This is a fascinating connection, you should write a paper on this

I am convinced that, in general, people want to have families. Many, if not most, would be happy to raise children. But in order to have children and raise them, especially to do so well, people need happy, stable relationships, financial security and time to devote to - you know - actually raising the child. You need both money and time to do that. If people are not given the time and means to be able to create social connections and strong relationships, to devote to parenthood and family, then they are not going to do it. How can they?

If anything Millennials are out there trying to prove that we’re better potential parents than our parents were, because we’re practicing safe sex, using contraception and abortion to make sure we’re not bringing a child into a life that’s a financial mess where we’re working too many hours to even raise the kid. Prior generations complain that we were raised by TV and video games, and that may be true, but the thing is, we know that the reason we had to be raised by TV and video games is that their workaholic butts were never home to do it themselves, and we’re not going to do that to the next kids. And that may mean not having kids until conditions are right.

im a snail and god is salting me

I think about this post every time the lights at work are too bright and hurt my eyes

getting bullied at art school is the worst bc not only are you getting picked on by people who post voltron discourse but every mean thing they say to you is verbatim lifted from a text post you’ve already seen and that has damaged my self respect in a way that nothing else ever could

knowing i am lower on the college food chain than 20 year olds who say “weird flex but okay” and “sure jan” in real life has done irreparable psychological damage

I can’t wrap my head around art school bullies

i said i hate anime and now they want me dead

Oh I thought they were just being mean you didn’t tell me you provoked them
