Great piece about the multitasking women and manchild man at the giants game. labeling her as Mom of the Year only normalizes this crap. Should’ve said “Worse Dad of the Year”. oliviahowell.substack.com/p/wtf-is-hap...

He fucked it up so badly they had to explain it with crayons.

Trump looks the same.

M. Scott Peck, in his book People of the Lie, contended that evil was not in our prisons but was singing in the church choir. Truth.

This isn’t surprising to me but it’s important to consider in the history of anyone with newly diagnosed or accelerated auto immune stuff.

Oh my. This is the best. ❤️

Food influencer and philanthropist Keith Lee partnered with the Salvation Army and the city of Gary for a large-scale relief effort in northwest Indiana, where residents have been without power for two weeks following severe weather.

Dang.

Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Fund: “Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule. Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it.”

This helps. But still. annepmitchell.substack.com/p/do-not-fre...

How….*HOW* did the marketing team sit around a table and all say “Yes! This is it! Great work everybody”.

Sooooo many people don’t even know this is happening. WTF?!

THREAD: A couple of thoughts on Natalie Harp. First, I'm so glad that people on our side are concerned about her and her mental health. It's because we have hearts and empathy and we aren't sociopaths. We're good people, and I love that about us. But I think we are also right to be angry. 1/

GREAT article! “When single mothers recognize that we are really matriarchs, we create a positive identity that positions us as societal architects rather than social failures. We are claiming that our homes are built around us and our children, not the absence of a man.”

Excellent piece by @formerantivax.bsky.social I experienced the same untruths coupled with religious gaslighting that pulled me in to the antivax movement of the 70’s. Got out, but it helped me understand and navigate the same issues as a clinician with my patients. It’s complicated & dangerous

Democrats outvote GOP by 300,000 in Wisconsin primary www.nytimes.com/inte... #wipolitics #wigov

Nice article about Food and Farm in Plover, WI where I live.

One of the Dem weaknesses is that we refuse to attack the MAGA base. Meanwhile they attack Dems as inherently evil people who might be demonic and whatever their corrupt politician is doing “Dems are worse”

David Crowley announces during his Democratic primary victory remarks that he and Francesca Hong will campaign together across Wisconsin as part of a “unity tour.”

Shrinking away from fight, Pausing when duty calls, Indecisive and afraid, Never standing tall. Evading every choice, Letting courage fade, Echoing other voices, Sheltered in the shade, Silent through it all. SPINELESS = Bill Cassidy

Excellent piece “So while much of the recent press around Hong, thanks to both the Tiffany and Crowley campaigns, is focused on taking her past tweets as unchangeable gospel without any nuance…”

Yes! A class act. Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens showing exactly what Democrats need right now… Decency. Unity. Healing.

@eleanorjbader1.bsky.social was a delight to chat with! Great interviewer. Book hits the shelves Sept 17th.

What exactly is “the perfect birth myth?” Authors @avitalnn.bsky.social and @wagedj.bsky.social‬‬‬‬‬ sat down with @msmagazine.com to discuss the realities of modern maternal care. Read the Q&A: https://bit.ly/4fQsAQn 📚💙 #AcademicSky

Here's how to watch tonight's only debate among the Democrats vying to run for Wisconsin governor via @bspears.bsky.social wisconsinexaminer.com/briefs/where...

It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.

Agree and this whole thread really gets into it and explains why it doesn’t matter. Beshear knows what he’s doing.

There’s no such thing as a perfect birth. But the US system sells the myth anyway. @avitalnn.bsky.social and I wrote a book about what that actually costs: financially, in outcomes, and to all of us. Read the starred review from Publishers Weekly www.publishersweekly.com/9798216277262

@avitalnn.bsky.social and I are pretty proud. #maternal health.

Also, the ability to keep the car on the road and not murder the passenger who’s rattling, folding, and unfolding the map is a lost skill.

Great thread “…cooperation and enjoyment”. What a concept. We really destroy that in kids here. Be sure and watch the YouTube video she included…❤️

This is great….

80’s hits by the military band. Yup. It’s Idiocracy.
