I dreamed I was an incubus running an island resort that catered to demons and raising my succubus daughter until she was strong enough to fed on her own.

While he is rightfully remembered for his powerful writing about what he witnessed during the Holocaust, I think it’s important to also remember that he had a profound blind spot when it came to recognizing the suffering and oppression of Palestinians.

I will never forget this moment, when Mr. Wiesel implored the President of the United States to do the right thing:

There is big difference between indirectly causing someone to commit suicide because you left them and literally encouraging someone to kill themselves and you know that. The situation is not remotely comparable. Just because this is Jezebel doesn’t mean you have to twist this into a men vs women thing.

She should not have been charged with murder, but that doesn’t mean he should have been, either.

Do you ever wake up and think, “Maybe I won’t troll a post about four dead children?”

Our County Department of Community Mental Health recently put out a call in my daughter’s school newsletter for volunteers to provide respite foster care for families that are overwhelmed, maybe because one of their children has a developmental delay, for example. Usually, the caregiver watches the kids for a few days…

Not at all to imply that it’s a matter of such a simple solution to a sad and complex problem with multiple causes, but please do support parents in your community.

It’s hard. Really fucking hard. I had PPD with my oldest and there’s so much shame associated. Now I have two kids and its fucking draining and exhausting. All give, all the time. And confessing that you’re not enjoying it or that you desperately need help is often met with extreme judgement or trite comments like…

As a person who suffered from postpartum depression stories like this always bring up a lot of feelings. Of course I know there's a chance this wasn't it but the reaction to these stories always reminds me of the fear I had to speak up about my illness.

prayers because at this point in time this community needs exactly that, we need prayer

I feel like mentioning that she was the mother of the slain children is a pretty vital piece of information here

Let us know when you get your prize in the mail for being so, so righteous on a post about four dead children.

I feel like clarifying that it was the MOTHER as opposed to a STRANGER who killed the children takes it to a new level of awful and is absolutely pertinent to the story.

Absolutely, I’m assuming the seven-year-old wouldn’t be with his father right now if she had access to a firearm.

“Lady stabs four children to death; officials speculate that it may have something to do with the fact that they were related to her.”

Five kids under seven? Am I te only one reminded of Andrea Yates?

This is terrible. Those poor babies. And the father and 7 year old who got away? This is going to be just horrible for them.

This is too overwhelming. I don’t know how the father and surviving child cope with this, but I hope they somehow find a way.

You are feeling salty today?
