Post Post Partum Post, Hope and the Queer Spawn Club

My hair is falling out.
There’s a tribble in the shower every time I bathe.  Before I bathe, even.  Every time I run my fingers through my hair, a big clump comes out.  It is gross.  And it freaked me out until my yoga teacher explained that, no, I wasn’t going bald.  Apparently, while you’re pregnant, [...]

Family with a Capital F

There’s this list of legal stuff gay moms have to do when they have a baby.  Ummm.  Yeah.  That.  Well, let’s just say we haven’t even really gotten started on the list yet.  Unless you consider “Give birth,” to be an item on the list.

Dear Trucker (4 months)

Preschool Democracy (and the Post In Which Oneofhismoms Screams From the Rooftops)

Cake: We gonna vlote!  We gonna vlote!
Hymen: We’re going on a boat.
Bill:  Really?  You’re going to vote?

Too Nervous

So much is on the line today.  I can’t even see straight.
Since I can’t see straight, I certainly can’t write for myself.  So, go read my friend’s well-written election post.
And then go VOTE.
I want to hear your voting experience.  Let me know how it went.  I’ll send you a virtual ice cream and a virtual [...]

Tingles

I feel like the good guys need to win this election by a huge landslide.  Not just win.  We need to stomp the vote.  We need to win so hard, nobody, NOBODY can question it.
I feel like the last two elections were stolen.  You get mugged [...]
