12 weeks of paid leave funded by a payroll tax and not some weird tax the rich scheme is good actually.

I’m begging millennial women to do as little parenting as their grandmothers did.

Graham Platner cannot be Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine. Running an outted Nazi as your nominee is political suicide, and my guess is that it would seriously depress Democratic turnout because most Democrats have no interest in supporting an exposed Nazi.

DESANTIS: “In Florida, our policies are very simple, zero tolerance for exploitation of our kids. And that includes us instituting under my tenure, the death penalty for pedophiles. I think that that's an appropriate punishment when you're doing this to these young kids.”


You’ve got a candidate in the race who points the finger when it comes to utility costs, but hasn’t even attempted to PASS a SINGLE piece of standalone legislation to deal with the problem. You’ve got a candidate running to be Mayor who has made lofty campaign promises but hasn’t delivered for their OWN Ward. I have the experience needed to reform the current system and will do so as Mayor of DC. And I won’t legislate via TikTok and instagram. When I told you I would fight and deliver for this city, I meant it. #FreeDC @freedcproject_

Unfortunately I think many leftists learned the wrong lesson that bc many centrists used “political strategy” arguments as a fig leaf for supporting neoliberal austerity & the military that somehow the left doesn’t need to be politically strategic in moving politics to the left.

Parents used to ride with their toddlers in covered wagons for days across the country with no screens and parents today don’t think it’s possible to get through an hour dinner without an iPad


I hope you all know that parents can create a dynamic with their child where they never lie ONLY to their parents, but contextually know to lie to others. That’s how narcissism evolves. Also learning how to lie is a natural progress as children, it isn’t a negative trait. It’s about teaching children context of who to lie to & why they should like to them, ie: strange adult.

A lot of postpartum depression would look very different if women didn’t have useless partners. You can’t dump a newborn, the house, and the entire mental load on one woman and then act shocked when she’s drowning. That’s not hormones, that’s a bad partner.

People HATE to admit that this is the way babies are meant to sleep… with their mother.

The most important thing is not to have a man in your house. Men do not belong in women's houses. They should have their own attached shed or barn. If you ask most heterosexual men, they would like this too. They could decorate their little barn however they like (one chair and one fork, usually) and install big TVs they can have blaring. Let us all unite to ban men from women's living spaces 🙏

Using headphones is no longer just considered proper etiquette, it's now a requirement on United Airlines flights. United says passengers who use speakers and refuse to wear headphones could be removed from flights and even face a lifetime ban.The airline says travelers who don't have headphones can request a free pair from flight attendants.


I am unfortunately developing a disgust reflex towards weddings & marriage. The diamonds, the humiliation ritual engagement photo sessions, the posed intimacy, the exotic destinations. All for show. To post and to outdo. Love is a costume. The union is not sacred, it’s not the entire purpose; it’s just the consequence of a big aesthetic party


Did not realize that paid maternity leave in some blue states now stacked up so well against other countries known for more generous social welfare.

im still trying to figure out what the mythical “third space for teens” is that was apparently 100% free, abundantly entertaining, provided food/snacks and wasn’t educational. people keep talking about this place like it existed but never can give an example of what it was 😭
