My old plates fills me with emotions for California. Once shiny and beautiful, now covered in dead bugs.

My daughter has been going through my old clothes lately and wearing them like she discovered some secret vintage closet.

The other day we went to my mom’s house for a family get together, and I was sitting next to her looking at the jeans she had on. They looked familiar, so I looked a little closer.

They had the elastic belly band.

This child was sitting there in my Old Navy maternity jeans and had absolutely no idea.

We both started laughing because to her they were just “mom’s old jeans,” but I was immediately back in 2014, pregnant, uncomfortable, and probably wearing those same jeans with a giant shirt and flip flops.

She thought she was giving vintage.

She was giving second trimester.

Your average 83-year old dinosaur hunter after a day in the Montana badlands. Not much found today but a nice hike. Had better luck yesterday with an interesting find. Not sure what it is yet. We shall see!

@realMaalouf The Pope isn’t perfect, but he has not remained silent on the atrocities in Africa.

@iamgnurr I was thinking that same thing, via Escobar.

The USA is playing Turkey in the World Cup.
T-U-R-K-E-Y -- that's the team we're playing.
Don't come at me with your "Türkiye" bulllshit.
We are Americans, and we call it TURKEY.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Pure joy for this child’s miraculous survival amidst the vast, incomprehensible death and destruction all around him. 🙏🏼

I wasn’t sure whether I’d be able to breastfeed because I have a liver condition and need daily steroid medication.

After discussions with my midwife and obstetrician, it was agreed that I could.

But when my daughter was born 11 weeks early and admitted to neonatal intensive care, I couldn’t breastfeed her directly. I expressed milk instead.

There were careful discussions about whether my milk was suitable for her and whether any surplus could safely be donated to other premature babies.

That’s how seriously infant feeding is normally treated: careful assessment, evidence and the baby’s welfare coming first.

Yet we’re now expected to applaud giving healthy men drugs to produce a few drops of milk-like secretion and treat it as equivalent to breastfeeding.

And this is before we even address the fact that many people would find the idea of a man wanting to breastfeed a baby deeply unsettling - and believe it raises legitimate safeguarding questions.

When did protecting adult feelings become more important than asking sensible questions about what’s in a baby’s best interests?

@LibertyJen Too long we’ve made excuses, let it slide, said “that’s too harsh”…

This is why a rich DEI exec had no shame to trash her supposedly beloved city and steal from it.

This is the way for sure.

@JHolmsted Beautiful, as always. Happy Anniversary to you both!

Dear Chick in my DMs asking if I know how bad I am at Twitter/X: I don't, so I'm going to need you to write up a detailed summary complete with examples, dates and explanations, then - and this is the most important part, I'm going to need you to shove it up your witless arse.
