What is Comrade Mommy?
I decided to start something that allowed us to explore our political imaginations beyond hypercapitalist, sexist, racist, and consumer-driven parent and child focused media. Leftist families exist. This is a space for us.

Really interesting discussion here by @AyeshaASiddiqi of the film Lamb and matters of gender, labor, and parenthood:

It’s not a coincidence that Trad is being pushed at a time when men perceive women & their labor to be less available to them; either through colleagues who won’t tolerate sexual harassment or romantic partners who won’t tolerate unfulfilling partnerships https://t.co/pAZbu2vg3t

BREAKING: The Biden admin will now reject all Haitian, Cuban and Nicaraguan asylum seekers who cross illegally, and cap entry from those places and Venezuela at a total 30,000/month.

Biden has deported ~40,000 people to Haiti, amid humanitarian crisis, cholera and gang violence.

@LeftPOC @ComradeMommy This episode was so interesting. Thank you!

[Left POCket Project @LeftPOC]

New Episode!
This one is a @comrademommy installment in which I discuss the "sad beige" trend and other aesthetic choices in childrearing that carry thinly-veiled messages of classism, moralism, and misogyny.

Great thread:

[Jenn | Reappropriate @reappropriate]

So I actually want to jump in on this as someone who has spent time thinking about parenting and scholarship around parenting. A lot of what we conventionally think about as “good parenting” actually exists to reinforce racist tropes about WHO we imagine are good parents.
