Thanks so much for the support so far this month!

We making slow progress on our March fundraising goal, can we break $500 before this weekend? We've got a couple bills (cell phone and credit card) due in the next few days.

So far y'all have really helped me survive capitalism while taking time to focus on our tiny human and look after my partner as they recover from childbirth.

$245 / $5000

Cashapp / Venmo / Paypal $nullagent

Found out yesterday that my kid is texting on the reg with some random "kid" (supposedly) that she doesn't know in real life.

If this person is who he says he is, it's mostly harmless. He doesn't even live in the area. So I don't want to come down too hard and risk that it drives her into further underground/hidden comms.

But if he's NOT, I'm worried about sextortion or some other scam. If other parents have advice, I'm listening.

newsweek.com/us-housing-market “The reason why new construction finally outpaced new household formation is sobering: at least 1.6 million expected Gen Z and millennial households did not form in 2024 because of factors which included a lack of affordable housing. In short, people are not settling down and becoming homeowners because they can't afford to.” #housing #shortage #poverty #inequality #economics #parenting

Newsweek · US Housing Market Given Bleak PredictionBy Giulia Carbonaro

This morning my wife wasn't feeling great, and my 5y old decided to be nice and made her a PB & J sandwich.

She brought it up to our room and dropped it off. "Aw that was really sweet of you" her mom says and takes a big bite. As she bounds away down the hallway she announces, "sorry it took so long, I had to poop in the middle of making it!"

This is wildly surprising. And perhaps offers a tiny sliver of hope?

One of the bills opposed would have required “emergency” removal of transgender children from their parents.

On the floor, Representatives SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr persuaded Republicans with their speeches. Bravo! 👏🏻

Thanks for the piece, @ErinInTheMorn.
