I wrote about that recent New Yorker article on baby-led weaning (“The first food that she gave her daughter was foraged nettles” – I shit you not) and why I am so sick and bored of competitive mothering: graziadaily.co.uk/life/parenting…
My heart just feels so heavy all the time, thinking of these poor children and their families. It is barbaric. bbc.co.uk/news/world-mid…
"You ok, babe? You haven't finished your foraged nettles"
"You ok, babe? You haven't finished your foraged nettles"
Good piece. It seems to be almost entirely down to luck whether you get a fussy eater or not. My child was practically raised on Ella’s Kitchen and now happily eats a varied diet. Also most kids (myself included) grow out of extreme fussiness.

This is lovely
Good piece from Frances here and some very sad comments. You never hear people defend their right to hit a defenceless animal, but they somehow think it’s ok to hit a child. Often they were hit themselves and can’t handle facing what that says about their parents.

“A theme we have fed back to the Trust that we do still hear of is women not being believed when they say they are in labour.”

This is simply odd, as is the use of the word "infiltrated". I have begun to wonder if the "childfree" online discourse amounts, in some cases, to a form of radicalisation that is only going to get more and more poisonous.

This is an exciting and varied shortlist for the @WomensPrize! I loved Soldier, Sailor especially, but all of these are very well deserved. Huge congratulations to the authors

Everything to do w/ new motherhood is presented as binary which is SO UNHELPFUL especially when in reality me + every mother I know did *all* of the above depending on a gazillion contextual factors
I once asked for an espresso in a Greggs in Sunderland and the lady behind the till said (with some concern): “they’re just those little coffees mind”
i’m in bolton train station and i asked for oat milk in my coffee and the lady told me they don’t do that kind of thing here
@rhiannonlucyc Reading your articles now that my husband and I are starting to think about parenthood is making me more hopeful that maybe we can do this. Unlike those profiles/pages/spaces that talk like every single minuscule step has the power to make or break your kid. So much anxiety.
@rhiannonlucyc Thank you for this! I’m currently weaning my second child and still can’t face BLW due to my fear of choking! So refreshing to read something that isn’t shaming me for daring to largely spoonfeed my daughter
This is one of my favorite bits of screenwriting advice. After hearing this, a lot of the negative feedback that I got on earlier drafts started to make sense.
@rhiannonlucyc I’ve heard it all! I was so stressed with my first child when it came to weaning. I put pressure on myself to do it ‘right’ because I delved way too far into weaning advice online to the point I was feeling guilty if I gave him a pureed vegetable instead of solid, madness.
@rhiannonlucyc I stepped back from parenting social media years ago bc of this stuff. This inflated idea by (mostly) middle class white women that these microscopic choices are the reason their kid will thrive in life, when in reality their privileged upbringing already dictates that.
I wrote about The Tortured Poets Department, tortured poets, and the ontology of meaning - how does the art sublimate the artist, and when is a dialectic actually a continuum?
There’s a specific type of English eccentric (lives in a mansion block in Bloomsbury, has a PhD in Buddhist studies) that’s going to die out with the boomers and honestly it makes me kind of sad
The last few months sessions have been thoroughly inspiring & moving with open & honest conversations amongst Dads. They say men don’t talk it’s not true they just need permission to be vulnerable and platforms to do it.. join us next week by registering via the QR code below

Thinking about Naomi Klein’s article. I was brought up to believe that Israel kept us safe and no-one told me about the people displaced to make it. These days I know and believe differently. Jewish or non-Jewish, none of us are safe until everyone is.
In reading this, I am struck by the very different ways in which love moves us, to hurt and recrimination and yet also towards forgiveness and repair
What an extraordinary, touching and generous exchange between Rita Dove and the dying Helen Vendler, a great critic whose loss we mourn.
When I was younger I'd think all great art comes from genius and talent--now that I know better I wonder about the material aspect. How did life around him sort itself so that he could just write?
