Since I have defended and supported the WaPo in the months since the election and the infamous pulled endorsement, I feel obliged to say: this is very, very bad. A dear friend at a Post vet says it's the worst thing to happen to the Post in its long history, and I can't argue.

Two texts I read in February reminded me to make space and time to check in on how I'm feeling: Rachel Yoder's Nightbitch and Etaf Rum's Evil Eye. Big takeaway: I can love my children infinitely and still acknowledge that this motherhood shit is hard. @rachelyoder.bsky.social

If you got married and changed your name, you may not be able to register to vote if the SAVE Act passes. This law will impact millions of married women, as well as trans folks. This is not a joke, call your Congresspeople.
