This is so awesome!!

I donate monthly to the instance I’m signed up with and I hope more of them follow suit with what you guys are doing!

That’s so cool, thank you very much!! 😁

People generally assume stay at home parents only choose that if their spouses make a lot of money, that they are bored or unsatisfied with their life, and that it’s a job that is very hard and not much fun.

Obviously I don’t speak for SAHPs and maybe these things do apply to some, but my life is freakin awesome! We choose to live very simply and frugally on a single below average income and it is completely worth it every single day for us.

I have so much control over my own schedule, I can’t get enough of spending time with my kid and have so much fun with them, I have more time for my own interests, self care or friendships when my spouse can take over at times after work, we get fun family time all together almost every day because we don’t have to spend all evening cooking and cleaning (plus our schedule is more flexible), and this is the only job where everything I do all day long directly benefits myself and my loved ones (beyond financial support).

There is genuinely nothing in the world I would trade for this. But man do I get tired of the negative comments from nearly everyone who finds out what I do.

I’m totally hearing this in the voices of Stan and Cartman from South Park

I thought I was the only person who felt that way! It makes me so angry when people with spouses and kids or even parents who love them do hyper dangerous sports. Like surely there has to be something more worth doing that doesn’t orphan your children??

(Obviously any sport has some risk as do things like driving, I’m referring to things like free diving or free climbing where there’s no way to have a real safety net)

Omg literally a shower thought

They are so genuinely funny and I watch them both because of that and because I’m happy he’s able to make a living from his material!

Wonderful news 🥰 It is sad that some countries are going the other direction right now with their laws (such as Poland and Italy), but I really do believe we are on a slow but steady track to global marriage equality.

It’s actually more dangerous (for the pregnant person) to abort than to deliver at that age. Not saying the punishment makes sense but most babies can survive being born after 22 weeks so it is understandable to classify it as a type of murder or even manslaughter.

Unless the outrage is about the pregnant person being sentenced rather than the one who performed the abortion, in which case no wonder they’re so upset

I generally can’t afford monthly streaming services but I can occasionally afford to donate 2-5 dollars to someone who made a show available to me 🤷

Say Goodnight Kevin, we miss you 😭

Thanks I hate it

Oh wow you rock! I definitely followed the snack exchange saga for a while before switching over here

What subs did you mod? I wanna watch the trainwreck 😂

I imagine this is related to their shrinking population and not having enough young people to fill the jobs?

Lol have a Lemmy Silver! 🥈

I would do anything to have been able to save them… I am anti war, anti genocide, pro universal healthcare; pro-life shouldn’t just refer to one issue and it’s awful that the rhetoric has gone that way

Here and absolutely and completely horrified… Pro-life for ALL life

I love Bookwyrm!!

Because the porn industry is rife with exploitation and trafficking and underage individuals and exploiting addictions and sexual abuse?? Come on it’s not that difficult to put the pieces together.
