I went to a woman’s funeral. Her husband gave a eulogy and spoke mostly about himself. I mean he started from his birth and spent a significant amount of time explaining his life and career before he met her. Her pastor said she was the kindest, most helpful person he’d ever met.

So when your therapist asks you why people start families and women stick around and do the baby thing multiple times, apparently the answer is not “fuck the patriarchy”, but rather : oxytocin.

Turns out, my inability to cope with motherhood and bond with my kids is a direct consequence of my mother not hugging me enough as a child, nor wanting to spend time with me as an adult

Googling job vacancies as I’m waiting to get my yearly evaluation tells you how done I am with work.

“Aww you’re always getting me flowers, love you so much” I said to my 4yr old as I tossed the 10th leaf she gave me on the floor of my car. #momlife

In the years after the 1967 Six Day War, the Israeli army arrested/harassed anyone displaying the Palestinian flag's colors in Gaza and the West Bank. In response, many Palestinians in the region would carry sliced watermelons in a sign of subversive protest.

If you are a journalist who is silent about this, never talk about press freedom again.

My 4yr old KG1 daughter has online zoom classes while I have to be at work doing the same for other people’s children or she “won’t receive the final report card” 😭

“Daddy’s sister died today” was the start of a conversation about death and grief that I didn’t know if my 4y old was ready for.
But then she hugged him for a very long time and drew him a picture.
