Women, the reason you can have a credit card in your own name and don’t need a man’s signature to open a bank account is because of Gloria Steinem. RIP to this queen.
I’m going to spend the entire winter reading so many books and drinking so many cups of tea and walking very long distances and rethinking everything about my life and the world.
This Venus Retrograde is going to carry a heavy energy of “does this person even care about me?” & looking back and realizing the answer might be no.
this man, for one weekend, behaved the same way an average wife would behave if there was company coming into town. all of this is stuff his wife would have done, but he took it on.
his wife was like, "wow that was incredibly helpful, my weekend wasn't stressful, and having sex sounds really appealing!"
his response: THE LEVEL OF EFFORT I GAVE WAS INSANE AND UNSUSTAINABLE. I COULD NOT LIVE MY LIFE LIKE THIS.
did not think i'd see a truth nuke from david harbour but he's absolutely right. the obsession with the nuclear family, single family home, "just me and mine" mentality in america is part of the reason we're such evil people
I LOVE neuroplasticity. It gives me so much strength to keep bringing a positive change in my life, to think that YES my mind is with me. My mind is not working against me, but with me. Slowly & surely, we'll overcome our challenges.
WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY.
It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill free college, 0% down home loans, low-interest business loans.
It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary.
It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present.
That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security.
You want a higher birth rate now?
Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay.
That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.
Unfortunately the rumors about maine are true. You can buy local stone fruit and sourdough baguettes next to the classical Pilates studio for what could only be described as a normal price. It brings me no pleasure to say this, but afterwards, u can walk to the ocean.
