The edgy “alpha / lone wolf“ types always forget that it‘s our ability to support and care for each other that enabled humans to survive this long as a species.

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

YES! AURORA!

We are adopting an Avivo family for the holidays but they still have a lot of families who need a match, times are hard, let’s take care of each other

me: I can't write me: ok I'll write something else to distract me from the thing I can't write me: great. now I can't write two different pieces. me: maybe I'll start this other thing me: great. just great.

If you are changing your plans and staying home today (totally valid), one alternative is making a donation to a nonprofit that defends one of the many, many groups and causes targeted by the Trump administration.
