This is what happens to you when you take the phone’s word on what the world is really like
I did not have a lot of travel latitude but that’s mostly because I spent my adolescence in a kind of remote new suburban area and there was really no place to go without a car, though we did walk to the local grocery a couple miles away on occasion.
I was left home alone a lot from a young age due to economic necessity though. Single mom, nurse, left me home alone in charge of younger siblings during the day from probably age 11 onward, which really still seems unremarkable to me, but is virtually unheard of now.
elder millennials… i need to know the most unhinged thing our parents casually let you do as a kid that would have today’s parents absolutely clutching their Life360 app. 😂

As if a ya series written by a woman with a male protag didn’t dominate the cultural landscape for all young people from 2001-2011
Once women were able to get published pretty reliably across the west, we found that literature is a sphere wherein men and women are fairly equally represented in talent and both seem equally capable of writing good stories about the other sex.
I swear these gender discourses are crafted specifically to create friction where there is none.
Because, in general, men write fiction that appeals to everyone, regardless of whether the protagonist is a man or a woman.
In general women write things that appeal to women.
Look at it in other places. Comedy and sports are two other great examples. The majority of male comedians appeal to everyone. The majority of female comedians base their whole shtick on being a woman.

One of the most fucked up not talked parts of early motherhood is phantom crying. I’ll be enjoying a hot shower then I’ll shut it off and run because I hear screams. Only to check the baby and she’s asleep. It’s like low grade schizophrenia

I did poorly in school because I was misunderstood genius with a bitch teacher is just the chud version of being a “burnt out gifted kid”
My distant cousin in ND shared a missing person Facebook post about her stepdad “please share this and pray we find him! We love him and miss him!”
Few days went by with no update so I googled his name and he’s wanted for 2 charges of SA against his GRANDDAUGHTERS! Idk if they’re her kids or not but wtf!
One search result was a his church group that shared the missing person post and all the comments were saying “there must have been some mistake he would never do that”
😵💫

One (of the many) problem(s) with rewarding degeneracy with fame, wealth, and accolades is the terrible whiplash experienced by the degenerate when the bill finally comes due. Almost crueler than socially marginalizing them from the start.

I think my school reading lists were actually pretty balanced. We read tons of female authors: Harper Lee, Lorraine Hansberry, Shirley Jackson, Charlotte Perkins Gillman, Kate Chopin, etc.
But also it’s ok for boys and girls to like different books. They are often quite different, especially in middle school when puberty is forefront of their daily experiences and is changing them in very different ways!
& Hatchet was fun in the same way Island of the Blue Dolphins (male author but female protag) was fun! Survival stories kick ass!
It’s not about if boys want to read Hatchet. First of all, school reading lists are dominated by male authors and protagonists. Second of all, it’s the presenting books in a gendered binary that is the problem. Maybe your son could stand to read some romantasy idk!!!!

Understated red flag
when people express how hard to impress they are and how exclusive access to them is and that i'm one of the rarities that made it in that they gladly open up or give time to as to appreciate me, that's not a compliment to me at all, i don't feel special and i'm VERY scared

This the same girl who 5 minutes ago tearfully insisted “I not tired! I not do napping! No napping!”

there’s something psychologically terroristic about these kids books that are full of adult platitudes. “there’s nothing wrong with asking for help”. yeah. my 5 year old never would have thought there was. “you don’t have to be extraordinary to be loved”. do not tell my kid that

The impulse to locate the truth-content of christianity outside of history undermines the faith from within. What makes the Incarnation special is precisely its complete and total mundanity—God as a victim of imperial violence like any other widow, orphan, and slave
Question:
What if you have a good business idea
And there’s a lot of interest it
And you have the skills/background to pull it off
And “everyone’s like ok we’re ready” “when are you gonna start”
But you’re scared to take the leap?

When something is no longer too hot to eat, we tell the toddler it’s “nice and cool.” Now when she wants something cooled to an appropriate temp, she asks us to “nice it!”

That is because you are imagining someone else’s children being raised with views other than your own.
Now try to imagine you’re raising your own child (very hard to do until you have one) based on your own beliefs in a world where some people really don’t want you to do that.
Now meditate on the reality that political winds often shift quite suddenly and may indeed shift against you without any notice.
Only then can you appreciate parental rights.

I fixed this problem with a candle ritual. The candle ritual budget for Waldorf parenting can get out of control but it really is an incredible parenting hack.
Fully weaned the toddler a month ago and it honestly went fine but the thing I miss most was when I would read some long form fiction (Winnie the Pooh, Anne of Green Gables, etc) to her each night while she nursed.
After weaning, we just can’t do it. She won’t relax, keeps jumping around and ripping up the bookmark. I never really imagined she was that into the text yet but I felt like I was helping her build a muscle with the vocabulary and the attention span.
Turns out I was just entertaining myself while she nursed. ):

Free speech and parental rights are bipartisan issues because the political winds shift often. It may enrage you to see yokels raising yokels or libtards raising libtards but you oughtta thank God they can, thus guaranteeing your right to raise your kids by your own brand of schizo.

After advising yet another friend in the last few years who started her pregnancy hoping for a natural birth and ending with a c-section, which is statistically unfounded, I’ve come to the morbid realization that a woman born in this time has to have superhuman levels of agency, willpower, and the spare time/energy to educate herself to basically a collegiate level if she wants to attempt a hospital birth while avoiding iatrogenic harm in any form. If she doesn’t have these, even with all the mental and physical preparation, best intentions by her nurse midwives, or an aggro husband or doula, the cycle of intervention always chews them both up and spits them out, in one way or another, every time. There is no fixing this.
