Unpopular opinion apparently: your son does not need to be athletic to deserve friends. If a kid has to turn into somebody else to fit in, the problem isn’t the kid. It’s the group. So let’s teach our kids, especially the sports kids, to make room for everybody. The band kid, the theater kid, the art kid, the science club kid. All of them #momlife #raisingboys

I didn’t expect my son to get emotional. I should have. These conversations aren’t new in our house. I’ve been asking my boys the hard questions for years, and they always show me they understand more than I give them credit for. We talked about Cornell before I ever hit record. What you’re watching is what came after. Just a 7th grader working through something heavy, out loud. He watched the edit before I posted it. He always does, and nothing goes up without his okay. When I asked if he was sure about this one, he said yes, because he wants other boys to hear it too. So many of you have told me you watch these videos with your own sons. That’s why we keep making them. Some of you will say he’s too young for this. He’s already in the group chats. The guys in that house were in group chats at 12, too. Somebody should’ve been asking them questions. His emotion isn’t a sign this conversation was too much. It means it landed. Boy moms, watch this with your son tonight. Then ask him: “If that message showed up in your group chat, what would you type back?” Come tell me what he said. 👇

Trying to stay as sane as I possibly can in this unreal but not surprising timeline we are in.

Numbness doesn’t only come from too many headlines. Sometimes it’s written into the paperwork. ICE told the company running the Alexandria facility that the families inside can’t be called prisoners, detainees, or inmates. Officially it’s a “staging area.” They’ll get to wear their own clothes. There won’t even be headcounts. But according to ICE’s own planning documents, those families are in ICE custody and can only be released when ICE says so. Babies and pregnant women, on a former Air Force base, and the language is built to make it sound like a layover. Soft words make it easier to swipe. So say what it is out loud, and check your registration at vote.gov. Now, what was his name? 👇

#onthisday The constant belittling and dehumanizing single mothers is infuriating to me. And it’s always MEN who have an opinion. They genuinely want women to stay in unhealthy relationships or be forced into an unhealthy relationship through guilt and shame. There is no single mom without a man who also contributed. Let’s start going after the men who leave and don’t support the woman. Let’s shame every single one of them. I’m so done with these ignorant men.

I need to say this clearly, because I don’t want it lost in the video: no hate to homeschool families. Truly. If it’s the right fit for your kid, do it. What I can’t get behind is homeschooling because someone decided public school is the enemy. It’s not. Never has been. The problem was never the building, the teachers, or the kids sitting next to yours. Yes there are bad teachers and bullies. But the big problem is what we’ve done to public school on purpose — more mandates, less funding, and then we act shocked when the system strains under it. Defund something for a decade and then point at it and say “see, it doesn’t work.” That’s infuriating to me. I’m a public school mom because I believe in the fix, not the exit. We fund it. We show up. We stop pretending the kids are the problem and hold legislators accountable for not supporting public education.

They were a wedding gift. They were intimate. They were beautiful. Yes it hurt. But not for long. Women who have been screwed over by a man are the strongest and most dangerous woman you will meet. We don’t put up with anything. #CapCut

These guys have to know that women like me don’t sit down and shut up. I love to bring down the assholes of the world. They are so incomprehensible at being assholes too. Do they really think women won’t bring receipts? Poor guy. I feel bad for him. Because he said I blocked him. But I know when my followers find him he will be blocking me. He just wants attention. Don’t be too hard on him.

My philosophy is, expose them and then have discussions about it. When they see or hear it again they will know exactly what to say and do. #momlife #raisingboys #empathy
