I can work on expropriating Wyoming tomorrow

Having children *and* parents? In this economy??

no other generation has experienced this before

We'e seen this movie before. utpress.utexas.edu/9780292716827/

Drawing of a duck in a little sweater. The duck has not showered or shaved in like four days. NARRATOR: “Our man suddenly springs into action!” DUCK: “I gotta start acting like I have my shit together or I risk being PERCEIVED”

the procrastinator prepares for a manic burst of “productivity” to spare the ego

while we're here, does anyone else get unreasonably annoyed at the phrase "sandwich generation"

We should go back to referring to people by their age group instead of by their generation. Enough of this “elder millennials” shit. Just say “people in their 40s” or whatever.

I had the vaccine and also got Tamiflu (because I also have mild/rare exercise-induced asthma, thank you exercise-induced asthma) so I'm not even that sick but it is still a very unpleasant experience and I'm sleeping a lot

as a person whose capabilities are currently being hampered by the flu...

I only half believe this, but "Jeanne Calment" was actually her daughter Yvonne and was only 99 when she died

Is this considered diagnostic

it's a living i suppose

a sure sign of spring

let's clear some things up: men are nothing more than grotesque agglomerations of Cold War-era anxieties and evo psych bullshit

thank you, I was feeling too lazy to look up force majeure (this sounds sarcastic but it's genuine, i am getting over the flu and have zero energy)

I need a better writer than me to write something about how Pragmata is the apotheosis of the “parenthood without women” dream that has taken root among increasingly misogynistic disillusioned young men. People have written about Sad Dad games but not enough about their role as reactionary fantasy.

ye olde linguisticks

I also keep seeing "even Bush Sr. and Nixon supported reducing teen births," the implication being that we used to have better Republicans. No, the implication here is that the social forces of the time meant the people who wanted to control women's lives were antinatalist rather than pronatalist.

Let me write an op ed on Title X. "They gave it to us for shitty reasons and now they want to take it away for shitty reasons, and between the two, I choose the former. Medicare for all, abolish ICE."

"Everyone agreed on one thing: the existence of these humans was a social problem" with no mention of race or racism

Some 60 years ago, American legislators set out to tackle a problem that was driving employment and education rates down, driving health care and welfare costs up and making American family life significantly less stable: Many American women, and particularly poor women and teenagers, were having more children than they wanted or could afford. Close to half of births were to women who had not intended to get pregnant. Decreasing the unintended pregnancy rate was a bipartisan wish. In 1969, President Richard Nixon recognized that “unwanted or untimely childbearing is one of several forces which are driving many families into poverty.”

I know I'm never satisfied with anything on this subject, but how do you write this uncritically

Wow it does match!

Let's see it

[shania twain voice] that dont depress me much

Ezra found them growing in a drainage basin outside the library :)

Poppies and their shadows

The Torrent was up 2 and managed to lose in OT

Hey! Sorry I missed this. I bolted and went to seed

It's so dumb bc what he means by "the Democratic party uses this language" is "people who vote for Democrats use this language and Republicans have somehow convinced us this is our problem"

Are you kidding meeee

(this is about PWHL)
