I meant to write this thread yesterday, but given all the, uh, news, about our paper, I was too distracted. I'll start by saying this is the kind of journalism that I want to be doing, and I am so grateful that @sdut has given me so much space to do this kind of work. 1

A very gentle reminder to men everywhere: It is not okay to ask childless women about their plans to have kids. I promise you, you have no idea what people are going through. A small side comment could devastate them and/or derail their day. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
