It costs $1.99 per month (after a 14-day free trial); the advantage over the free version here is that you can […]

Happy Turkey Baster Awareness Day!

A very happy Thanksgiving to all of you celebrating it this week. Remember to make the turkey baster jokes before your relatives do. Posting will be light here for a few days as our family will be stuffing ourselves with poultry and pie.

Be Right Back

A quick note to say I’m going to be offline more than usual over the next few days in preparation for my son starting first grade (!!!) next week. I have a bunch of posts scheduled, though, including the vlog tomorrow, in which Helen and I discuss the classic theme of sperm banks and turkey

Thanks, Curve!

Thanks to Curve magazine and contributing editor Sheryl Kay for profiling me in the “Out in Front” section of their July/August issue. It’s an honor. The issue is not yet online, but you can view the PDF here. If you subscribe, you can find me on p. 19.

Have a Good Holiday!

No Weekly Political Roundup this week, as I’m spending the time with my family for the holiday, and I suspect few of you will be around either. Have a good holiday, if you’re celebrating it!

Happy Blogaversary to Mombian

Four years ago today, I published my first Mombian post. It’s been a longer and more fun journey than I ever could have imagined, thanks to all of you who have stopped by to read, comment, and in many cases, become friends. My vision for the site then was to offer news, analysis, and resources

We Now Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming

I’m not posting a Weekly Political Roundup this week. I did an LGBT Parenting Roundup yesterday that I hope will hold you until next Friday. You see, our son is graduating from kindergarten today, and I wouldn’t be a very good parenting blogger if I didn’t get out and, well, parent. Gotta go get him

Taking a Short Break

I’m taking a short blogging break this week, so posts will be light. I have a few things set to publish automatically (so do stop by), but I will likely not be doing much in terms of breaking news. (This means, of course, that the California marriage decision will likely happen this week, because that’s
