Yknow how, when you present as a lady, stranger men in public places are always commenting on your clothing/body in a demeanor that is half-predatory half-drunk uncle? My new thing this summer is gonna be to give random men on the metro/street the up and down and say, “a little hot for that suit, eh?” And then chuckle smugly. Because the only thing I can imagine being worse than wearing a suit in DC summer heat is having someone in linen culottes “good-naturedly” make fun of you about it.

If Mother’s Day is about celebrating motherhood, don’t queer moms, immigrant moms, moms of children with disabilities, and moms with disabilities deserve to be celebrated? If Mother’s Day emphasizes the importance of the maternal bond, don’t genderqueer moms, adoptive moms, foster moms, trans moms, grandmas parenting grandkids, and single moms also experience that same bond? If the purpose of Mother’s Day is to highlight the influence of mothers, aren’t stepmoms, incarcerated moms, young moms, refugee moms, low-income moms, and moms living on sovereign land also influential?Mothers’s Day for the Rest of Us | MommyNoire (via givingmelife)
