the thing about getting married is that people are genuinely excited and happy for me and want to show up for me and I guess I kinda thought no one would really care...idk, not like they wouldn't care, but I guess the outpouring of love is exciting and surprising because I think deep down the hurt child in me thinks I'm unlovable and difficult (even when I know that's not true). It's like oh god I've been loved the whole time, big big love I am loved loved!! I'm loved like I love it's real it's true! I'm worthy!!

Imagine being an cellular egg in your mother ovary when was a fetus in your grandmothers womb technically existing for several decades and then spending 9 months in your mother as a developing fetus yourself and having a man’s names given to you after birth

I honestly think a genius marketing move for a mega corporation like, say, McDonald's...would be to vow not to advertise for one year and put that money into something else. for like one year. it could be a gimmick. and I think it would work lol. people would be like wow mcdonald's you did it <3 and then other companies would want to compete in the no ad challenge. and then I'd stop seeing ads.

huge problem with google now is it seems oriented toward buffoons with small vocabularies... the point of it seems to be to take your buffoon grunts and gestures and translate them into a guess at what you want, then funnel you toward whoever paid the most for your type of eyeballs. But i try to use the exact correct terms that i need and even with " " that works so much more poorly now

See the thing is that performing femininity DOES empower women. Most women are very aware that they are treated better when they wear makeup and dress femininely. But no man is afraid of eyeliner “sharp enough to kill a man”. No woman ever got a job over a man because she was wearing heels and he wasn’t. But women have lost opportunities and been treated like shit for not doing those things.

Female empowerment through performing femininity does not give women power over men. It gives women power over other women. That fucking sucks.

“National teacher shortage” is a fun way of saying that the USA has made a passion driven job so ungodly inhospitable that even people who “just care about teaching, not the money” don’t even care about teaching anymore.

no offense but there is almost nothing in the world more shameful to me than letting your child be an ipad baby. I'm not saying parents don't have it hard, but I personally could not live with myself if I purposefully let my child get addicted to the technological equivalent of black tar heroin just because I'm too fucking tired to parent. literacy rates are at a record low right now -- partially because schools removed phonics from their curricula, yes, but also because fewer and fewer parents read to their children or encourage them to pick up a fucking book. you are allowing your child to emotionally and intellectually stunt themselves, and for what? I'm not saying kids shouldn't have any access to television or computers (they should, although particularly for computers I'd encourage one stationary PC in a computer room like we had in the 90's and 2000's), but no, your child should not have unsupervised, unlimited, unadulterated access to everything the web has to offer at the tender age of 6. or give them some age appropriate video games for god's sake. mario or spyro or SOMETHING. something other than tiktok and youtube. call me crazy for thinking that that's shit parenting. not to mention that by only giving them access to ipads and iphones that they don't know how to work actual computers anymore (go on, ask your 12 year old to open and save a file folder on your desktop, I dare you). a generation of shitty parents who have raised emotionally stunted low-attention-span illiterate incurious apathetic children who will very soon become an entire generation of illiterate incurious apathetic voters and consumers. that's another thing, too -- your children are constantly being advertised to and are being groomed to be relentless and uncritical consumers. your children are being preyed upon on multiple levels and you don't fucking care!! easier to call people giving you warnings "prudes" and "boomers" than actually think critically about your child and their future.

look I know parenting is hard. Unfortunately for you, your child didn't ask to be born, and it is nonetheless YOUR responsibility to raise them well and give them every fucking opportunity you can. and I am watching millions and millions of parents who could not give less of a fuck that they are actually materially disadvantaging their own children. im sick to my stomach for real.
