As humanity is one large piece of crap this is way to accurate. Animals over shitbag humansđź–¤
Inspired by the Raven Queen, as well as a desire to see if I could come up with a cool gothic damask based around animal parts and skulls.

So I was out in my Local New Age Bookstore the other day and they had these neat moon phase calendars, but none had the holidays or zodiac at a glance so I decided to make one. This is ostensibly for myself, but feel free to use it for personal use!
Unacceptable

Folks it's that simple
“But the world needs more people like you!”
This is one of the more frustrating pro-natalist arguments because it’s essentially saying:
“The world is broken, unpleasant, and unjust. So, naturally, we should breed more people, make them live in this broken world, and hope they’ll somehow fix all its systemic social problems that are backed by wealth, force, and a complicit populace.”
Most likely, neither your potential kids nor my potential kids will change the world. If they did grow up to be genuine revolutionaries and actually change the world, they’d be in grave danger of harassment, imprisonment, torture, and execution.
But, again, and not to be edgy, they’d probably be like us and every other shlub: working, consuming, paying taxes, and dying. I look around the bus, the grocery store, doctors’ offices, and hospitals (my mom has health problems), and I think about how a lot of these people must have had parents who thought their kids were god’s gift and would find greatness. But we all just look tired.
The world doesn’t need more people – like me or otherwise. We need to stop breeding people in unjust societies that rely on a constant feed of humans to do grunt work, to fight wars, to be imprisoned, to do unpaid/underpaid labor, to pay taxes, to buy, buy, buy.
And we need to demistify the creation of new humans, who, after they supposedly give their parents “purpose” and “validation,” will spend the majority of their lives laboring away and finding ways to distract themselves.
No child deserves the burden of enduring and trying to fix a “broken, unpleasant, and unjust world.”
Antinatalist book recommendations!
Every Cradle is a Grave by Sarah Perry
I really enjoyed reading this. It’s about the ethics of reproduction and suicide/euthanasia. She’s clearly got a sense of humor, even about serious issues like life, birth, and death. It’s got interesting statistics, ideas, and responses to previous arguments.
Better Never To Have Been by David Benatar
This is on my need-to-read list. It’s usually one of the first recommended antinatalist books.
If you’re on any AN forums, you may have heard of Benatar’s asymmetry. This is the asymmetry between existence (presence of pleasure (good) and pain (bad)) and nonexistence (absence of pleasure (not bad) and pain (good)). This asymmetry is explained in this book and to a lesser extent in The Human Predicament.
The Conspiracy Against the Human Race by Thomas Ligotti
Very bleak. Pretty depressing. Summary: existence is a nightmare, the self is an illusion, and humanity is “MALIGNANTLY USELESS.” Humans should stop breeding and die out. Ligotti usually writes horror, but this book mostly is derived from his encounter with Zapffe’s essay “The Last Messiah” (a short read available for free here). A lot of the book is related to psychology and philosophy.
The Human Predicament by David Benatar
The ethics of why reproduction is wrong, as explained by an ethics professor.
The Trouble With Being Born by Emil Cioran
Short aphorisms. Easy to read. Basically, why birth is the origin of all problems (+ other random thoughts).
(My favorite book by Cioran is On The Heights Of Despair, which is has longer passages and is more emotional. I would describe its tone as that of ecstatic agony.)
“I miss the old times when I was full of creativity, passion and interest.”
