Have you ever wondered what the process is like to go through IVF, something that many people keep hush-hush like every aspect of their fertility journey, as if it's shameful to talk about it? Is the journey different for polyamorous people? I wrote about it here, in a FREE post.

dirtbagchristian.substack.co… Hopefully, learning about this can give you some empathy for people who have to go through this stringent medical process that is often highly emotional and intense... and not always succesful, either.

I cannot bear this app, but, I am about 21 weeks pregnant currently (via IVF) from my other long-term partner (not my legal husband!) and have now reached the final stage of polyamory, and I couldn't be more excited and had to announce it here.

My latest free post up on Substack. It's a celebration of poetry from David Gate and Anthony Thomas Lombardi, but also more generally. We need to keep reading anything that isn't news or social media.
Two poetry books (murmurations by Anthony Thomas Lombardi and A Rebellion of Care by David Gate) are in the background on a blue couch with white text written over it. The text is: headline - You Should Start Reading Poetry subheadline - The news can wait. Your game will still be there. Social media feeds never end. Read a poem. link - dirtbagchristian.substack.com

while the world is burning down with glimmers of hope maybe around us, I decided not to write about anything and instead wrote about a cool scene I saw in a movie I liked as an unrepentant Wes Anderson fan and a friendly Christian communist! (y'all are still here at X lol?)
picture screenshot from my dirtbag Christian substack that reads: Wes Anderson's latest movie, The Phoenician Scheme, had a Christian communist reference in it And the politest communists on screen I've ever seen in a mainstream film dirtbagchristian.substack.com the text is overlaid over a picture of Richard Ayoade in character as Sergio the revolutionary communist

I'm asking for help. This has been (almost) the worst month of my life. It sucks to complain when things are bad everywhere, but I'm just devastated. I wrote about it all in a Substack post so I don't have to keep talking about it on multiple platforms. dirtbagchristian.substack.co…

A small segment of the anti-cancel-culture left, centrists who complain about the "woke left," & ex-liberals who whine about cancel culture refuse to mention that conservatives are a million times worse and will cause active harm to you! See more here: dirtbagchristian.substack.co…

I've been subjected to an online cancelling attempt myself over what amount to interpersonal conflict. It was terrible. But the idea that annoying people are the same thing as genuinely harmful people in the GOP needs to be addressed!

Hi! I live in Richmond, where we've been experiencing a water outage/crisis since Monday. I wrote about that experience as it relates to the LA fires, climate change, and consumerism. This post on my Substack is free. Please read! #RVAWaterCrisis #RVA dirtbagchristian.substack.co…

But this present could be a more constant glimpse of our future... dirtbagchristian.substack.com
