'The Retrievals' and the Infantilization of Motherhood

To mother is to suffer, riteeeee?

Radical Subscribers:

Welcome, welcome, come on in, first some housekeeping.

We come to you once again in audio form because 1) we think we’re good at it??? 2) we coaxed Fierce Lizzie, the Czarina of unapologetic, unmedicated birth to gab with us 3) Natasha is finishing up a deadline that has her hanging upside down from the rafters, foaming with anxiety. Come October(ish) we’ll be writing again plus audio!

If you’re new to these parts, consider upgrading your account to $5 buckaroos a month. That goes to help with our radical organizing activities, gardening tools, and health care costs. And you get a cool pin FOR FREE GRATIS:

Your Union Swag is Here

Dear adoring subscribers, Without you, this project would not exist. We kicked off our Mommy Blog / Radical Indoctrination Email campaign in January and in a few short months you’ve helped build a punchy and unapologetic community of moms, lactivists, and birth weirdos who are dedicated to re-connecting mothers to instincts and their babies.

Our pod today is all about The Retrievals, a New York Times + Serial collab that’s a deep dive into a nurse at a fertility clinic who stole fentanyl and replaced it with saline, putting vulnerable patients through tortuous pain. We dig into the fall out, the brush off, and insane (non) consequences.

We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments, we always read them and we love them. And we love you (despite your grotesque flaws and terrible attitude).
