I’m convinced this is where gender reveals started

Yes, that must be it. Easy money is always fun, I guess!

I just...don't understand the need for this? The good girl/alphahole (fascist?) hero is not new or unique to HP. This is so bizarre, to build a marketing campaign around this in THIS day and age.

America: *makes it financially, mentally, and physically impossible to have kids*

Also America: clearly women just don’t understand their periods well enough 🙂

They’re still dancing. The girl posted about how upset she was with her family, and how the cult leader had nothing to do with why she cut them off, you know, like someone in a cult might say.

Yeah no reason now!

Alisha Rai @alisharai.bsky.social · Mar 13

Yessss. We’ve only flown southwest with the baby. The few times we had to use another airline were awful or expensive.

Alisha Rai @alisharai.bsky.social · Mar 13

Ready to create a little fence around my baby’s head so strangers stop touching his hair 😩

Alisha Rai @alisharai.bsky.social · Mar 12

“Were you all really checking two bags on Southwest?”

Were you NOT? Have you never experienced the pleasure of throwing all your toiletries in a bag without checking the size? The joy of walking to your gate with simply your computer on your back? You have not truly lived!

I don't care whether it's starting or ending just PLEASE for the love of God stop changing the clocks, my poor toddler does not get why he suddenly needs to sleep at what he feels is a criminally different time

I never liked daylight savings time, but after having a baby, I want to light it on fire

I think a lot of our moms had kids because they were supposed to.

I keep getting served weird trad wife content like this these days and I just want to make it VERY CLEAR that this is the actual propaganda.

Babies aren’t inherently oppressive, but being forced into motherhood is. Bye.

Woman and baby with caption “Imavine how much propaganda it took to convince an entire generation of women this is oppressive”

I genuinely can’t imagine filming at your own house when you get regular death threats

Alisha Rai @alisharai.bsky.social · Mar 8

Also, ya weirdos, she probably doesn’t want everyone to know what her house looks like. Cause there are WEIRDOS.

“Its not even her house she’s filming at!!!”

Be SO fucking for real do you have any idea how much equipment and disruption filming requires? I know multiple people who rent whole ass apartments for their podcasts. And they are not Megan Sussex.

Maybe, but Vance doesn’t have cult leader charisma, and I think that’s quite clear to them already.
