the losing dogs and i are engaging in insider trading

people just hate children. it's a sorry state of affairs. they hate children being starved and bombed overseas. they hate children laughing and playing in the park. they hate their own kids, whom they popped out because social norms told them it was an obligate milestone for their own enrichment and not the creation of another human being whose life then takes priority over theirs. they don't want to be around children, they don't want to raise them, they are always foisting them onto someone else and no one wants to take them. they hate children even though we were all children once and most of us probably know, in some way or another, how withering it felt to be a hated child, whether it was some stranger on a bus telling us to shut up in an isolated incident or our parents resenting the fact that we existed. nothing will get better if we don't stop hating children and start seeing every child anywhere as a vulnerable citizen we ought to look out for. our society is only as healthy as the poorest, loneliest child in it.

baby's first everything ever

I still think pregnancy and childbirth should be degendered. we stopped talking about that and I need us to pick it back up pls

Even if you manage to find a supportive healthcare team, this shit is unavoidable. When I gave birth, the hospital software couldn't monitor labor (including monitoring vitals for parent and baby) for patients with an M marker. They called tech support for the company that makes it and were told that there was no way to do it. They had to monitor my multi-day labor on a Jane Doe profile, completely disconnected from all of my health info.

June and July are the same months btw. They want you to think they're two different months but it's the same month that's 60 days long. Same way August is actually August and the first half of September

i think elvis impersonation deserves the same level of respect & recognition that we reserve for tai chi. theyre basically the same thing

this is honestly such a good idea

Signal boost.....

the fact that on my way out of seeing the hadestown proshot with my sibling i was walking to the theater exit and without even thinking about it i turned around to see where they were... yeah. yeah.

like. you can be frustrated at orpheus. you can be heartbroken for orpheus and eurydice. you should be. but when you're walking together and your loved one isn't right next to you that instinct to turn around and check on them is as natural as breathing
