@Lincoln_VB Hot take: I wish they would just get rid of Player of the Week and change it to Offensive Player of the Week (since that’s who it goes to more often than not anyways)
The people who promised to 'Make America Healthy Again' have given America:
The worst measles outbreak since 1991
The worst screwworm outbreak in 60 years
The worst cyclosporiasis outbreak in years
@lmbunl I used to like this holiday before I bought a house here - now I’m thinking about where I should travel next year to get away from the warzone
@Lincoln_VB The hill I will die on is that I think a healthy Bergen Reilly changes the outcome of that game - still gutted that it had to end like that for them.
Women have been doing this since time immemorial. They have raised children they loved without always enjoying the work, sacrificed autonomy, swallowed resentment, and still showed up. And when women dared to say they wanted something other than marriage and children, they were vilified as selfish, unnatural, or broken.
Now that men are finally doing equal childcare, they’re encountering the same truth women have always lived with, that love does not guarantee enjoyment. Parenting is work. Often boring, repetitive, and draining. That has never been a moral failure. It was only framed as one when women said it out loud.
If a man chooses to have children, he is obligated to be an equal parent, whether or not it delights him. He shouldn’t see that as cruelty, it’s actually his responsibility.
Fathers feeling this discomfort aren’t monsters. They’re late to an experience women have been trying to name for centuries.
Maybe now they’ll finally hear what mothers have been saying all along.
Woman on X: “I am struggling with being the only person my baby wants during a sleep regression”
X: “U HATE YOUR BABY U TERRIBLE HUMAN U SHOULD DIE”
Man on X: “I literally hate my child”
X: “Aw, parenting is tough! You’re doing great!”
@HuskerNation8@mitchsherman It doesn’t help that Nebraska was dealing with illness and injury. I think a healthy setter (and potentially a healthy Andi if what I heard was right) would’ve made a huge difference.
@HuskerVB@WoodhouseAuto Such a special game! Andi getting the record, Maisie getting the nod at libero, and capping off an undefeated regular season while playing so much of the roster ❤️🥹 # GBR
