Turns out it’s a bad idea to bring a baby in a stroller to a coffee festival. Who’d have thought?

Did not consider that the hundreds of people who were inside had gotten there after waiting in line for an hour just to wait in more lines for more hours to get their first coffee of the day at about 1pm and were thus very angry and undercaffeinated.

Shoutout to @Embassy_HSV for not only not having a baby changing station even in the women’s bathroom, but also not having any soap! Loved having to change my 2-mo-old on the 5 inches of counter between sinks and then not being able to wash my hands. 👍

Seriously though, why doesn’t Bruce Banner have stretch marks? and other useless things I think about postpartum.

A very old man just followed me to a gas station to yell at me about how inconsiderate I was to pass his slow ass and signal while doing so, so my day is going great so far because I got to unleash some of my rage on that fool.

My mom works for a company that greets celebs when they arrive at the Toronto airport, and now the Commander and Aunt Lydia from @HandmaidsOnHulu have seen photos of my baby.

Today me & my partner in crime are reading an ARC of @poett_y’s new collection with @wearehalfmystic & trying to come up with a blurb good enough to encompass all the magic inside this book.

I fell asleep cuddling the baby and MAY HAVE woken up only to realize I drooled on her head.

Went to a bar for the first time post baby and said to my husband (in front of my mom) “I would totally sleep with you tonight if I didn’t have a stitch in my vagina.”

This is fucking fantastic. Perfect in every way.
“I dream of all the mothers I know. They’re laughing, saying something too soft for me to hear. Their children are playing on the beach, their soft bottoms covered in sand...” Check out contributor @theinnerzone’s story, “Piecing,” in @TriQuarterlyMag! triquarterly.org/issues/issu…
