"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012

I basically have a potential stalker situation developing and let me tell you - it sucks so bad

The things I’ve heard from them seem like they are justifying why my spouse and I are unfit parents and Baby A is in danger, and I don’t think it will escalate but also 😵‍💫 stop talking like you’re going to kidnap my baby

The biggest thing is that they keep expressing concern because my spouse goes to a virtual yaoi convention every year with their gf, and implying this makes them a pedophile. So. Thanks for that, internet discourse.

being anti-divorce is so fucking bonkers to me like yeah i think you're morally obligated to stay with some shithead who you hate forever. this is a normal and healthy thing to believe. let's have kids together and force them to grow up being raised by two people who hate each other. yeah this might fuck them up mentally during the most formative years of their life but it's the morally righteous thing to do. if there's one thing god loves it's traumatized children. i'm getting into heaven for sure

Really enjoying Friends in Real Life because I also feel extremely tired of political anger and how it impacts my wellbeing

People really need to take a wider view of this paranoia about age gaps and realise this is how we lose the ability to build communities. You need to be able to realise that people can have things in common with you even if they grew up in a different time/place/culture. You also need to realise you can build communities with people who don’t have obvious things in common with you, that people can have the same goals and needs as you even if in most ways they’re very unlike you. Now, more than ever, we need to be able to work together to have any chance to stand ip against the few who have so, so much more power, money and influence than any of us do individually. We need to form communities that reach across age (and class and race and sexuality and so on…).
