I am tired of “normalizing” the hardest parts of modern motherhood I would like to say it is NOT normal to be this isolated and overwhelmed and held to ridiculous standards with no support fuck normalizing it we should change it

In honor of Taylor's new album, I watched Beyonce's Homecoming doc

Ok but has Taylor ever actually met a poet?

OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS BOOK AND WHY DON'T I HAVE IT

Out today: Catherine Ricketts' gorgeous debut exploring the fraught yet generative ties between motherhood and creative work. I love this book--which Rachel Yoder calls 'brilliant and open-hearted'--and I promise you will too. tinyurl.com/22swrun5

“The Mother Artist is a hopeful, luminous answer to the question ‘Can and should a mother still dream?’ A brilliant and openhearted gift of a book.”—Rachel Yoder

told my students the source of poetry was wanting what you absolutely cannot have and they were so pissed

I loved reading this book, a haunted tale of motherhood. Congrats on pub day, Clare!

Wait—WHY is childcare not a permissible use of grant funds for the creation of art?
