Candor Magazine

Quick Candor update! (TLDR at the end)

We’re taking a bit of a break from creating content on our website.

Our work is important to us and it turns out that producing content that does adequate justice to the subjects we cover is more time and labor intensive than we anticipated, which has kept us from posting regularly. So, we’re hitting pause on the frantic scramble to reevaluate how we produce content for Candor and we plan to come back stronger and able to make a bigger impact in a few months.

Watch for our new website content starting on May 5, 2023 and keep an eye out for our first issue of our digital magazine, which is tentatively scheduled to drop on June 14, 2023.

The good news is that we’ll still be around in the meantime here on Facebook!

You can still connect with us while we’re on our content break via our Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/candorzine) and through occasional updates on this page. And if you’re interested in showing your support for our work and want to help cover our overhead costs in the interim, our Patreon is still available at $1+/month (https://www.patreon.com/candorzine)!

Thank you for your tireless support through all of our growing pains! We can’t wait to be back with better content for you in the Spring!

See you in the FB group!

Editor-in-Chief, Candor Magazine

PS If you’re interested in helping out with any aspect of Candor, writing or otherwise, feel free to introduce yourself and your skills via email to kate @ kate reiber . com.

TLDR: Candor content is taking a breather so we can figure out how to create high-quality original content consistently. Website content will start back up on 5/5/23 and our first digital magazine issue is tentatively scheduled to drop on 6/14/23.

When it comes to disability, a lot of ableist language and tropes are perpetuated by the media. Here's what experts have to say about how to talk about disability.

Pro Lifer: Well the mother should just give the baby up for adoption if she doesn’t want the baby
Me: So who will adopt the baby?
PL: I don’t know there’s lots of couples who want to adopt
Me: Do you know any couple who is waiting to adopt?
PL: Um well not personally but like I know there’s lots of people waiting to adopt.
Me: Do you know what a domestic adoption costs?
PL: I don’t know. $15,000 maybe?
Me: The average cost of domestic adoption in the United States is $70,000 if you go through a private agency.
PL: Oh I didn’t realize it was that much
Me: Yep it’s really expensive. It can be more if you want a newborn straight from the hospital. Up to $120,000.
PL: Well all life is precious.
Me: it really is. I’ve adopted through foster care and am currently a licensed foster parent. Would you be interested in becoming a foster parent yourself?
PL: Oh no I couldn’t do it.
Me: Why not?
PL: It would just be too much for me right now.
Me: Why is that?
PL: It would be too hard to handle all the issues that came with it. I’ve heard horror stories.
Me: Yep it can be extremely difficult. But what if I told you that you were required by law to become a foster parent?
PL: what?
Me: what if you had to become a foster parent by law?
PL: they would never do that. That would never happen.
Me: Well, if a woman is forced to bear a child she doesn’t want, and she goes ahead and has that child, someone has to care for the child either through adoption or foster care. You have to do one of those two things.
PL: But I don’t want any more kids.
Me: So you don’t want someone forcing you to have a child in your home that you don’t want or aren’t able to care for?
PL: no, that’s not my job to raise someone else’s child.

There it is, folks. Have the baby, but we don’t want anything to do with it afterwards.
But, let’s ban abortion…

👏👏👏

Democrats don't have to wait until November to act.

- Codify Roe + repeal Hyde
- Expand the Court
- Impeachment hearings for Judges who lied under oath
- Abortion clinics on federal lands
- Expand access to abortion pills
- Fund Abortion Access Funds in blue states

If the CDC gives the vaccines a thumbs up on Saturday, shots will be available as early as Tuesday!!!

An FDA panel found Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccines safe and effective for the littlest children, paving the way for shots next week.

It’s not just you.

“ ‘There’s almost not a word to express the stress parents are under right now,’ says Gloria DeGaetano, a parenting expert and founder of the Parent Coaching Institute. ‘‘Overwhelmed’ doesn’t cut it. It’s beyond anything we’ve ever experienced.’”

Parents are navigating a minefield.

Did you know that it takes approximately 14,703 hours of work to produce a single issue of a digital magazine? True story.

Okay, okay, that might be a LITTLE bit of an exaggeration, but it sure feels that way when life is hectic and you're still learning the ropes of content creation and social media marketing.

Long story short, we overcommitted promising the first issue of Candor's digital magazine so soon and we need to take a step back to regroup. The first issue of Candor's digital magazine is now tentatively scheduled to be released in January 2023.

If you support the work we're trying to do and want to help with the overhead costs of running Candor in the meantime (and also get access to the digital magazine as soon as it drops), you can donate from $1+ at patreon.com/candorzine!

Thank you as always for all of your support! ♥️

Our hearts go out to the parents waking up on the one week anniversary of losing their babies to yet another mass shooting. Things have to change. We have to keep demanding change today and every day. It’s time.

This time, networks need to stay with the story of mass shootings.
