  • I’m sorry gotta go on a tangent rant I was recently talking to a friend about pregnancy and it is fucking mind boggling. Organs shift, skeleton changes, and then all the crazy chemical stuff going on too.

    The fact that millions of women want this and many experience it more than once is just mind boggling to me.

    Eta: sorry my tangent was inspired by “childbirth is fun” but only showing the pelvis.














  • It hurts my heart. This is the society that has been built and those skills you have from necessity were completely forgotten and ignored as generations were raised.

    Now it is just too much we don’t know that yes, I could learn how to sharpen knives but teaching myself isn’t cheap. It costs the money to buy the tools, time to research, money for any mistakes, and a mental load vs “ok well I guess I can spend $20 and get a new chef knife” It sounds so simple when it is one thing but you have probably come across dozens of people lacking a skill one would assume to be basic knowledge.

    Anyway that person was just an ignoramus




  • I kinda feel like I’m taking crazy pills* I’m seeing examples of dictatorship left and right, six months after taking office, and mostly all I really see are jokes and team cheering or jeering.

    A journalist was fired for speaking against a person in political power. Not only that, the offense was just calling someone hateful. Meanwhile slurs and hateful dehumanizing names and actual made up diagnosis are used to put down anyone critical of anyone in the current administration that is currently in Trump’s good graces.

    *I’m aware that we are humans giving knee jerk reactions, and often these posts are a form of stress relief. It doesn’t stop me from feeling like Chicken Little

    I also just wanna add this journalist has some fantastic writing skills and damn now I wanna look up his entire career. I hope someone snatches him up and I’m really proud and heartened to see a public figure face the consequences of standing up to fascism and still hold their head high. To publicly say they stand by their statements and not apologize.
