Women: I want to go for a run.
Society: You can’t go alone. You’ll get raped.
Women: I want to walk to my car in the parking garage.
Society: Alone? You better get someone to escort you, or you’ll get raped.
Women: I want to live alone.
Society: You need a gun, an alarm system, a dog and probably a gun for the dog too.
Women: What about going to the park?
Society: Dangerous.
Women: Okay, I’ll just go out for a drink then.
Society: Don’t take your eyes off your drink. Watch out for predators spiking your drinks. Stay alert at all times.
Women: I was raped.
Society: Are you sure? That just seems impossible.
Parents - put your phones out of sight when you’re with your kids. I really mean this. Especially at home. Treat it like a landline and “hang it up” in one place. (Wife and I have a little holder for them in the kitchen) When you need to check it, go over to where it’s placed and look at it, then walk away. Do not carry it around like a digital pacifier. Be present without it in sight. I guarantee this will make a huge impact on their childhood experience.
This takes courage…
The Strokes closed their Coachella set flashing images of the governments the CIA has overthrown, the leaders the US has assassinated including MLK 👀, the war crimes the US is committing in Iran, and the genocide Israel is committing in occupied Palestine.
Moms are not excited for sex just because they’re tired. Many mothers do want sex, want to feel that spark again but foreplay doesn’t start with a boob grab at 10:42 PM. It starts when someone else does bedtime so she can exhale. It starts when the dishes are already done, the counters are wiped, and she didn’t have to ask. It starts when he takes her face in his hands in the kitchen, and looks her in the eyes like she’s a person to be cherished. Foreplay isn’t physical; it’s foresight.
"sleep training" a newborn means letting a defenseless baby scream for its mother in the dark until it's either exhausted or has given up on life.
the attachment literature is clear that before 6 months, a baby crying with nobody coming learns exactly one thing, that calling for help doesn't work
and you even have parents bragging about how they tortured their kid into an 8h sleep
you need to attend to every need of your child. they don't have a prefrontal cortex able to understand what's happening. if you love them and care for them, they'll barely cry, and when they do there's a clear reason you can address right away
The most annoying thing about being human on Earth right now is the absolute waste of potential.
Brilliant minds and artists could be solving world hunger, climate change, and ending cancer, etc.
We could house, feed, clothe, and care for everyone.
But instead, we’ve decided to let a handful of asshats become billionaires, start wars, murder and imprison people, and keep the majority in poverty while ruining the climate.
It’s so stupid. The wasted ingenuity hurts to think about.
I need more men to understand that two men crying and hugging in space after one of them announced they were naming a moon crater after the other one’s late wife is actually what peak masculinity looks like
The Reserve Bank is an instrument of class war against workers. Inflation is being driven by profiteering by big corporations and the spending of the super-rich. But the RBA's solution is always to make workers pay the price through higher mortgage rates and unemployment.
Pushing up mortgages and rents won’t fix inflation caused by Trump & Netanyahu’s illegal war.
It will only hurt mortgage holders & renters - higher prices for people who are doing it tough, and never wanted this foolish war.
The RBA knows this, and must not lift rates tomorrow.
