I’ve been thinking and writing a lot about what holidays means as a parent in these times. In the fall, I mostly guffawed at the new trend of Boo Baskets for Halloween for The Cut. I also wrote in my Good Enough Parent column for Romper about how to engage as a parent with a holiday you don’t particularly love.

On Friday, I hosted a Substack live with . Liz is a political journalist, podcaster, and author. She was a senior producer and political correspondent at Vox, and is the author of the book For the Love of Men. She also has the newsletter . I love Liz’s joyful approach to the bizarre and idiotic political moment we find ourselves in. We talk about politics, “resistance”, and how we can show up for ourselves and our communities over the next four years, and our lifetimes.

Hello, hello! Is anyone else having a hard time just getting 2025… started? First it was the endless school break, now it’s frigid weather plus a kiddo home with the flu. Am wearing a mask in my own home, doling out ibuprofen, and trying not to flashback to this January. Although I hate the diet culture commodification of New Year’s, I actually like new year energy and making low-stakes resolutions.

Remember that night in 2016 when Trump prowled the stage, hovering over Hillary Clinton as she calmly outlined her policies? Last night, the mood (or should I say vibe!) was different. How many of us have older white cis men like this in our lives? Men who talk about their warped view of the world with a frustrating certainty, turning wishes into fact, idiocy into conviction. Who address women who challenge them like they are scolding a child.

I slammed my head into the wall behind me. Well, not the wall exactly – the door jamb, which was worse, better, and, ultimately, neither. Worse because it hurt more, better because that bigger hurt would, I was sure, help replace the numbing dreadrage I was feeling already, and neither because it didn’t help at all. At least not for long.

I recently returned from a writing retreat in Mendocino with smart, fun bosses and (and, for a hot second, ). While TCF and I go way back, Sarah and Amanda’s work was new to me. (Go read their ‘Stacks if you’re into nuanced, accessible takes on topics like motherhood, identity, pop culture, and more.)This was the first writing retreat I’d ever done with people.
