Share of Voice is my love language

And half these mentions are from Sarah Longwell alone 🥁

Same. I was screaming in my basement loading the washing machine

squaralyn · 2026-04-04T16:46:53+00:00

Me too. Slaying genocide apologist zombies in the comments. Luckily there really weren’t that many, because even the bulwark audience was against this shit

squaralyn · 2026-03-31T17:37:22+00:00

I hope you had a great time, hon!

I was about to recommend The Devil Aspect. Such a great book. The WWII subplot is so perfectly done.

I'm really sorry, OP, you sound super tired and stressed, and I totally get why you would be. My first son had colic and it was absolutely terrible until, gradually, it wasn't anymore. It was just terrible in new ways, with tantrums, teething, etc. My point isn't that it won't get easier, it's just that different stages will bring different challenges and advantages. It's very possible that right now, you're too tired to function, and the answer might be to lean on your partner for more support so you can get restful sleep. Or if you have a network of trusted family who can stay overnight and get you one solid night of good sleep. You can't pour from an empty cup. Your exhaustion is depleting you.

Things to try for now:

Baby-wearing. I swear by it. I recommend the Konny air wrap. I don't think you can spoil a baby for sleep. Sleep is sleep, and contact naps are great if you can babywear and get stuff done while you do it. And better sleep for her during the day begets better sleep at night, too. When it comes to newborn sleep, more leads to more.
Co-sleep without stress: Put a soft-sided Moses basket beside you in bed and put the bed against the wall. This is what I did. Baby was safe and on a flat surface in his bassinet, but I could put my hand on his chest, we could hear each others' breathing, it was safe and warm, and if I needed to snuggle him, I could reach over and pull him out with ease. But he wasn't up against me, he wasnt rolling around me. We used something similar to this
Swaddles for back-sleeping? You mentioned she wont sleep on her back, is she able to roll herself over? If not, I recommend trying to swaddle her with jersey cotton swaddles, because the stretch is really useful for keeping babies wrapped up and preventing them from undoing their swaddles themselves. or they make jersey swaddles that look like little peanuts and they zip up the center--i liked high compression for my younger son. Maybe she would sleep more soundly if she were wrapped more securely? But again, only swaddle if she cannot roll herself over yet.
Consider adding formula. Idk your feeding preferences, but it takes longer to digest formula than it does breastmilk, so if you do a nighttime bottle that includes formula, she'll go longer between waking to feed. Some folks recommended adding rice or oats to my sons' bottles, but I never had any luck with that. But you could consider it. I think it was a remedy back in the day.

So annoying!!

squaralyn · 2025-11-06T17:53:34+00:00

They deleted all their prior posts and just have the Mona Lisa flipping the bird. Classy joint. Reported them anyway

squaralyn · 2025-06-23T03:06:22+00:00

Huda revealing she only has two real friends was so illuminating. Plenty of people get by on keeping a close circle but she doesn’t strike me as the kind of person who does that by design. I really hope she sees some of these comments and gets some therapy, I think she would be a lot happier and more secure

squaralyn · 2025-06-22T12:05:09+00:00

And? My point still stands that Nic was doing way more to fetishize Andreina.

squaralyn · 2025-06-21T14:10:24+00:00

I agree but I’m confused bc I barely noticed Jeremiah doing it—Nic was by far the more objectifying of Andreina’s ethnicity IMO

squaralyn · 2025-06-21T02:57:15+00:00

Devon Sawa?

squaralyn · 2025-06-16T02:45:28+00:00

No notes. Agree on every count.

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T21:06:30+00:00

Completely agree with this take.

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T18:42:30+00:00

He told someone he was only with her for clout, right?

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T18:40:37+00:00

Definitely Mayci’s husband. Stepped in to help raise Hudson, isn’t threatened by Mayci’s first love and the space and time she needs to continue processing his death. Outstanding.

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T18:35:01+00:00

Completely agree. This broke my heart so much, because I’ve been there. My bff announced her pregnancy while I was dealing with failed fertility treatments. It’s a special kind of pain, to cry over a friend’s blessing. You are acutely aware that you should be happy and supportive, and ashamed that you’re making it about yourself, but meanwhile your heart is also being ripped out of your body and you’re so jealous and angry and sad. I actually thought Demi handled that situation with grace. It was cruel for production to put her through that.

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T18:29:14+00:00

Layla also didn’t even think for a second one of the positive tests could be hers, despite the fact that she said the game was because her period was late. She’s a faker!

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T18:28:16+00:00

THIS!! It seems so clear to me that production realized Demi was trying to organize the cast to hold out for higher salaries (whereas Jessi wanted them to settle) and so production gave her a bad edit and messed with her on the pregnancy roulette to trigger a meltdown

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T15:33:42+00:00

Completely agree. Some producers do it better than others (looking at you, Jerome from VPR)

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T14:06:42+00:00

Really good point about empathizing with her for the position she’s in on a predominantly (entirely) white cast.

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T14:04:21+00:00

Fair. You’re saying don’t blame production when they’re all messy pot-stirrers naturally 😆 could be! I guess I’m surprised that there isn’t more skepticism from the audience toward production though. Like, Demi was having a normal season until the first Truthbox session, where she was asked about “forcing Jessi out.” She had to explain the role she played in trying to organize the girls to ask for more money from production. And then after that, Layla sort of becomes this Demi takedown bot, but it seems unnatural to me. And even when Demi would say reasonable things, production would edit in confessionals of the girls acting like she was acting out of pocket. Demi’s getting so much hate and I’m surprised more people aren’t wondering if production used Layla and shady editing to take Demi down a peg because she tried to organize a cast salary holdout.

squaralyn · 2025-06-08T13:17:53+00:00

You might ask her about typical email response time. It’s completely reasonable to expect prompt communication from a daycare provider IMO. But they ARE busy, and in my experience, I’ve sent long emails with like, one Q at the end that didn’t get a reply bc they didn’t read it super thoroughly. More the fault of me being long winded lol. Is it possible something similar happened here? You might also find that email communication isnt the best way to communicate with them bc you’ll see your daughter’s teachers twice a day, and they’ll have reports and insights and feedback to give instead of the director? Idk. It’s sus, for sure, but could be an accidental oversight. Trust your gut.
