Had an actual doctor's appointment today with a doctor who I first encountered on Instagram where she has 700k+ followers. Appointment was helpful and super validating. Sometimes living in the future isn't the worst!

Kansans repeatedly crushing anti-abortion ballot measures

Baby got a W!

Baby's first visit to the voting booth was an attempt to avoid a dark money takeover of our courts on a primary ballot 🫠

It's on me for doing grocery delivery, but this might be the stupidest bulb of fennel I've ever seen

The newborn wants to nurse for 45 minutes every two hours and the 2 year old wants to spend an hour at the dinner table 🫠

I don't hate the song "Celebration" like I know some people do, but it's a strange vibe for waiting in the exam room at the dermatologist

I grew up watching a ton of figure skating and remain very into it as an adult so I obviously have a very distorted perspective but the number of players who don't know who Johnny and Tara are but also don't realize they're really close friends is wild to me.

I started The Traitors this week, what an outstandingly perfect brainless show for postpartum couch rot time

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

so we've had Braxton and Hicks traded on the same day while MLB has looming labor issues

Braxton Garrett goes to Cubs from Marlins

I'm really glad that ESPN got rid of a talented and knowledgeable dude like Ryan Clark so they could pay a sleeveless punter more money so Aaron Rodgers could be on TV complaining about Dr. Fauci. What the absolute fuck is wrong with everyone

Rocky wants a goal tonight 👀

My two year old is the loudest person in the world and acts like he doesn't hear 90% of what we say to him, how do I differentiate between normal toddler nonsense and needing additional hearing screening 🫣

The WNBA product is so, so good. And there are enough people who want to consume it without wanting to embrace that fact that it's a league built by Black and queer athletes. CC gave them a way in that made them feel more comfortable, Cunningham is letting them wave their bigot flag proudly.

I ordered shoes from DSW and they came in a fairly beaten up generic brown box and not the Adidas box, I'm not sure how worried I should be

The "mom hacks" I see for AI are so often things like meal planning or collating all your family's activity schedules. It's basically outsourcing the mental load that assumes every family has a stay at home parent to try to lessen the sense of drowning in thankless administrative work.

Anyway back to my ongoing theory that women use AI to get more done and men use AI to get out of doing more.

Why I am literally paying for Elon Musk and Sam Altman to make bad business decisions? Musk has 52 ongoing federal contracts with the federal government for at least 38 billion dollars…which again, Headstart Funding, 12.35 billlion?

Started serving Bolognese with ditalini when my toddler was very small because it was an easy pasta shape and size for him to pick up. Planning to continue indefinitely because it's the pasta that allows for the most stowaway vegetables.

It's an attack on me personally that the music behind the "Sleepytime" episode of Bluey is the hymn from Jupiter

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

one side has been on a decade-plus crusade to attack trans women through faux outrage over bathrooms and women's sports while the other has exposed this as bigotry through science, gender studies and factual information and anyone believing the former can exist in good faith in 2026 is so unserious

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 6d ago

Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

enough of this shit

It's been so gross here lately that I'm kind of shocked this is still pausa weather

I was one of those assholes who had a pretty easy IUD insertion before I had kids, so I got one today at 6 weeks postpartum and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I barely even noticed it was happening and then the doctor said she was done. Hashtag blessed, etc etc

And none of that matters, because your average Republican can't stop voting for people who do the opposite of all do this.

Jessica Tarlov@jessicatarlov.bsky.social · last wk.

Your average Republican is pro-IVF, skeptical of six week heartbeat bills, against deporting productive, law-abiding immigrants, and for gay marriage.

Inevitable!
