Great piece about the multitasking women and manchild man at the giants game. labeling her as Mom of the Year only normalizes this crap. Should’ve said “Worse Dad of the Year”. oliviahowell.substack.com/p/wtf-is-hap...

THREAD: A couple of thoughts on Natalie Harp. First, I'm so glad that people on our side are concerned about her and her mental health. It's because we have hearts and empathy and we aren't sociopaths. We're good people, and I love that about us. But I think we are also right to be angry. 1/

GREAT article! “When single mothers recognize that we are really matriarchs, we create a positive identity that positions us as societal architects rather than social failures. We are claiming that our homes are built around us and our children, not the absence of a man.”

Excellent piece by @formerantivax.bsky.social I experienced the same untruths coupled with religious gaslighting that pulled me in to the antivax movement of the 70’s. Got out, but it helped me understand and navigate the same issues as a clinician with my patients. It’s complicated & dangerous

One of the Dem weaknesses is that we refuse to attack the MAGA base. Meanwhile they attack Dems as inherently evil people who might be demonic and whatever their corrupt politician is doing “Dems are worse”
