Comment on Six women speak about their fears of bringing a child into a world that feels like it’s teetering on the edge of collapse - and why they’re choosing to do it anyway in ~life

We have considered adoption, as well, and I very much want to adopt -- but I think she wants to carry one child to term, at least. It's complicated!
This article also made me think of friends of ours, who just had a baby a few months ago after trying for years, IVF, the whole nine. We haven't seen them, obviously, because of Covid. I can't imagine what it must've been like.

Or just a journal/CNF-style drawing about how loneliness affects you/people might be neat too, a la Hyperbole and a Half's famouse depression one.

Slightly fewer words than the nanowrimo (30k vs 50k) goal, and not all cohesive.
That, or crochet something big, or updating my website ... again.

I grew up around Knoxville, TN, and went to grad school in Flagstaff, AZ -- which are both on I-40, so it was a straight-across shot. At some point I drove out to the Western terminus of I-40 in Barstow California; I've gone as far East as Raleigh, NC, but not quite to Wilmington. One day, I'll finish it out!

It follows the pattern of making a lot of noise about the Dems doing something and then doing literally the thing.
