today on birdsite, family abolitionist Sophie Lewis linked a free zine upload to Mothering Against Motherhood, which she wrote in part about her mother's death, and ohhh wow this is real, this is how people act about it, that combination of stigmatising and wildly sentimental. https://haters.noblogs.org/files/2022/03/Mothering-Against-imposed.pdf
A #Tennessee story from WaPo today tells us that supporting motherless children is "Leninist indoctrination, anti-Christian and a threat to Western civilization" https://wapo.st/3HX0cMq (paywall-free link). In keeping with most mainstream coverage on this, the article doesn't much address the needs of #motherless children at all, or even consider why the uncomfortable reality of our lives turns us into targets of the far-right. it's all culture war to them.
A Tennessee teacher planned a Mother’s Day class. Then came the MAGA rage.

One more example of how reactionary culture-warriors perpetually manufacture new enemies to hunt.
