At the risk of sounding to sincere and corny CTH is one of the most friendly communities and the only one I regularly post or engage in. I have made the transition from the reddit to the discord to here. I go here because not only are your politics good but everyone I interact with in the community is great. Sure we are all under so many layers of irony moments of sincerity can be hard but I’m very excited and scared.
Haven’t told anyone else yet but I’m gonna be a dad. I’m terrified of the state of America but I really felt a resurgence yesterday when I found out. I want to give my kid a fighting chance. And we need more dirty leftists in the world.
Also, if you have to formula feed, do it. Sometimes you don't produce enough milk, sometimes capitalism demands you go back to work too early—and quite frankly breastfeeding is the hardest work on the planet. If anybody tries to shame you for your choice, they can go fuck themselves. You do what you gotta do to keep you and your partner's mental health afloat. Being a new parent is really fucking hard.
