Milk Junkies: Trans Women and Breastfeeding: A... →
I don’t think it’s any secret that I really want to be a mom someday (though it seems less and less possible as I ascend into my thirties *sigh*) and I’ve always been pretty adamant that if I had the good fortune to know my child as a baby, I would want to breastfeed them.
But there’s very very little information out there about trans women breastfeeding. As this...

What if people told European history like they told Native American history?

–
Every day, workers are forced to minimize safety in order to keep their jobs. The vast majority of American workers have no unions to defend their right to workplace safety. The U.S. Department of Labor and other federal agencies do not protect workers from being killed on the job.

Katie Under Ground
It was almost midnight. I was sitting in a greasy spoon in Philadelphia drinking a cup of coffee with the lights of a police car flashing on my face from outside. I had a big red fedora on: in the film noir of the evening I was simultaneously the mysterious lady in red and the detective working undercover.

That made me tear up,...

Well let me tell you, it was quite the pragmatic purchase. It has endless uses in my morning routine.
