward to more at my 9 month mark than pouring hot wax on my vajayjay and ripping hair out with it, lemme tell ya.

I find that really reductive. My daughter was born via surrogate, and our agreement from the moment we met was her body and her health was the priority until there was an actual living baby. Making surrogate parents out to all be like the selfish ungrateful beasts you see on TV is not helpful to decent, regular people…

Those epidurals can be quite the mind-erasers, too. My wife says that our deliveries started to become blurs in her memory starting right after the shot. Pretty sure I could have brought in a whole film crew while she was doped up and she’d have just let it shuffle in with the other chaos that was happening at the…

So how do you now say you didn’t know you were being filmed? Oh I don’t know jackass, I mean Jeff - maybe she was giving birth at the time??

Also it feels good <3

After three children, I can attest that skin to skin contact with your newborn does foster a great bond with your children. It also is the first test of fatherhood - not dropping your child when they grab a fistful of chest hair and yank it out.

As a Mexican Jew, this fills me with such unspeakable horror.
