Fuck-and I can’t overstate this enough-the mother fucking patriarchy.

Fuck it.

I hope E. Jean Carrol has an exit strategy. And Liz Cheney. And countless other women and men who have spoken up and tried to warn people. Bet they’re all feeling existential dread far worse than I am this morning.

@MidnightRider I expect nothing. I hope and pray daily for a sinkhole or a rogue meteor or a cardiac event.

I spent Monday night, all of Tuesday, and this morning having a miscarriage after bitterly telling my doctor I guess the timing was good for me to have to lose my pregnancy because depending how Tuesday went, it might be the last time this could safely happen. Not hyperbole. A quick risk-benefit analysis says our efforts to conceive either naturally or through IVF are done.

Fuck morals & ideals, Joe. These next few months need to be figuring out how to flex that presidential immunity for official acts to shield us from some of the worst parts of projects 2025 that will be upon us soon.

Hubs told 7yo, “mommy is feeling sick and needs rest,” when she came home from school today. She went up to her room, across the hall from ours, changed her clothes and sneaked into my bedroom, tucked her stuffed fox into my arms and sang me the Love You Forever song.

And my hormone ravaged soul hasn’t recovered since. Can’t stop crying. 😭

In the thick of it now. Every part of me hurts. 💔

Today I go into the Dr.’s office to get the mifepristone I need to finally begin expelling the wanted-pregnancy that we learned was non-viable 18 days ago. 18 days of my body still believing it’s pregnant while my heart aches. With today being the final day before the election, it’s not lost on me that this timing is fortuitous, despite the heartbreak. This could be the last time I could get this medication I need to treat a miscarriage if everything goes upside-down.

@amarand I have a paperwhite signature because my oasis started draining so I traded in. I miss the Oasis’s page turn buttons very much, but no other complaints for the paperwhite. I’ve been horribly tempted by the scribe though, ngl.

@amarand oh man. I am a Kindle enthusiast and I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of color e-ink. So I’m thinking I ought to wait it out a while longer.

@KGinKS 🥹 thank you.

@Lulz4l1f3 honestly, I know that it is. And it’s probably more of all parties involved trying to figure out what we could possibly have to say to each other or what won’t sound weird or what we won’t be judged for saying or doing.

Add to that that just connecting with other parents in general is very rare these days… out of the entire class being invited to this boys party, two of his classmates showed up.

Really, with Monday approaching and all the anxiety and sickness over that, I should really be feeling less rejected by the other Hindu moms (and there are a lot) in my daughter’s class… but here I am in my feelings over it. I get that I’m married into it and that’s different. But our kids love each other and want to hang out.

I mean, speaking with a healthy amount of bias, I am a fucking delight.

Taking kiddo to a fellow first grader’s birthday party today at a bouncy house party center. I feel such immense pressure to “look nice” instead of just embracing the weary vibes I project far more comfortably.

Props to the hubby who intercepted the kiddo who can never seem to sleep in when mom gets a day off. If it weren’t for this contemptible cold, I might have made it to 8:00am. Alas, a valiant effort made by all.

@MovieNights no need to apologize. Get well soon!
