I think a big problem is that people should be having children.

Okay fair that's clickbait. Not literally. I love bc and abortion and choice. If you want to be childless that's fantastic. Full support.

But children:

a) take up a lot of your time and mental energy

b) are an act of hope and trust in the future even if that future isn't readily apparent or understandable to you

c) are a lot of fun and keep you seeing the world in new and fascinating ways

And I honestly think a big issue is that a lot of people are stuck seeing the world as something horrible and boring and not worth fighting for and they are stuck with a myopic, siloed vision of reality. Children completely upend that. You truly cannot think the world is 'futureless' when you have kids. You just can't.

And again, literal children are not the answer. But a fully consuming hobby that you treat with the same intensity and love as you would your own child is. Getting obsessed with gardening fulfills all of those briefs. Getting obsessed with baking, sewing, carpentry, rpgs, running, hiking, dance, activism etc all do the same thing. They take up your time, they give you hope and something to work towards, and they force you to see a richer more beautiful world.

Most consuming hobbies ask the same thing of you as kids: waking up early, physical and emotional discomfort, learning at a breakneck pace, a community you might not entirely get along with but need to rely on anyway, a kind of fulfilling, radical, self-actualizing love for the world, gross practicalities of life like poop and death up front, intergenerational knowledge, and access to more energy than you ever thought possible.

The issue isn't that people aren't having children. It's that people, humans, are supposed to be actively learning and growing in partnership with each other. We used to all have kids and that was a common thread. And thankfully we have a choice on that issue. But we are still human and we still need something to occupy our time. The more we remove ourselves from community, creation, and hope the bleaker the world seems.

But it's really beautiful out there. I promise you.

so my bf has an interview today and things are looking pretty good for him. but then again, things had been looking good other times too so i'm even more nervous and anxious and scared this time around.

we've been struggling so much these past few months since we're making ends meet on just my salary and my sister has been helping out but things have looked so bleak at times, idk if i got any more hope left in me.

i need good vibes so many good vibes. 🥺

tbh Zelda's "I think I just need to freak out for a little bit" line in Belles of the Baronies might be one of my favorite lines from her; peak "I'm not fine but it's fine" phrasing

Late night magenta.

veilguard thoughts continue to be mixed but mostly boil down to "ehh."

[bookwyrminspiration]

hey anyone got any hobbies or anything to recommend; I’ve got extra energy and need to find something to do with it so I don’t explode. tactile or more movement involved would be nice but not required—this is a genuine request I am brainstorming and seeking input

[radgeorgie]

at least i have a lipton iced tea to look forward too

nooooo, not my family making me relive good ol' trauma and simultaneously make me think 'welp it could have been much worse in a way i got it easy' while also being homophobic, is like they want to make a bingo
