Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

My kids will know their story, and I will fight forever to make sure no one else has to go through what I did to get here. And I'm one of the lucky ones.

All of that culminated in a diagnosis that went from unexplained infertility to Immune Infertility of Unknown Origin. That diagnosis is also why we believe both babies were born prematurely due to preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).

To complete my family & take this picture,it took:
- 1 ectopic
- 1 surgery ruled out endometriosis
- 2 miscarriages
- 2 egg retrievals
- 3 Reproductive Immunologists
- 4 outright failed transfers
- 4 Reproductive Endocrinologists
- 13 transferred embryos
- 33 day 5 frozen embryos
- 55 eggs retrieved

My story is a worst-case IVF story. It took us 4,380 days to hold our first living baby in our arms.

I wouldn't have had this second child without my current employer, who offered coverage. That was even with the more expensive portion already paid and frozen.

When people see me now, they see a tired, older Mom with two kids. A boy and a girl. The "ideal". What they don't see is everything it took to get to this point. The literal blood, sweat, tears, and bags of 💸💸💸.

This week marks the start of National Infertility Awareness Week 2025. Today's prompt is #ALLinTheJourney

Forever both dominator and simpering victim

Lizzie: yup!

L: yup!
M: did you know you’re brave?
L: yup! So brave, I take my shots.
M: did you know you’re kind?

Staying on-point this week with a [kind-of] #TongueOutTuesday shot :)

Rhys had a great first trip to the dog park, even though he was upset at being trapped on the “small dog” side.

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

Something to reshare! 👇🏼

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

I don't know if #FurballFriday is a thing, but here are some shots of my daughter being enchanted by every furry creature ever [Well, just #MiniDonkeys and #goats here]:

Lighted Goodyear sign in twilight.

Cruising around waiting for our pizza to be ready, I stopped for a quick shot of an Akron landmark. You can see it from my house this time of year with all the naked trees, but you can get a very nice shot from the parking lot across the street.

Akron Route 8 Bridge, in black and white.

Another Akron landmark, the Rt. 8 Bridge, is not long for this world. Currently, the 75-year-old bridge sees north of 100,000 cars cross it daily. The new bridge will double the current capacity, with four lanes running each way.

Establishing the President's Make America Healthy Again Commission By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.
