@maureenmce Absolutely! Your words really encapsulate 💯 the double standards on becoming a parent and all the things that feel too ridiculous to be true!

“Obviously, you should have figured it all out in advance, like how giving birth would go and any complications you’d have…” + also any long term conditions you’d develop derivative of pregnancy 😅😬 Laughing at this #MotherDay piece by @maureenmce

"Stop being an annoying helicopter parent, selfishly denying your children freedom and fun, but also, if you are ever even eighteen inches away from your kid for a fraction of a second, I will take a photo to shame you on social media and also call 911."

Yay, congrats @GraceLP ! Can’t wait to read it.

Thank you @AP @ttangAP for this @lunchboxmoments shout out - though, of course, it enrages me this sort of thing still happens.

‘Go back to the country you came from you dog-eating mother-effer,’
For my @AP story, I spoke with restaurant owner David Rasavong about how a stereotype nearly took away his livelihood. What is its origin and how have others tried to push back on it?

@jadz Wow, very well deserved! I’m just glad “team experimental carrier bag” is in 🔥

[Diann Leo-Omine ((lee-oh ohh-mee-nay)) @sweetleoomine]

@thesusanito That’s such a shame! Well, I hope this inspires people 😂

[Diann Leo-Omine ((lee-oh ohh-mee-nay)) @sweetleoomine]

[Diann Leo-Omine ((lee-oh ohh-mee-nay)) @sweetleoomine]

@GraceLP @sfgrotto @ingrid_rojas_c I missed tuning in today but I still remember a gem @ingrid_rojas_c said from last year’s #Rootedandwritten - pardon the bad paraphrasing but something like “sometimes [you] have to live out part of the story” for memoir 😭🤯

[Diann Leo-Omine ((lee-oh ohh-mee-nay)) @sweetleoomine]

@linakatrin It was a beautiful reading, Elina!! Looking forward to the rest of your poems!

@GraceLP Hope you feel better! I really loved your reading - I ended up making it and meant to introduce myself after but I also know how it feels to talk to people when you’re sick 🫠😅

[Diann Leo-Omine ((lee-oh ohh-mee-nay)) @sweetleoomine]

First time at @Litquake @litcrawl ! My social energy comes and goes in waves these days (as life goes with a toddler) but got to hear lots of words this weekend. Also: got to celebrate my friend’s fine graphic design work on the poster 😎

[Diann Leo-Omine ((lee-oh ohh-mee-nay)) @sweetleoomine]

@GraceLP @Litquake @litcrawl We may have to make it a literal crawl 😆

[Diann Leo-Omine ((lee-oh ohh-mee-nay)) @sweetleoomine]

Exciting! My friend and I are currently low-key coin flipping which @Litquake @litcrawl events to attend (the truly first world problem of too many good #writing events in one night)…I *confess* this is *complicated*

[Diann Leo-Omine ((lee-oh ohh-mee-nay)) @sweetleoomine]

“Decisions were made for her. Decisions were made around her body.” Such evocative, chilling, beautiful words 💔🌊

Looking forward to tuning in to this conversation, especially on a (weird? normal?) week where I can’t even take my kid to the playground without someone asking me/us “what are you” 🤷🏻‍♀️ microaggressions that affect my writing, of course
