  • I was left on the street for dead at 17.

    Radicalized me to the left, not the right, but of course I was that age during occupy wall st.

    It’s the goddamn right wing influencers, and parents not supporting thier young adult children while they’ve already had unrestricted internet acess since they were little. “The world wants them dead” the world wants me dead too.

    It’s hard to understand for me, the boys in my family were always allowed more freedom, more choice, less responsibility. Three generations it was like that. The mother’s love their son’s, hate their daughters. The father’s teach thier son’s, and rape thier daughters, and love no one, not even themselves.

    Three generations of that in my family. It’s so hard to empathize, “the world wants them dead”. Better dead than you father’s slave, trust. That’s why I hit the street.


  • I read most of this, while some of this might be true, some of it is wacky.

    I gave birth. If you want to shorten the stay of the mother for profit, natural birth is cheaper and is a shorter stay. I don’t understand why this article says the opposite.

    Agree they do trap us on our back.

    My kid had trouble coming out my birth canal, I was in labor far too long, they said C-section around the 22 hour mark. I refused and they ended up using a vacuum on his little head to help pull him out. He has cognitive/reasononing issues. After years, I sometimes really wonder if I should have let them do the c section, and if he would have been better cognitivly thus. But also, would have been nice to use gravity, as my urge to squat was so strong, but I couldn’t.

    Giving birth is fucking terrifying. I don’t like the tone of this article.





  • Honestly, even if Americans can’t afford to get a passport to travel, so many never leave the area they are born. Many don’t leave thier regions. Many also do, but I’ve met townies… I am a townie I guess, but even just living in a city myself for a time, opened my eyes.

    Many of the bigoted people I’ve met have never left thier rural enclaves, and shockingly, they’re afraid of cities (big and small) and anyone not like them, they shit all over anyone not born the same hospital they were. Is it ignorance? Fear? Insecurity? I don’t know, I don’t understand the mentality.

    The United States is so large, so diverse, of course traveling abroad would be cool, but I wish more could simply travel our own country for a start.
