Hannah Jacoby-Brook

“I guess I’ll lactate…[longer parts of title not included for briefness]” is my way of coping with my swelling and pulsating ovaries and the desire to reproduce a delightful bundle of joy. While I am frothing at the mouth to have a baby, the world is on fire (the sweater neck is long enough so I can’t see it burn and to protect from the CO2), I have a crippling caffeine addiction, and I feel complicated with the narrative of having children. Am I just being hit with familial pressure, biological clock, and baby fever? Maybe, I need more research.”
