TW: Mother’s Day, IVF 🐣 My egg retrieval happened exactly on Mother’s Day, because I guess she’s a witch as well as a woman in STEM 🥲💪✨ If there were ever any gaps in my feminism, this experience sealed the deal for good. The lion’s share of the work, the lion’s share of the health risks, only to still make $0.82 to a man’s dollar in 2025, among many other more sad, insidious things ❤️‍🩹 If you are or have a mother figure, here’s to the effort. You deserve all the flowers 💐
