I’ve got no words for how good this is, yet also how saddening. I think you’ve captured that internal struggle so beautifully, especially in today’s political and social landscape

Perfect amount of personal touch and cunning cut to the core of the problem. Thank you for distilling so much of this.

I often also grapple with the thought that motherhood is selfish, at this point, if the result is bringing a child into… all of this. Who is it really for? Not them, certainly.

I come back to the supreme need to kill the nuclear family. To make networks of mothers and rely on mutual aid. I still harbor my dream of motherhood, just think it will look awfully different than what I’ve seen before. If I have it my way, my children will have many parents, not just Mom and Dad ❤️ here’s to hoping!
