Grace Lavery / Joseph Lavery & Daniel M. Lavery / Mallory Ortberg - "Straight with extra steps" couple trooning out to avoid "dwindling into mere heterosexuality"

[isalaide]

The little one seems to be trying to root in every picture, presumably in the hope of finding someone who is actually able to lactate or even smells like a mother

 

[behindyourightnow]

Joe has responded to the Cass Review, the UK report that advises no more puberty blockers and ideally no hormones before 18. The Labour Party has already committed to implementing all the recommendations if they take Parliament next.

Notice that Joe was sure to add in that he is "aroused" by trans treatment, after specifying that he is responding to a review centered around the treatment of children.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

The fact that Joe needs to go back to Berkley in California and Lilly needs to go back to Michigan will be a nice little trial of love. And by that I mean Joe is about to poly cheat on everyone.

Will he straight up dump Lilly once he's away for a while after a few months of screaming baby Rocco? Will he actually go back to her because he likes the idea of a son? I know Mallory is dumped only when she stops being useful so I'm not worried about them.

He might like the idea of a son but the reality is a whole other ball of wax. Even mature, responsible parents get tired of the attention babies need and demand 24/7 for several years, but this Joe we are dealing with. It will be painfully intolerable to a man who is unceasingly thirsty for attention.

In an ironic twist the baby might bring Mal and Joe closer together, because Lilly will be tied to the baby. Recent quotes don’t lead me to believe Mal is interested in being a nanny or a “legal parent” in any way. She can nope out the easiest, which must worry Joe. He’d probably follow wifey right out the door than be stuck raising little Rocco for the next decade. The alarm bell signaling the two year Lilly infatuation is over is ringing in Joe’s male brain. This is probably one reason she wanted to have a baby. Joe is not going to maintain much interest in a woman past the 2-3 year mark, just ask Mal or Joe’s two ex-wives.

 

[monstrous bubo]

Au contraire, Rocco will be pretty normal in the boho bourgeois circles of his parents. Wherever they end up, they’ll try to find a kweer friendly community and a progressive school where they can dump the kid to learn right think.

 

[OttoWest]

And not just for looks either.

 

[TheMonkeyMan]

Reminder that Joe is only 41.

Reminder that Joe is only 41.

It really does make one wonder wtf Lilly is thinking. She claims to masturbate to “Killing Eve” which would led one to believe she’s attracted to well groomed, adult women, but she is fucking a fat, sloppy, homely dowager looking creature with a penis, moobs and beer gut.

Does she close her eyes and imagine Joe is Jodie Comer with a strap-on?

If Grima lost the chiseled jaw line and gained some flappy jowls and weak chin you’d be very close to Joe.

Joe has posted the NY Mag article with a suitably psychotic caption (text under the spoiler below):

Spoiler: text

So, yesterday The Cut published a little story about our family, and I haven’t really wanted to do too much about the fact but this photo is lovely (thundering Valkyrie tran is a look I will try more often), and Choire, who wrote the piece, is one of the subtlest and most gently probing prose stylists out there. It was a pleasure to be nudged by his pen. I love New York City, and I love my family, and I love my apartment—I’ve never felt more productive or more settled than I have since I got here a few years ago, and finally felt like I was ready to do the writing I’ve always wanted to do. “Power” is not the property of the individual, or the family; it’s the force of the city, embarrassing as that cliche may be to repeat. I mean, Langston Hughes said it right and beautiful and true. It’s such a gift that little Rocco, who is, in fact, objectively the sweetest and mildest child who ever sucked a tit, will get to live here for a spell, and drink in the vigor, hustle, overwhelm, and justiciability of this place, to pour his work and sweat into the channels laid down for him. Thank you, New York, and New York Magazine, for making us (and him) feel so welcome. xoxo

NYC is the most difficult environment in the United States to raise a baby, and yet this is the second time in recent weeks that Joe has rhapsodized about how much he loves it. (Previous instance here.) Meanwhile, Mallory in NY Mag seems to be ready to admit that it's untenable:

“We were kind of talking about if we are not able to make it work, we’ll go where we have to. But I would love to get to stay here if possible.”

Somehow I doubt that Mallory's near-minimum-wage weekend gig is gonna be enough to support a family. I really think that Joe is gearing up to make the case that he simply neeeeeeeeeeds to be in NYC in order to be a whole, self-actualized Joe. He will try to delay or disrupt the necessary/inevitable move.

Side note, lol @ Joe describing himself in that hideous picture as a "thundering Valkyrie." More like lumbering alkie, amirite?

@Trianon already posted this above but I invite you all to take a second look at the body language, Joe and Lily snuggled together with their baby while our li'l tard baby clings to the outside:

Man. Pathetic. Sucks to be her. She must feel like she'll have nothing left without Joe.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

I fucked up quoting @Potatis Salad

Man. Pathetitc. Sucks to be her. She must feel like she'll have nothing left without Joe.

She really doesn’t have anything left without Joe, which was his entire plan. Mallory burned it all down which is why I think she’s sunk so low to go along with Lilly moving in and now living in a small nyc flat with her husband’s girlfriend’s new baby. I think it’s even more painful to her to realize her family would forgive her and welcome her back. It would be far easier if they behaved like she did and hated and shunned her.

I predict Lilly will be living in Michigan full time by the time Rocco is two. Weird forced visits to NYC where resentful Lilly insists Joe play momdad for a few days.

How this shitshow pans out for Mallory in the next few years I have no idea. I do wonder if she has any social life outside of Joe’s influence. I think any casual friends and acquaintances from her past have either fucked off or know any real talk with her would get them iced out. She definitely lives in a small woke echo chamber, any common sense, honesty or well meaning criticism is deemed transphobic.

Her current life has far more rigid conformity and group think than liberal, theological soft gloved Christianity she was raised in, it’s also far more gung ho about shunning than most Christian denominations. Joe has displaced Dad Ortberg as is the pastor of her new theology in a bizarre Orwellian way.

Has Nicole Cliffe congratulated the polycule on their new arrival? The last I recall Nicole had taken on some bizarre new MTF trans bestie or lover, has that ended in flames and transphobia yet? You’d think Nicole would be eager to get her kids together to meet her bestie’s husband’s girlfriend new baby. I figured any honest conversations Nicole might have ever had with Mallory ended long ago. Joe liked Nicole’s money, but he loathed everything else about her and Mallory’s friendship.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

I knew a woman who glommed on to a polyamorous married couple and was their "third" while the wife went through pregnancy and childbirth. Nice for the husband to not have to worry his sex supply would be disrupted, I suppose.

A year or so later, after she'd well and truly maternally imprinted on the baby, the couple kicked her out of the relationship and she never saw the baby again, even after being the person who'd been there for more of the baby's milestones than the kid's actual parents. It was devastating. She never got involved again with polyamorous people, but what a hellish way to learn that lesson.

Nicole had publicly taken up a sexual/polyamorous relationship with the 400-lb Micah "Gretchen" Felker-Martin around the same time she had a huge public meltdown over a Diva Cup getting stuck in her uterus (not vagina). Nicole freaked out online over how doctors ignored and dismissed her as she was literally dying in front of their eyes. Finally, the Diva Cup de-suctioned and emerged from her uterus during sex with her husband. Here (archive) is a summary with a lot of quotes from the now-deleted saga she posted on Instagram.

It's completely fucking schizo, of course. It's physically impossible for a Diva Cup to reverse-birth itself through a cervix and into a uterus. Nicole attributed some extreme weight loss to the uterine Diva Cup "eating [her] fat and muscles". She vowed to crusade against the doctors who'd dismissed her.

A couple of weeks after it happened, she stopped interacting with Micah/"Gretchen" on Instagram. She quietly deleted all mentions of him and of the Diva Cup saga. I believe that everything--her weight loss, the sexual energy towards a super morbidly obese troon, forgetting a Diva Cup in her vagina, her delusions of the Diva Cup migrating to her uterus--can all be explained by a manic episode.

Oh, it was definitely a manic episode probably with a side helping of stimulants.

I just wasn’t sure if she had managed to implode any aspect of her life during it. Maybe Steve started having the help slip lithium in her herbal tea. I just wasn’t sure if the marriage would withstand the bizarre behavior and weird, fat troon lover adventure. I think Steve views Nicole’s behavior as one would an errant child being naughty for attention. (It probably was to get his attention or punish him tbh) She certainly picked the least threatening man on earth to have a fake affair with - an obese, broke, troon.

Since I brought her up I checked her IG which is privated. Does she still give heart emojis and likes to Mallory’s updates. I’d love to know how she felt about Joe’s new baby with his girlfriend.

Look out, Choire, Joe has you in his sights. Adding a gay man to the throuple would give Joe the full range of of fuck-mates.

Oop.

little Rocco, who is, in fact, objectively the sweetest and mildest child who ever sucked a tit, will get to live here for a spell, and drink in the vigor, hustle, overwhelm, and justiciability of this place, to pour his work and sweat into the channels laid down for him.

I hope little Rocco turns out to be Alex P. Keaton and decides to be an accountant.

Joe and Lily snuggled together [...]while our li'l tard baby clings to the outside:

Like all of their pictures.

Nicole

Nicole is an absolute lunatic.

 

[monstrous bubo]

Master and servant.

Tard baby’s t-shirt is inside out. Isn’t anyone supervising her in case she resumes eating paste, wax fruit and snot? Rocco however has come correct.

What WAS that bit about her sleeping with a t shirt tied over her head or something to that effect? It sounded like something a lunatic would do. I guess they were trying to make her sound like some kind of fussbudget dandy, a Poirot type character with the mustache wax and white gloves. It's the lowest low budget knockoff of that, at the very best.

 

[Bookwork]

Yesterday, Joe was to present his rescheduled Johns Hopkins U summer fellows talk for the Women, Gender, and Sexuality program, "The Pedophile's Complaint: Hoax News in the Neoliberal Decade." https://krieger.jhu.edu/wgs/event/grace-lavery/ Perhaps he Zoomed it? Or perhaps "NEW DATE" means re-rescheduled.

No sign of an audio or text version being available. I have dutifully inquired of the program's spox as to where I may seek this fine example of erudition.

 

[Diana Moon Glampers]

He said the baby was on a trip to Baltimore, so that checks out. Don't think he Zoomed in.

Because the throuple needed more media mentions about their suck-a-tit acquisition?

 

[Potatis Salad]

Sounds like an absolute nightmare to travel with a one-week-old baby. They don't have the hang of caring for him yet. And Lily's body would still be recovering whether she had a vaginal delivery or a c-section.

The only sensible thing to do would be for Joe to go to Baltimore alone, do his speaking engagement, and get back ASAP. I bet they weren't willing to do that because Lily and Mal did not want to be left alone together. lmao, what a liberated power throuple these clowns are!

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

They will get attention, most people are pretty stunned (or horrified) to see a week old baby being drug out in public…esp in Baltimore of all cities.

There’s a reason most people keep newborns out of public spaces, public transport, restaurants and crowds the first month or two. Walks outdoors are great for newborns, enclosed spaces indoors with strangers are not.
