Apparently, I say "okay" when I mean "I will absolutely not be doing that in any way, shape or form".

You should also know that my parents said that I have been doing this since I was six.

Either they're saints. Or completely bonkers. Hard to know.

These population panic stories always ignore one key issue: how patriarchy is incompatible with modernity. Why do educated, employed women in Japan, Italy, etc. refuse to have babies in societies where men do not equally share the labor-intensive care of children and homes? Hmm🤔

Occasionally odd things occur to me:

I am closer in age to my mother's youngest sister than I am to my cousin, her daughter.

I don’t know the Chandler details so will withhold comment. But this I do know: These emotional, narrative controlling, posturing “confessions” followed by a standing ovation have got to stop. If it warrants forced leave and church discipline, then it warrants dust and ashes.

But first...coffee (A brief🧵)

I don't know if you know this, but coffee actually changes flavors as it cools down. (Maybe the coffee doesn’t change flavors, but your brain grows in its ability to process flavors as it cools down) (1/7
