Anonyme À 37 ans, je me protège en secret pour ne plus retomber enceinte. Une seule amie est au courant, parce qu’il y a quelques jours, j’ai fini par lui en parler au milieu d’une conversation, et sa réaction m’a immédiatement fait me sentir jugée. Elle m’a dit que j’avais tort, que ce genre de décision devait se prendre entre mon mari et moi, que cacher quelque chose d’aussi important était malhonnête. Mais honnêtement, après y avoir longuement réfléchi, je suis arrivée à une conclusion : si je ne veux plus d’enfants, je n’en aurai pas. Mon fils est né quand j’avais 20 ans. Je suis littéralement passée du statut de jeune fille à celui de mère du jour au lendemain. Pendant que mes amies sortaient, voyageaient ou essayaient encore de comprendre ce qu’elles voulaient faire de leur vie, moi, je passais mes nuits blanches à changer des couches et à apprendre à élever un bébé, tout en essayant de comprendre ma propre vie d’adulte. Je ne regrette pas d’avoir eu mon fils. Je l’aime profondément. Mais je ne vais pas non plus romantiser à quel point cela a été difficile. Mon mari et moi sommes partis de rien. Il y a eu des années où nous avions à peine de quoi payer le loyer et acheter à manger. J’ai laissé des études inachevées, j’ai travaillé en vendant des vêtements, en faisant des ongles, en cuisinant sur commande… tout ce qui pouvait rapporter un peu d’argent. Très souvent, je veillais tard après avoir couché mon fils parce qu’il fallait survivre. Pendant ce temps, lui continuait à travailler normalement, à sortir normalement et à vivre une vie beaucoup plus proche de celle qu’il avait avant. Oui, il aidait financièrement et oui, il a toujours été un père présent, mais le poids le plus lourd de la maternité est toujours retombé sur moi. C’est moi qui ai abandonné des opportunités professionnelles pour m’occuper de notre fils. Moi qui ai passé des années sans dormir correctement. Moi qui ai appris à vivre en étant constamment épuisée. Moi qui ai vécu avec cette culpabilité permanente : culpabiliser de trop travailler, de ne pas assez travailler, de le laisser, de ne pas le laisser. Et aujourd’hui, après dix-sept années à élever un enfant, j’ai enfin l’impression d’entrer dans une autre étape de ma vie. Mon fils est grand maintenant. Il sort seul, il a ses amis, il ne dépend plus entièrement de moi. J’ai recommencé à ressentir une certaine liberté. J’ai recommencé à prendre soin de moi, à sortir, à penser à des projets personnels et même à moi en tant que femme, pas uniquement en tant que mère. Mais depuis quelque temps, mon mari reparle de l’idée d’avoir un autre enfant. Au début, je pensais que c’était juste une remarque passagère, mais il insiste de plus en plus. Il m’envoie des vidéos de bébés, parle de « recommencer une nouvelle vie », dit que maintenant nous avons une meilleure stabilité financière et que ce serait merveilleux d’avoir une petite fille. Et chaque fois qu’il parle de ça avec enthousiasme, moi, je ressens de l’angoisse. Parce que lui parle de bébés adorables, de petits vêtements et de photos de famille, alors que moi, ce dont je me souviens, ce sont les nuits sans sommeil, l’épuisement, la peur permanente, les années durant lesquelles j’ai complètement disparu en tant que personne parce que toute ma vie tournait autour de l’éducation d’un enfant. Les gens pensent que lorsqu’une femme ne veut plus d’enfants, c’est parce qu’elle déteste la maternité ou parce qu’elle est égoïste. Et ce n’est pas ça. Je sais simplement ce qu’implique réellement le fait d’avoir un enfant. J’ai déjà vécu cette étape jusqu’au bout. J’ai déjà consacré presque toute ma jeunesse à élever un enfant. Il y a quelques mois, je suis allée seule à un rendez-vous médical et j’ai décidé de me protéger sans lui en parler. Honnêtement, je ne me sens pas coupable. Parce que même si je sais que les enfants sont une décision qui devrait se discuter dans un couple, je pense aussi à une chose : la grossesse se passe dans mon corps, l’accouchement, c’est moi qui le vis, et la charge physique comme émotionnelle repose principalement sur moi. Mon amie m’a dit quelque chose qui m’a fait réfléchir : « Et si lui, il veut vraiment un autre enfant ? » Et honnêtement, je comprends son point de vue. Mais moi aussi, je me pose une question : pourquoi, lorsqu’une femme ne veut plus recommencer à zéro avec la maternité, finit-on toujours par lui faire sentir qu’elle est une mauvaise personne ? Parfois, j’ai l’impression que beaucoup de gens pensent que parce qu’une femme a déjà eu un enfant, elle doit automatiquement être disponible pour en avoir autant que son mari le souhaite. Mais moi, je me connais. Je sais ce que cela m’a coûté d’élever un enfant si jeune. Je sais tout ce que j’ai sacrifié. Et sincèrement, je ne veux pas revivre cela.

There’s a shoe that adjusts and expands five sizes and lasts a child up to five years. It was invented by a young American named Kenton Lee, who was volunteering at an orphanage outside Nairobi, Kenya in 2007. Walking to church one day with the children, he looked down at a girl beside him in a white dress and saw she’d cut open the front of her shoes so her toes could stick out. Her feet had outgrown them and no new ones were coming. He went home to Idaho and spent the next six years figuring out how to build a shoe that could grow with a child. Nike, Adidas, Crocs, and Toms all turned the idea down. He ended up buying 20 pairs of Crocs himself and cutting them up to prototype it. The Shoe That Grows finally launched in 2014. Around 400,000 pairs have now been distributed in over 100 countries. Over 1.5 billion people worldwide get sick from soil parasites that enter the body through bare or exposed feet. Mostly children.

I don't understand why it's incumbent on me, a citizen of the United States, to not call the US Supreme Court partisan? It's incumbent upon the US Supreme Court to prove to the people that they are not partisan every single day, and they have FAILED that test.

Just read now! I just ruined three people's grades, and one is losing their scholarship. Am I wrong for this? I was in a 4-person group project worth 40% of our final grade. From week 2, I was doing EVERYTHING: research, slides, speaker notes. My teammates just kept responding 'sounds good' and contributing absolutely nothing. I documented every single unread receipt and empty contribution log. I even warned them TWICE, in writing, about the consequences. We still got an A on the project But then I sent the professor all the documentation and asked for individual grading. I kept my A. Two dropped to Cs. The third? Their grade dropped below the threshold and they're losing their scholarship. But what would you have done when they did nothing all semester?

Mesmerizing glimmers of reality as we’d rather it. “The crystal and silver gleamed flawlessly” - 🌟🌟
Sophia Proneikos@Pergament_F

I am sitting in the local restaurant by the beach, drinking my afternoon coffee with that peculiar slowness which the sea imposes upon a person almost violently, as though the very air along the shore gradually dismantles the internal mechanism of anxiety and transforms even a Tuesday into a small Black Sea celebration of idleness. Outside it is warm in that soft and slightly indulgent way characteristic of coastal towns, where people never seem entirely convinced that labor is humanity’s highest virtue. Cats are sunbathing on the stones with the philosophical self-satisfaction of creatures that long ago understood how absurd human haste truly is. Seagulls are screaming with such dramatic fury over a fish head as though they are not fighting over leftover mackerel, but over the inheritance of the Roman Empire itself. And the people are watching this maritime theater with the lazy pleasure of an audience instinctively aware that the true meaning of life has probably never been located inside offices. And while I sip my coffee and laugh to myself, I begin wondering how P. G. Wodehouse and Marcel Proust would describe this scene, which is probably a reliable symptom that one reads far too much literature and spends far too little time engaged in practical activities. Wodehouse would undoubtedly transform the entire situation into an exquisite comedy of civilized absurdity. In his eyes the seagulls would resemble two slightly drunken British aristocrats prepared to kill one another over the final kidney at breakfast in a provincial club, while the cats would possess that cold and contemptuous dignity of aunts who for years have considered all humanity a vast organizational mistake. And I myself would probably be described as a man who originally stepped out for one peaceful coffee, but gradually found himself trapped in a complex moral and metaphysical crisis caused by excessive quantities of sunlight, sea air, and observation of seagulls. Then Proust arrives, of course, and suddenly the atmosphere grows heavy with aristocratic sensitivity and an almost painful attention to detail. For him the warmth of the afternoon would not simply be weather, but a psychological condition; the sea would not merely murmur, but would remind one of something lost long before it had ever truly been possessed. A single seagull landing beside the table would probably awaken the memory of some long-dead duchess, the scent of salt upon a woman’s gloves during the summer of 1894, a dinner at which nobody had been genuinely happy although the crystal and silver had gleamed flawlessly. And perhaps this is precisely the difference between the English and the French soul. The Englishman sees absurdity and laughs. The Frenchman sees beauty and begins suffering elegantly. And I simply sit there between them with my coffee, watching cats defeat philosophy and seagulls humiliate dignity, thinking that perhaps civilization is not yet entirely lost if an ordinary Tuesday by the sea is still capable of making a person think about literature instead of work.

@Suzierizzo1 @AcornKtn The Democrats knew all along what was happening. They didn’t feel that it was necessary to share the numbers with the voting public. Not until they had received all the donations they could possibly amass.

Do you think that the 2024 election was rigged & stolen from Kamala Harris? Don’t forget Trump saying that he didn’t need anymore votes or Elon telling Rogen that he developed a custom app to show him the real time results.People voted & it didn’t count for her in swing States.

At 85, Irma Thomas is STILL singing and swinging. New Orleans should have an annual Irma Thomas Day. Grammy folks — honor this Queen of Soul on the televised awards while she’s here to feel the love, not in some memorial after she’s gone. 👑🎶

Everything in nature seeks out the sun. Flowers turn to face it. Trees grow towards it. Animals leave their burrows to graze in it. Lizards spend half the day arranged on rocks to soak it up. Two and a half million years of human evolution happened with the sun on our skin. Now we slather petrochemicals on the body to block it, sit indoors under fluorescent strips, and supplement the vitamin D we used to make for free. Then we wonder why everything aches and nothing works.
