"Things happen to our bodies that are not always necessarily our choice." Yes, and things happen to the bodies of babies in utero that are never in any sense their choice. Your point, Jane?
You know, this Christmas past we were so blessed to have both sons and their families come home for the holiday.
As proud as I am of my husband, and of what I've accomplished professionally since the boys grew up, I'll always count our children (and now, GrandPunks) as our greatest blessing.
Hruska MacPherson (I swear by all that's holy that I did not make this name up) will be the first to tell you she lives an almost comically rarefied life. She met her husband at a party at the Spotted Pig (“At the rape room before we knew it was the rape room”). They live with their two kids in a former butcher shop in the Meatpacking District, and have BEAT THE SYSTEM etched inside their wedding bands.
Things took a political turn for Lingua Franca after Trump initiated the January 2017 travel ban. At the time, the brand had three F.I.T. students from Iran who were sewing for the company. When Hruska MacPherson came into the office, they were crying, wondering if they could ever go home or see their families again. “It was the first time in my white privileged life I had politics affect me. It’s insane and ridiculous, but it’s the truth,” Hruska MacPherson says. So she told the F.I.T. students to channel their feelings into embroidery and made a sweater that read I MISS BARACK. Hruska MacPherson owed Anna Carter, wife of Graydon, a gift for writing her family a preschool recommendation, and gave the sweater to her. (“Anna’s really sophisticated, and it was camel-y color,” she notes.) Thousands of email orders followed, and just like that, Lingua Franca became the official cashmere of the resistance.

Speaking of 'killing your children': did you see this?
