my mom took it upon herself to tell my 94-year-old grandpa about this book and he reportedly said, “i’m interested to see how laura will handle writing about sensitive topics, like the island of lesbos”

After millions of years, the greatest piece of artwork in human history has been identified. It is my mom’s middle school pencil drawing entitled “First Foal”

I think David’s point is understandable & correct, & I think the culture/social attitude (?) that breeds responses like “hey FBI, got one” or “oh, so you’re admitting you’re a rapist?” is harmful & anti-intellectual, & literally proves said point.

Honestly I’m suspicious of anyone who imagines every rapist as an evil malicious subhuman because that often means they believe themselves to be definitionally incapable of rape. Which is extremely common among rapists.

oh boy this post. tbh i cannot see motherhood with anything but horror lately. that the parasitic hormone response &/or social position can ravage your belief system & ability to love so badly needs to be discussed & made common knowledge bc good god. reddit.com/r/AttachmentParen…

obligatory note that i know these changes aren’t inevitable, but it’s clear that they’re A) unpredictable, B) uncontrollable, and C) frighteningly common, & very worth knowing about before you consider having a baby

People are hating on this, but he’s right. As a young-ish progressive, I do believe that having children is, more often than not, a drag on the good life and good work.

Replying to @Tyler_A_Harper
It is absolutely not some myth to say a certain kind of hyper-educated young-ish progressive has views that are fairly described as anti-family: that go beyond “I personally don’t want to have children,” and that frame kids as an active drag on the good life and good work. 11/
