It has been three years since I’ve written a post. Suffice it to say that I fell away from certain things that were important to me while at the same time finding other, new priorities. Anger, frustration, and the current state of affairs here in the US has brought me back. I can’t always be a boots-on-the-ground protestor for women’s rights (and yes, that includes transwomen too). I often feel disheartened by the lack of progress, lets call it “screaming into the void,” made by these protests.
Although there are any number of things that spark my fury and frustration with the current administration, I intend to keep my focus narrow and do what I do best. This next series of posts will focus on pronatalism, because politics invades every aspect of our reproductive and parenting lives. The level of paternalistic control levied by this administration seeps in like tentacles searching for food within the crevices of an undersea coral. In 2025, these tentacles are those of hydra. As individuals we can’t handle all of them at once, but if we tackle them one at a time, we will be successful. Narrowing our focus, being experts in our fields, fighting for one cause, not one hundred, will bring us incrementally to success.
My boots are laced upon my feet, under my desk in my home office. March with me.
