I can’t even get preventative care despite the rhetoric that vaccination somehow is somehow in my best interest.
I can’t go out to dinner, dating is…well…awkward. And therefore will I have the opportunity at 43 to have a family; the way I planned?
Where were these women when the fertility discussion wasn’t about abortion?
She says she’s a doctor and a mother therefore she’s sharing her thoughts.
Really.
Maybe you should talk with mine - mom to mom.
She says “we are all scared.”
Not as scared as I am, doc.
Some civil liberties and choices are more equal than other civil liberties and choices. Is that it, @darakass ?
Or is it just that I’m no longer at and age worthy of your concern?
I think we need a name for this callous manipulation (and betrayal) - “Woke wave feminism?”
“Flatten the curve” feminism. Smash those waves, ladies.
@CHSommers where are the women to help guide us through this? I thought of all people the feminists that pushed back against the illiberalism framing women as victims would maybe notice what is happening here.
I’m ashamed of what we are modeling to the girls.
And even scarier…future fathers and lovers and husbands.
We’re going backwards so fast and not a single voice is saying push the break without risking…well…
If this is how an end to patriarchy looks,..well played. I guess mean girls never grow up after all.
@KarenLehrmanB maybe we can brainstorm. I gotta find a solution.
I got to meet a Golden Retriever yesterday. His name is Luke. He’s 8 years old and was rescued by his owner when he was 3 months old and together they now live blocks from the site. akc.org/expert-advice/…
Theres something about Luke. He’s cautious, protective, kind, and timid. He’s a little jumpy. He stands with his four paws on the ground at the WTC in a way that makes you wonder if his hips might be troubled. His owner told me later that they are just fine. She didn’t know
about the dogs of 9/11. Shes the about the same age I was when the buildings fell. When I told her she and I both couldn’t help but look at Luke. There’s something about him. It’s like he knows and somehow he’s where he should be - it was a remarkable thing to experience.
There’s an outdoor bar at #wtc now. It plays music that fills up the nearby space around the site. The first I heard was The Piano Man as I kept walking from St. Paul’s Chapel down toward the water.
I found myself there and, despite initial reactions to the surreality, as I walked back into Manhattan I found that place is in fact…well, right. It felt right. It also allowed me the time to drink a glass of wine in memory of my friend and …of a lot.
I hit record when some songs came on both for my own keepsake and to share privately with some who were part of that time in this city when we were just starting our adult lives and horrified that so many just like us had theirs cut short- often the best amongst us.
This is an incredible editorial from @KarenLehrmanB, the publisher of @TheWhiteRoseMag. Her vision, to shine a light on the illiberal left while also urging those who don’t trust they can speak out that, not only is it right to and that they must do, but also that
they can and will find fellow voices once they do. It permeates from this piece. A theme, for me, of recent weeks has been a fear that I’m yelling into a void, and then voices telling me out right that, no that worry is not true. There are millions of us.
“There are bullies of action and there are bullies of inaction—those who enable and empower evil.” She is right. There are so many examples of such behavior I can think of both in my personal life, but also that has impacted and I’d say without apology, hurt us all.
I’ve heard Naomi Wolfe is in NYC. If anyone out there could connect us I’d be grateful. It just occurred to me that the one woman who might have compassion for those of us not falling in line and possibly causing the ladies who lunch some angst was kicked off this platform…
…what was it for exactly again? Ladies…anyone remember? Ya think one day we may whisper again “everybody knew?” Yeah. #metoo.
Any help with any contacts here in NY would be incredible. We need to make sure this doesn’t happen to the next generation.
We don’t have to make their mistake. Agreed? Cool. #metoo.
I often say partisanship is poison. I deeply believe that.
I also deeply believe that it is dangerous to refer to our nation as a Democracy rather than a constitutional republic.
However…I also think we need to remember to trust our principles…not our government.
That means also that some people in government will say things that I will deeply disagree with.
That doesn’t mean they may not have had something to say meant only in good faith. Or that they never said anything worthy of our principles. Quite the contrary.
Some people claim to be masters at hypnosis/Persuasion etc. If they really are they’ll know who Dr. Herbert Spiegel is and why I mention him in relationship with this tweet.
Maybe one of them will see this and … I don’t even know.
Frankly right now I’m so struck by the
magnitude of what we are dealing with that I’m almost at this
