My HOA has miscalculated. They don’t know how prepared I am for war.

Best two minutes you’ll watch all weekend.

“I think that when I have an issue I want to speak about, people will hear.” Queen bee energy. 10/10 no notes.

I don’t think I’ve watched a video of these fires that has captured the meaning of home so completely. Pray for these people. 💙

A consequence of fewer children is less empathy for those who have them.

Listened to an interview where their mother said she made them share a room growing up even though there was an extra bedroom. Interviewer was like “oh, that’s so sweet it made them lifelong friends...” And she interrupted: “It made them more competitive.” God tier parenting.

This is going to decide the election, isn’t it.

One of the greatest evils of my 90s childhood was the sedation and casual drugging of young boys for acting like boys in a school system built for little girls. And it’s only now that we’re finally allowed to ask questions. Decades too late.

I have been radicalized. All politics is local. I am announcing my candidacy for HOA board.

Worst part of America. There’s nothing there to see except 50 ft alligators. Doesn’t hold a candle to New York City or California. You should avoid the panhandle and North Florida like your life depends on it please do not go or move there.

My mother became a widow just after turning 50. From the moment she handed the do not resuscitate order to the paramedics (at my father’s instruction) she was doing things, planning things, managing. A friend came over and told her to lie down a few hours after he died, and she said “what are you talking about? There’s a funeral to prepare.” She probably made 500 calls in 48 hours, went through her entire contact list. Ordered enough food for the army of people who stopped by our house and our church. For months after, everyday, all she did was go through his things, organize everything, his pen collection, his books, meet with anyone who wanted to talk about my dad and made sure they had a small piece of him to take with them. She became the rock for everyone around her when everyone else wanted to cry and grieve. I don’t think I ever saw her cry except at the funeral. But he’s been dead for 20 years and she still wears her wedding ring. He’s still her husband. No one should ever judge a widow’s grief. Erika Kirk has to do this kind of work— the widow’s work, a difficult role you don’t understand until you’ve witnessed it—at a scale none of us can fathom. She has to tend to a nation’s grief. And she’s doing a beautiful job.

Elder millennials are going to be the most politically engaged and relevant leadership cohort for the next 40 years. It’s because this pocket of millennials (1980-1987) remembers the before times vividly. Home ownership. Landlines. Car phones. Dial up internet. But also a hegemonic nation and normal American life before everything got weird. Younger generations didn’t experience it. And older generations took it for granted. They’ll dominate the left and the right for a simple reason: they remember.

One of the most destructive memes of the last generation was that your 20s don’t matter. Extended adolescence robbed many of their agency during their highest-energy years, encouraging therapeutic self-discovery, waiting one’s turn, experimentation with identity. Uselessness. The next generation is having none of that. The gerontocracy is dead. Go all in early.

Young men should be angry. The long-term effect of taking Adderall and Ritalin over years is growth suppression. I don’t think many boys are told “take this pill, and the major side effect is you’ll be shorter.” Terrible.

Today, a CEO was assassinated in the streets, leaving behind a wife and children. If you’re a journalist publishing the faces and names of women CEOs after posting “and people wonder why we want these executives dead” I read that as a threat on mothers and children. If you’re a publication that hires a journalist who publishes the name and face of a woman executive today, you are enabling this evil. We are all watching. 👀

The decline in liberal arts degrees bodes well for society on almost every dimension. College students now know that majoring in Book Club won’t get you a great job. This is progress.

We are now saying the quiet part out loud: For adults under 50, the primary argument against having children isn’t an economic one. It’s cultural. “I just don’t want to.” If you believe that children are essential to building a good, dynamic society, you’re about to learn that a growing number of young people disagree with you. The question we have to ask is why.

My son came home with a Pre-K report card; I read it and was thrilled. My husband read it and was baffled. I read it and anchored on the lines that really matter: “He excels quickly in all his math assignments and has mastered the math and reading concepts presented.” My husband focused on the extra full page on “social emotional growth” commentary and looked confused the whole time. “What does any of this mean?” “Nothing,” I said. “Ignore it.” And then that evening we explained to our son the lesson that is going to get him through his life: “People will put up with many things if you are excellent at math. You’re so good at math. We’re proud of you.” And that was that. There are many important posts going viral today about the tragedy of young men. Combatting the systems that seek to destroy their nature begins in the home, and it begins young. I don’t care about the “social emotional growth” of my sons because I know what values we’re instilling in them. Telling them what really matters begins with dad and mom. The family can be a reprieve from all the nonsense. It requires constant vigilance, but it’s the first step in preparing them for the madness outside.

Every pre-school teacher in America should be required to watch this video of Alex Karp being completely unable to sit still in his chair.
