My daughter hasn’t seen her biological father since she was 4. She’s 11 now.
Years ago, he asked if I’d agree to terminate his parental rights so he could stop paying child support. I said yes. I figured losing the money was worth protecting her from a lifetime of broken promises and disappointment.
I never lied to her about him though. Whenever she had questions, I answered them honestly in the most age-appropriate way I could.
When she was 4, he reached out saying he had cancer and wanted to see her. I agreed. We planned a day at the park and he asked for two hours with her.
He stayed 20 minutes.
After that, we never heard from him again.
This summer we ran into someone who knows him. They casually mentioned how much my daughter looks like his other kids and explained that he’s married now with a whole family.
The second they said it, my heart sank. I immediately thought about how painful that must feel for her.
I wrapped up the conversation quickly and we got into the car. I looked over expecting sadness, anger… something.
Instead, she smiled.
She said, “Mom… I’m glad he figured out how to be a good dad. That’s really nice for his kids.”
And just like that, an 11-year-old taught me more about forgiveness than most adults ever could.

@Aella_Girl People have a hard time with nuance. Especially on hot topics. I get you. It makes sense actually.

People like to accuse me of being a pedo, but my actual view is the below. It's an unfortunate mental illness and we should do compassionate harm reduction.
But actually violating childrens' consent/bodily autonomy is unequivocally BAD and society needs *more* stigma about this!

I think it's a disorder to have it, but a crime to act upon it

@Alicia_Bittle_ Not being contentious an honest question : with these standards would you say that 99% of dads of the past then were shitty? O dont know many dads in my dad's generation that helped much with childcare.

The difference between moms of 3+ kids who are happy vs moms of 3+ kids who are miserable is the dad.
I have 5 children, aged 6 and under. Absolutely I’m stressed, but I’m not miserable. I’m actually pretty happy on a day to day basis and that’s saying a lot as a postpartum mom.
I married a champion among men. I’m living and loving my life because of him.

Thank you all for the love and congratulations! I shared the proposal video on Instagram for those who want to see it. instagram.com/reel/DYDiIeoxF…

Remarkable: "woke" beliefs by field and gender.
Every single group of professional women is ahead of median.

@MeghanEMurphy Yeah especially in today's "50-50" arrangement

Considering the amount of women I know who’ve gone through divorces and come out the other end, I feel 100% affirmed in my choice to not marry. Not-all-women, of course, but most are happier post-divorce and were unhappy-to-miserable in their marriages. I do understand the purpose of marriage—for the kids—but in general it doesn’t seem to make women happy so much as unhappy, stressed, and often kind of traumatized… I realize this is a gauche thing to say, considering the heterodox pro-marriage wave, but I think it’s generally true… Marriage just isn’t often an enjoyable or beneficial arrangement for many women…

NEW: An urgent phone call from Saudi Crown Prince MBS changed Trump’s decision at the last minute:
President Trump had intended to declare a complete ceasefire and end the fighting against Iran in exchange for the immediate opening of the Strait of Hormuz.
However, a tense phone call with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman dramatically changed the plan.
According to White House sources, bin Salman begged Trump not to stop the war:
“This is a historic opportunity – we must finish the job and weaken the Iranian regime once and for all.”
In exchange for continuing the fighting, Saudi Arabia offered an unprecedented package of economic and strategic incentives.
Key points in the offer:
• $100 billion transferred directly to finance American war costs
• Full and immediate normalization with Israel after the fall of the regime
• Direct oil pipeline from Saudi Arabia to the port of Ashdod, turning Israel into a major energy hub
• Investment of approximately $1 trillion in the U.S. economy + purchase of $500 billion in American weapons
• Establishment of a new regional defense alliance, including Israel, Saudi Arabia, and other moderate countries under an American umbrella
• Joint naval force to control the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb
• Funding of strategic U.S. bases in Israel
• Joint reconstruction fund for a post-regime “secular and moderate” Iran
In the end, Trump announced a temporary ceasefire, not an end to the war as was expected.
Senior diplomatic sources describe the move as “a historic turning point” marking the beginning of a new regional order.

Some big names have shifted full anti-Trump. Others are full pro-Trump and insist that he can never be criticized and anyone who questions him or expresses any skepticism about anything he does is a traitor to the cause. Fewer and fewer prominent figures on the right are staking out the only actual sane position, which is that Trump is a politician who sometimes we will agree with and sometimes we will not agree with, and our right and responsibility as Americans is to be honest in either case.

two big things in conservative and independent media big accounts have shifted full anti Trump others have shifted to posting viral general content

@IterIntellectus I think a better explanation is the rise in womens equality to men in income and status. This makes women feel no real gain from marriage which reduces marriages which reduces babies. Thoughts?

US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate"
my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations.
poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable
the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point
we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it
the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

EXCLUSIVE: California spends $30 billion per year paying 800,000 people to cook, clean, shop, and watch television with family members and others. This "in-home care" program operates mostly on the honor system—and loses $6 to $12 billion a year to fraud.

The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne have been caring for those with terminal cancer for 125 years. They don’t charge insurance or any government-subsidized healthcare. For admission as a resident, they only require a terminal diagnosis of cancer and your word that there is no one who can care for you.

An order of Catholic nuns who care for the terminally ill poor has sued to block a New York transgender-rights law that requires nursing homes to use pronouns, assign rooms and allow restroom access based on a patient's gender identity, or risk jail time. trib.al/kXikWLn
