@Hitchslap1 It’s lonely and hard to find friends you can connect with.

[niarogers @janij44]

@ceraliza I don’t remember feeling relief, but I suppose I did. I was just overwhelmed with love for my baby. That’s really all I remember.

@JoshuaBarzon He was a pretty good pianist and composed a piano concerto. https://t.co/NHWmIRUic3

@HeySilasReed @Be_like_legend Finally someone agrees with me.

@Be_like_legend I’m not neurodivergent but it’s orange and always has been.

@jmasseypoet "unpack" and "bandwidth" are two of my pet peeves. Oh, and "you go, girl" and "you do you."

@JoshuaBarzon I like 2 best, then 4.

My non-political Substack on life as an amateur pianist. I just started it and would love some followers who may be interested in this niche topic.

@JoshuaBarzon He drew me to Christ. After being an atheist for most of my adult life, I surrendered to Christ while listening to one of Keller's sermons on Jesus in the Garden. So I'm eternally grateful for Tim Keller, despite any disagreements I may have had with his teachings since.

I am 45 and when I look back on my experiences as a young woman I rarely had boomer women, even close mentors, recommend children or family formation. The propaganda was that having a baby too young would ruin young women and prevent them from having a “meaningful career”. There was never any discussion of how meaningful and important a role motherhood is.

[Dr Dani Sulikowski 🎗️ @DrDaniS]

Feminists love to rave on about how "society" teaches women this or that.

Society teaches women to be passive. Society teaches women not to be leaders.

But what is the only consistent, coherent message that all women recall being taught when they were young? Not to become a mother.

Don't get pregnant. Don't have a baby.
It will ruin your career. It will destroy your life.

Feminists have dominated the mainstream social narrative for the last umpteen decades. And this is the most memorable, widely recalled message they shared.

The result?
Millions of women who never became mothers.

Funny how the people who claim to have the interests of women at the centre of everything, never complain about this particular social message.

[niarogers @janij44]

@abbythelibb_ Yeah, I didn't think I wanted kids then realized at 40 I did, so I had one then got too old to have anymore and my husband didn't want to adopt or foster. I love my daughter more than anything but I regret being a dumbass for the majority of my childbearing years.

@roddreher Sorry about your friend's wife's issue. I am on HRT (estrogen and progesterone only) and it has vastly improved my life since hitting perimenopause. No testosterone, though—I don't think that is standard for HRT.

[niarogers @janij44]

@Markins Yes. All positive!

MY HOUSE FELT CLUTTERED FOR MONTHS.
So I showed Claude photos of every room.
48 hours later — neat space, calm mind.
No new furniture. No decorator. Just 7 prompts that completely transformed my space:
