@JonWithTheFace My personal favourites:
I am not financially stable and I chose to be a writer so that’s not gonna change | I’m chronically tired and children are chronically tiring | They can’t use a litter box and I’m not potty training | I have the memory of a dry chickpea I will lose them.
@JonWithTheFace I’ve been told multiple times that “having commitment issues when it comes to tiny little flesh bags that leak incessantly for at least 5 years” is not a good enough reason not to have a kid and I…
@JonWithTheFace On the other end of the card, I spend my entire life giving people “legitimate” reasons for not wanting kids. Apparently “i just don’t want kids” isn’t good enough.
@emfolbo @mo_saara Chani = Hebrew, Duncan = Gaelic, Idaho = a nod to American culture(lol). I think it furthers his books’ allusion to how in this future empire religion/cultures have blended into something new. The fremen for instance are influenced by Islam, islamic mysticism and Judaism, etc.
@emfolbo @mo_saara I figured because he’s created a world defined by an amalgamation of various mystic beliefs, cultures, languages and religions, the names are kind of a hodgepodge mix i.e. Jessica = Hebrew, Paul = Christian origin, Leto = Greek Titan, Liet = popular medieval anglo Saxon name
@LeahJazzLive How can you be against abortion but for the death penalty?? Isn’t the whole anti abortion stance that all life is sacred and whatnot🥴 MAKE IT MAKE SENSE.
