I was part of a friend group of four girls in high school. Three of us have no kids and one of us has 8. Voila!

Unless Elon’s type of interventionist eugenics wins out over Vance’s?

So please consider this our ode to the DHS, which was, to paraphrase Churchill, the absolute worst source of data -- except for all the others

A particular joy for me was moving beyond the tired label of "while in need" for people discontinuing contraception, and instead applying a reproductive autonomy framework to understand why people might want to start and stop different methods across the reproductive life course.

In this analysis, we look at contraceptive use dynamics across 55 countries using DHS data.
We pay special attention to young people and the way that their contraceptive use patterns differ from those of older women.
Use, discontinuation, and method mix all really differ!

@lesja.bsky.social and I are writing something together on this so stay tuned for some more coherent thoughts
But the main point is that understanding stratified reproduction is the key to making sense of & contesting both anti- and pronatalist ideologies.
And reproductive autonomy now & forever!

You're each discussing a different article.
One is from the New York Times in 2019 entitled "The End of Babies" and the other is from the New Yorker in 2025 entitled "The End of Children."
Easy to confuse them!

Even at our R1, I still really appreciate seeing that candidates have thought a bit about fit, FWIW

We got a Tablo for this because we like watching Jeopardy with dinner but it airs at 4:30pm here. Tablo lets you capture over-the-air shows on a hard drive for streaming later
Some up-front costs for purchase and set-up, but it works like a charm and totally solved this for us
