If you decide to have kids and choose to have a co-parent, rather being a single parent, choose a co-parent who also wants kids. Having kids with someone who doesn’t want them is cursing the kids to be raised by someone who doesn’t want them, which can have significant emotional consequences.

Image description: Image is a meme, in the “they don’t know” party format. Mitch McConnell stands in the corner. The image depicts McConnell when he stopped speaking while giving a speech. People dancing say “Is he dying?” and “Is it a stroke?”. Mitch McConnell says “They don’t know I’m shitting myself”.

Being principled is not inferior, we’re being being pathologized for it because it is a threat to the corrupt powers. The existing power structures see this pattern as dangerous to them, because principled people are more likely to see through their bullshit and try to remake society in a way that is beneficial to all- which means removing evil from power. So, the powerful are using their influence in the media and medical establishment to consider principled behavior to be an undesirable symptom. So, we have to keep being principled. Keep caring. Keep resisting. Keep trying to create a better way. Keep trying to create networks, projects, and relationships based on real values, rather than harming each other, which only makes the established powers more powerful.

People treat mental health stuff like it doesn’t exist. Like if someone has a broken arm, and everyone tells them “Just stop having a broken arm!”

If only it was that easy

You make a good point about common advice often being too simplistic and generalized to be useful. And yeah, dating is rough. Glad you got better advice in the end.

I feel like the phrase “sleeping like a baby” was not created by someone who was a primary caretaker for a baby.

Thanks!

oof.

That’s fascinating. Do you have suggestions for any resources that talk about how to do this in a healthy way?

Glad you’re here with us

“The status quo is extremely unfair in my favor, get used to it pleb”

“Don’t be a quitter” is like saying “Fuck your boundaries. Stay in toxic situations no matter how bad they get.”

That’s so rude. People make such wild assumptions about other people’s lives.

I envy the people who can be themselves at work without losing their job the same day. But only a bit, because it looks incredibly boring.

Ah yes, the good ol’ “Just get over it” technique that is supposed to work for any mental health condition.

Maybe in some situations in the past owners were better to their workers, but in many cases there is an unbroken line of exploitation going back in the past. The idea that exploitation is an extremely new phenomenon benefits the owning class by concealing the long and bloody history of proletarian struggles.
