Two reminders: 1. murder is worse than rioting. 2. Rioting could be prevented if you stopped the murders.

The ticket can’t just feel good it needs to do good. -free Palestine -invest in community rather than policing : schools, libraries, infrastructure (that’s failing btw), CHILDCARE

As someone dating in my late 30s I co-sign having deal breaker convos like kids early and also CANNOT believe women get painted as baby hungry, NO ONE is thirstier for babies than 30 something men 😂😭

Replying to @offbeatorbit
And honestly I’m surprised by how long some younger couples (like say 20s) wait to have frank conversations about this. I think there’s this impression among women who want kids that asking about that early makes you look baby hungry but man who gives a shit? It’s YOUR time.

Public goods cost. That’s fine. They aren’t businesses, they are investments in people and quality of life

The viral church thing obviously demonstrates the contradictions and hypocrisies in American Christianity but I think it also highlights another quiet barrier to supporting programs like snap which is the ILLUSION that there is more help out there than there is. I’ve heard people

Got my year end daycare statement. 😭 just under $21,000.00 for my two kids this year. reminder that maternity leave and FREE universal childcare is a feminist issue, an equity issue, a racial and economic justice issue. not advocating for those is anti woman and anti child.

Hardest co-sign of my life! Beyond being invasive, it gets in the way of your own ability to move on! Block people!

I don’t know what any of my exes are doing. I don’t know what any of my former friends are doing. and you’re not supposed to! there was a time when you just never saw a person again. I’m nostalgic for those times. disappear like a ghost! woooo!

I grew up around it too but for the safety of all on trains, it’s important to make the distinction between feeling unsafe and actually being unsafe.

A narrative I loathe is the shaming of folks who feel unsafe on the trains. As someone who grew up around addiction and who lost a sister to it, being in an enclosed space with drug use *feels* very unsafe. It is triggering, anxiety-inducing, and a reason I avoid the trains.

I feel this way and it informs the advice i give. Cheating is shitty interpersonal behavior but the way people want folks to lose jobs, etc over very common / private behavior is weird. Not to mention, cheating is hardly the only / worst interpersonal bad behavior so???

I think a lot of people hear capitalist criticism as “I don’t want you to be able to accumulate wealth” and the reality is I don’t want you to have to. Wealth hoarding is a tactic that isn’t necessary where meeting needs and community care are prioritized.

The “she’s crazy and just mad I don’t want her anymore” framing is such a 🚩. It’s so transparent I actually get alarmed when I hear men describe an ex this way even sans abuse accusations.
