I care about being correct about things. It matters to me. You can then decide, given the correct information, that the right thing to do is what you were saying

Hey, everyone. Let's share Rose's website as far and often as possible. Her name was scrubbed from NASA's website thanks to orders to erase women in STEM. Rose fought through poverty and homelessness, and every time I look at the moon, I think of her.

so a thing that I often did before I had too many followers for it to be comfortable was get drunk on Tuesday nights (it’s our trash tv Tuesday where we drink wine and watch bad reality tv) and talk about how much I love my wife

and you know something, fuck it

I really love my wife

I've talked abt my miscarriage but "miscarriage" is shorthand, bc it was heartbreaking enough w/o getting into details.

My pregnancy had failed, leaving me w/ fetal tissue & no hope. I had a D&C at ~9 wks, w/o which I could've died, leaving my 3yo motherless.

You know so many women w/ this story.
