washing dishes is evil because you go "oh fuck there's so many dishes this is gonna take foreverrr" and then you enter the dish abyss and emerge with your abdomen somehow covered in water and your hands all wrinky and then you look at the clock and what felt like half an hour was actually 10 minutes

Without fail, every time a woman is talking about how she does not want to have children and never wants to be pregnant and how medical professionals, romantic interests and family members keep trying to bulldoze her decision and keep expecting her to change her mind because motherhood is something that is expected of all women and it is abhorrent to think a woman could not desire it, a random mother spawns in the comments to be like “Well, actually, you never know! I didn’t want children and then I got pregnant and I realized I love being a mama and I have five little babies now! Could happen to you! 🥰”

Sister, keep that to yourself or make your own goddamn post, you are ignoring that woman’s central concern and belittling her, you don’t even think you’re doing it. Formerly childfree women who ended up having children and loving it are like detransitioners in the sense that there is nothing inherently wrong with changing your mind about having children or realizing you were mistaken about your gender identity but immediately weaponizing your indecision to tell people that the barriers to healthcare and the violations of their bodily autonomy and the way society ignores that person’s wishes is actually okay because you were wrong. Some people do know themselves.

I'm trying something different with the fic grind over on my side blog , since shameless self-promotion for the fanfic grind has been going absolutely NOWHERE. I don't suspect this will make a difference either, but I suppose it's worth a try.

BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE SNK'S LOREMASTER AND PARTNER IN CRIME @thelexhex / @illyrilex , SORRY THIS IS SO STUPID LOL ❤️

Yeah, it's RE3R!Jill and OG!Nemmy because that's what Illy likes best (and I 100% agree on the Nemmy, OG is best and I'll die on this hill). And yeah, I actually really thought about how to use the quote in the caption, that's how lame I am...
