Natalists: So worried for my child's future. When they're old enough to understand I will tell them how sorry I am for bringing them into this mess 😔
Natalists: Whoopsie, pregnant again! 😌

To Every Single Parent: You Will Traumatize Your Child. Own It.
No one wants to hear this, but it remains true regardless: You will traumatize your child. Not might. Not maybe. You will.
You are not perfect. You are not healed. You are not exempt from the consequences of your choices. And yet you brought a human being into the world, not for their sake, but for your own. Maybe it was for love. Maybe for legacy. Maybe by accident. But it was never for them, because they did not exist to ask for it.
That’s the uncomfortable truth at the root of parenthood: it begins with a profoundly selfish act. You created a person who did not consent to be created and now they must survive the consequences of your imperfections.
So when they grow old enough to speak of their wounds—of the ways you failed them, hurt them, neglected or misunderstood them—your job is not to argue. It is not to defend your intentions or seek reassurance that you “did your best.” Your job is to listen.
Because your “best” does not erase the damage. Your “love” does not undo the harm. And your “discomfort” does not outweigh their pain.
There is no such thing as a flawless parent. There is no such thing as a truly unscathed child. What distinguishes a decent parent from a destructive one is not the absence of error, but the presence of humility. The willingness to be accountable. The capacity to apologize.
If you are lucky, your child will confront you one day. If you are wise, you will welcome it. Because reckoning is not rebellion. It is a chance to love them better than you did before.
Consider this your heads up.
curb your i/me/my.
They don't just create death who create life. They create an orphan through their own deaths through the consciousness they impose on their offspring.
If my death were a blessing, it'd be because I will have been an awful parent. If I'm a beloved parent, or even a parent with whom my children share a complicated relationship, my death will break their hearts, and nothing will mend it so long as they live--I'd have eventually left them without a mother for a third of their days.
I refuse to create life.
Still not gonna do the natalist gamble.
This is for me & all of the other childfree hotties
Trying to post a little more positive stuff. Always stay skeptical and criticize everything but don’t be afraid to enjoy something positive. No matter how long it’ll take, eventually nature will reclaim all.
Procreation is the most important gamble one can take, and it’s a gamble with another person’s life. Their entire existence based off YOUR decision, and every subsequent experience the fault of that decision.
I love my life, but that’s just because I’ve been so lucky thus far. I know very few people having as good of a time as I am right now… And still, everything I love can be taken from me at any second, my whole world shattered by a single event, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Anyway: Make love, not babies. ❤️
when it starts to get scorching in the desert again, we’ll all have to confront our mortality. some day the power grid will fail and we’ll be on our own like all the people we force onto the streets for lack of rent.
if you knew what i knew and saw what i saw, you would be a doomer too.
(this paul muadib ass thought lmao)
y’all i’m so sorry to tell you but the average life expectancy for Black people in the US is 70 years so yes 35 is middle aged !!
