People who regret not having kids tend to extend themselves to help kids in need around them, the childless lady in the neighborhood who gives out good Halloween candy, your favorite uncle who takes you to do fun stuff. People who regret having kids, on the other hand? Absolute demons to everyone around them. Lol. The common refrain of “You’re going to end up lonely in a nursing home if you don’t have kids.” is extremely wrong if you’re a good person and I would say a large percentage of visit-less elderly people in nursing homes actually had children, they just treated them like shit.

Dr Suess art posting for no reason at all on this very normal day.

[wren--bee]

You know somehow it never occurred to me that Dr Seuss might have done illustrations like these? (I guess in my mind he wasn’t around then, he existed in my head in some nebulous time period outside of actual history. Idk why.) But damn are they good.

[dekuinthelake]

Seuss did a metric fuck load of political art. Not all of it is especially good and just comes off as angry. Suess drew a lot of racist depictions of Japanese people as well as a warning if you do wanna look deeper. But these ones specifically are timeless bangers.

anti-fatness is not just body shaming.

anti-fatness is discrimination. anti-fatness is having next to no legal protections for being discriminated against. anti-fatness is being denied housing, jobs, receiving less pay and promotions (legally) because of your size. anti-fatness is being denied access to clothing, seating, transportation, and other human rights because infrastructure has been designed to exclude you. anti-fatness is less likelihood of receiving a fair trial. anti-fatness is dehumanization. anti-fatness is being denied necessary surgeries, but not surgery that amputates the digestive tract with the intent to starve and shrink you (it doesn’t work either). anti-fatness is mutilation. anti-fatness is being subject to torture devices that bolt your mouth shut. anti-fatness is being told by close friends, family, and professionals that you are better off living with an eating disorder or other life-threatening illness. anti-fatness sells you starvation as a guaranteed opt-out of oppression, but doesn’t tell you that bodies will always regain weight to survive. anti-fatness blames and punishes you for failing at an achievement that is quite literally impossible. anti-fatness is a $90 billion dollar industry. anti-fatness is being denied gender-affirming care. anti-fatness is being barred from in vitro fertilization and reproductive healthcare. anti-fatness is being barred from adopting children. anti-fatness is being removed from your loving parents because they couldn’t make you thin. anti-fatness is intentionally starving your own baby so they won’t get fat. anti-fatness is disproportionately high suicide rates. anti-fatness is being killed at the hands of medical neglect and mistreatment. anti-fatness is the world preferring a dead body over a fat one.

[fatliberation]

reblogging this again because so many people still do not realize that fat liberation is deeply political. fat liberation is not body positivity. it is not about loving yourself or being non-judgemental. it is about THIS. 👆

"There is nothing wrong with adults living with their parents for any reason and it's actually the norm in huge parts of the world."

and

"People should be able to afford to live independently if that's what they want."

are statements that NEED to coexist.

Every time a cis person complains about being called cis, or a white person complains about being called white, or a neurotypical person complains about being called neurotypical, all I hear is “WAH WAH I’M NOT A VERTEBRATE I’M JUST NORMAL!1!”

[deadgirldreaming]

It’s because they want to be the default standard, and they want everyone else who isn’t the “default” to be viewed and treated as lesser than them.

If you make the playing field equal, what excuse can they hide behind when they do terrible things to people they consider lesser than themself?

They might have to actually acknowledge they’re bad people, and they don’t want to see themselves as they truly are or for other people to see them as they are.

They want to BELIEVE they’re good people without actually having to BE good people.

They want to be SEEN as good people without actually having to BE good people.

They want to be oppressed so bad.

I know these people are incapable of feeling guilt or empathy most of the time, but I'm going to tell every one of them my mother died and it sucked. I don't care.

Maybe I'm trying to make sure a horrible, pointless, unnecessary death can have some meaning beyond my grief. That my mom's suffering can have some... reason.

So Trump's DOJ is suing the state of Washington because WA's new mandated reporting law says that clergy (among many other professions) are legally obligated to report ongoing child abuse if they know about it. And the Christofascists in the Trump regime call that "anti-catholic"

And all I can think of is this iconic post

John Adams: “I study war and diplomacy, so that my son may study trade and commerce, so that his son may study art and music.”

[marzipanandminutiae]

more specifically:

"I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Painting and Poetry Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study Mathematicks and Philosophy, Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation, Commerce and Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to study Painting, Poetry, Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry and Porcelaine." -John Adams, to his wife Abigail, 12 May 1780 (spelling preserved)

Petition to replace “gambling addict” with “gambling victim”

[pocket-deer-belly]

Gambling addict: i have a personality trait that makes me compulsively gamble, that i have to actively fix. It’s my fault.

Gambling victim: i have been victimized by the gambling industry, which intentionally designs games that override many people’s ability to reason with how much money they’re spending. The industry purposefully victimizes people in desperate financial situations.

[pocket-deer-belly]

Gambling addict: i spent my college fund on genshin impact rolls, i think i have a gambling addiction.

Gambling victim: this is not an addiction, this is the result of intentional game design.

[pocket-deer-belly]

I need you to understand that the idea of gambling addiction as a real thing that exists washes the hands of an entire industry and places the whole responsibility of said industry of intentionally draining people’s bank accounts at the individuals losing all their money. The very idea of gambling as an addiction instead of an industry that intentionally tricks and deceives and rigs games against people makes losing all your money a personal failing rather than a systemic intentional one.
