My younger sister got married last month! I'm sure she won't mind me sharing a picture! In the midst of the hectic planning and many errands, I found myself mentally preparing for the insensitive “caring” comments I would face with regards to children.

I’ve started a podcast!
In 2017, I had a conversation with someone about why I had not started a YouTube channel... Again, the common argument was that people don't read as much and my posts can sometimes be too long...
