love the pacing of this essay so much. everyone should read it, i felt grateful that editing it meant reading it a number of times.

the best thing about SLM honestly is that our queue is so diverse in every way i can imagine, aesthetically and in terms of the experiences the writers bring. that is the legacy of a decade of diversity in our readers and editors, of paying contributors, and of having thoughtful communication.

did my last second parent adoption experience today for our fourth kid.
it’s been weird each time but today was a level up in weirdness bc my wife was adopting her biological child (i carried and in our state have auto parentage, she does not.) the judge said “i’m sorry you had to come here today.”

without wading into the content of the current Trans Discourse essay, i just want to say i think academics writing for a general audience should actually quote/cite/gesture towards the things they’re arguing with/against so ppl from outside their discipline can do further thinking and reading.

I honestly think what these freaks truly get off on is watching women toil (and quite literally labor) endlessly for them in intimate proximity. Saying that as someone who has four children, more than any of my friends.
