My son will be born
Two weeks from today
Give or take
And the world is a parade
Made entirely of floats
Spelling out
“Why would you have children right now?”
I don’t have an answer
Except
I love children
I love this world
And I don’t want to be alone in it
Two weeks from today
Give or take
And the world is a parade
Made entirely of floats
Spelling out
“Why would you have children right now?”
I don’t have an answer
Except
I love children
I love this world
And I don’t want to be alone in it

I’m excited for my son to be born in January. It’ll be nice having someone around who can dry all these tomatoes.

This will directly cause hundreds of thousands of new and needless deaths from tuberculosis every year, and reverse decades of progress in fighting our deadliest infection. I'm just devastated.
Tuberculosis, the deadliest infectious disease on the planet, kills more than 1.25M people a year. New infections are expected to surge by 30% as a result of closing USAID, a memo says. The increase will inevitably lead to cases in the U.S.
Internal Memos: Senior USAID Leaders Warned Trump Appointees of Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths From Closing Agency
One million children will go untreated for severe malnutrition, up to 166,000 people will die from malaria and 200,000 more children will be paralyzed by polio over the next decade, the memos…

Fellow parents! I’m looking for some insight/advice. My daughter is ~15 months old and has yet to do—or even bring up the idea of doing—the Ice Bucket Challenge. Is this normal/okay? Should I be concerned by her lack of empathy?
