What if you went an entire year without criticising your body or wanting to change it in any way? I wrote about resolutions, TikTok surgery trends and why you should aim for a "new year, same old body"!! newstatesman.com/comment/2023/0

I read this in the pediatrician's office after she basically told us to hunker down for the winter. I spent my first parental leave in community. This time we're often alone. In addition to these viruses affecting our health and our ability to work, it's all pretty LONELY.

Absolutely adoring "Fleischman Is in Trouble." This scene made me cry, along with when Toby asked Rachel, "Who wouldn't love you?"

While we were just trying to get some driving roll, the kids (whom I love) just started singing Fight Song since it played in so many scenes. I started sobbing in the van and we decided to use it. I love that scene, a rare unscripted one in this show.

My 4 yo got pneumonia. When I tried to fill her prescription, the pharmacist said, "I'm not seeing an antibiotic within 50 miles. It will be interesting to see what the doctor’s office comes up with.” I told him 'interesting' wasn't the word I'd use. homeculture.substack.com/p/pneumonia-in

Today
@NPR
is launching a series called Days & Weeks - personal stories of how new abortion restrictions have changed people's lives. The first story is about how NC's 20-week abortion limit left one couple with only days to make an enormous decision:
npr.org
At 18 weeks pregnant, she faced an immense decision with just days to make it
About halfway into her pregnancy, Karla found out her fetus had a severe genetic anomaly. As she grappled with an uncertain prognosis, she was up against North Carolina's 20-week abortion limit.

Less than 2 percent of sperm donors in America are Black, according to a Washington Post analysis. For the last 11 months I’ve investigated how sperm banks have failed Black women and lead them to make painful choices to become moms.
washingtonpost.com
America has a Black sperm donor shortage. Black women are paying the price.
The shortage of Black donors is forcing Black women to make an agonizing choice: Choose a donor of another race or buy sperm from unregulated online groups.
