#messages from knave #i don't think I'm gonna look like much of anyone on either side of my family #they were all serial smokers who grew up in slum conditions and they #all have chronic conditions that were completely untreated well into their twenties #nonenof them had access to dentistry or proper healthcare until they were well into their thirties #most of them were alcoholics for a long time #and of course they all lived around a monsanto plant for twenty years #so like. a lot of us will have our parent's features! but a lot of us will not age in the same way our parents did because society #as a whole is not being bombarded with the same level of crusty nasty bullshit it was 20 years ago
