For those not following along on my mommy blahg (I'm posting almost exclusively at arewedoingthisnow), I had a baby. His name is Freddie, heâs 8 days old, and though Iâm exhausted and have an underside full of stitches, I am so goddamn happy.
Hiya new followers! (you should really actually follow arewedoingthisnow)
Got a couple mama followers today ... This is my main tumblr, but I'm mostly over on arewedoingthisnow (my "mom blahg") or laurenmorrill (my author blog ... like YA? Follow that one). I only post my feminist rants here every once in a while :)
It would be really nice if Tumblr would let you swap your main account ... I'd like to comment on other folks as arewedoingthisnow (for parents stuff) or laurenmorrill for YA stuff!
One of the dynamics that doesnât get discussed a lot when it comes to pregnancy is the disparate ways in which men and women experience the process. Understandably, 99 percent of the focus is put on the woman. Itâs her body that is being physically and psychically transformed into a vessel of life, that is suddenly gestating an entirely new human. She is likely experiencing nausea, indigestion, swelling, a sensitivity to smell and other symptoms I decline to detail. In the case of my wife, she was literally glowing. To put it bluntly, the pregnant woman is the show. The man in question is basically support staff. And in our culture, which, for all our talk of enlightenment remains devoutly male-centered, this is a tough gig for a lot of men. Weâre used to feeling that weâre the show â our accomplishments, our ideas, our jokes. We move through the world habituated to that kind of entitlement. Then pregnancy comes along and weâre suddenly confronted by the truth that, in the grand scheme of things, we are not at all the show.

I work at my university's bookstore and every semester one of the professors teaches 'Fight Club' and it's so exciting to see boxes of it come in and rather disappointed to see people return their rented copied or sell them back. Once I returned a copy and the student wrote the synopsis of each chapter under the heading and I freaked out. My manager said it was in otherwise fine condition so we couldn't charge her but what spoilers. How do you feel about your work being taught ?
That fact that âFight Clubâ is being taught seems â to me â to underscore the dearth of novels that explore male issues. The past years have given us so many books, from âThe Color Purpleâ to âThe Joy Luck Clubâ to âHow to Make an American Quilt,â which depict women in groups and relationship, but almost no books depicting social models for men. Thatâs my two cents worth.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL GOOD ONE CHUCK PALAHNIUK
I actually googled the definition of âdearthâ because I thought surely not, and yet there you go: âthe dearth of novels that explore male issues.â
I keep trying to find a way to get my ire up about this but I canât because of the oxygen deprivation to my brain when my blood curdled upon reading that dumbass sentence.
I keep reading this, hoping I'm missing out on some very subtle form of sarcasm or satire... Because if this concluded with a winky face emoji, I'd be all RIGHT ON.
Was going through my husband's old tee shirt box to see if there was something for me to wear (shut up, I'm pregnant), and found this from when he was a member of RAISE at IU and would go educate frat boys and undergrads about consent. I knew I picked a good one.
I wish it were different. I wish that every woman whose actions and worth are parsed and restricted, congratulated and condemned in this country might just once get to wheel aroundâon the committee that doesnât believe their medically corroborated story of assault, or on the protesters who tell them that termination is a sin they will regret, or on the boss who tells them he doesnât believe in their sexual choices, or on the mid-fifties man who congratulates them, or himself, on finding them appealing deep into their dotageâand go black in the eyes and say, âI donât fucking care if you like it.â

Average wait for OB/GYN in Massachusetts is 37 days. PPLM will almost always see you within 3. Make an appt here: http://bit.ly/1niECnk
This is why, when I lived in Boston, the very Planned Parenthood that was the location of the Supreme Court Buffer Zone Case was my Planned Parenthood. They saw me right away, they helped me bridge gap times between insurance plans (when I was waiting for new job insurance to kick in) by providing low cost annual exams and birth control, and they always answered my questions honestly and frankly.Â
And back in Indiana, Planned Parenthood was there for me after an irregular pap smear (indicating abnormal cells that could potentially be cancerous). As a result, I was required to have a pap every 3 months for a year to insure that nothing cancerous was developing, but my insurance ran out during that time. There's no way I could have afforded those pap smears were it not for Planned Parenthood of Indiana in Bloomington.
My jam since elementary school.
The strawberry shortcake ones have always been my favorite ... and were a serious first trimester craving

The buffer zone is unconstitutional.
People with law backgrounds who know what they're talking about (like you, megwhat!) ... why is a buffer zone unconstitutional but a free speech zone isn't?
Lululemon has introduced an item called the ârunsie,â which is a cutesy way of combining the words ârunâ and âonesie.â Unfortunately what they should have called it was a âcamel towedgie,â which is a cutesy way of combining the two things that you will get when you wear it.Â
For $100, you too can get completely naked in public restrooms every time you have to pee.

I know putting vintage globes in your kidâs room is so very very, but your kid is never going to learn geography. Heâs going to be the one in the first grade asking his teacher about the USSR.
This conversation brought to you by the fact that the Rand McNally world map I bought for the babyâs room is already out of date (thanks, Russia)

Hey kid. Youâre at an age where Iâm pretty sure youâre about to have sex soon, or actually, you might even already be having it and youâre just *that* good at keeping it from me. I donât really fret over that because I trust you. And because I trust myself and the job Iâve done as yourâŠ
That said, Pescaâs editorializing on The Gist is usually modest in scope, and confined to what he calls âearned opinions,â a term borrowed from NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik. âIf you have reported things out, and if you are really informed on this, you know, you could certainly give what would be called an opinion, but itâs an earned opinion,â Pesca defined it. Earned opinions stand in contrast to what Iâll call âasshole opinions,â not only because they are so often voiced by people to whom that adjective readily applies, but also because they are, like assholes, something that everybody has. Ann Coulterâs asshole opinion is no more valuable than the next personâs; therefore, there is rarely a legitimate reason to put her on TV.
Pesca â and his opinions â find forum in Slate podcast | Current.org My husband's piece for The Current, on host objectivity in public radio, is on the whole pretty great. But the last line of this quote? Yeah, that's magic.
It's a boy! Excited to contribute to the population of good, empathetic, feminist minded dudes. Because this kid is going to grow up understanding the patriarchy, dammit.
