Anyone else feel like kid-free time is best spent getting rid of unwanted toys, or do you have a social life?

💯 💯 💯 #Folklore #FolkloreFriday
Sure. This new album is a full mood for right now. But I, for one, am eagerly awaiting the @taylorswift13 album where she’s had a couple kids, has written a love song to coffee, and a breakup song for sleep and freedom. Oh. And even more swears. Heavy on the swears 💁🏻‍♀️ #Folklore
Ooop 🙊🤷🏻‍♀️

I am terrified—terrified—at the prospect of not having safe school in the fall. But as impossible as it feels, I can work from home. What about the MILLIONS of parents who can’t? Frontline workers? With no child care options? This is an SOS. People will break. #HEROESAct

I am at the go-to-the-driveway-and-sit-in-the-car-with-the-seat-warmer-on-because-my-back-is-hurting-but-with-the-AC-on-because-it’s-hot-outside stage of quarantine. I will not be taking questions at this time.

I've heard from so many friends--one spoke through sobs--who are barely managing to do their jobs while caring for young kids. They're operating on little sleep, struggling w/ depression. One is leaving her job. We need to be talking more about how to support parents, esp. women.
So many work through the night. Our children backslide. Inboxes, laundry piles grow—we repeat, this is unsustainable. After months of neglect my five year old said to me last night, I’m still proud of you. It can be far worse. For families everywhere, we need #PaidLeaveforAll.

PREACH... and congrats, mama ♥️
I laboured for 7 hours and gave birth in a mask so I think the rest of you can wear one for like 10 minutes to go inside a store to grab a Jamba Juice or whatever you do

Sometimes when it gets too late to cook dinner, I tell my daughter to just grab a bunch of snacks, but I make it sound fun. Follow me for more parenting hacks.
Here for this call. Love you both. Happy to help too ♥️

Read the whole thread... ♥️
Police violence is also a pandemic. As is racism. COVID-19 is hitting Black Americans twice as hard as white ones. Black unemployment is at 16.8%; white at only 12.4%. If we’re privileged & able, we need to be willing to raise our own personal risk in order to lower theirs.
