I can’t tell you how much peace this gives me, & how much it eases the guilt of feeling like nothing I do— nothing I’ve ever done— was enough. It also helps me to remember there are many different ways to be an activist. I think the trick is finding YOUR way, & then doing it with your whole heart.

I took the kids to Scienceworks and was told I’d *HAVE TO* nurse the baby during the planetarium show.
The 18mo baby.
Who has been fully weaned for 3 months.
Because I’m heavily pregnant and not producing milk anymore.
WHAT?!

I’m at the stage of pregnancy where people start saying things like “sleep now while you still can!”
and it’s always said by someone who has no idea what it feels like to try to sleep with a compressed diaphragm and bladder and pain in every limb.
Usually a man.
