as someone who spent 16 years doing some combo of vegan/vegetarian/pescatarian and then gave up and ate meat while pregnant last year, i actually think this tweet is true.
the feeling of choosing to eat meat was very much like “*shrug* i’m gonna do something selfish and sorta evil because im lazy and full of desire.” i think many choices are like this and you’ll find that acknowledging that reality actually feels better than doing mental gymnastics to justify your decisions.
I am so disappointed in the Labour MPs calling for a change of leadership. We are 2 years into government and they are just playing into the right wing media's hands and paving the way for Reform.
living with your parents in your 20s is like.... i'm grateful to not have to pay for groceries. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful to have a roof over my head and not have to pay rent. i have to get out of here. i'm grateful i'm so fucking grateful. i have to get out of here
If Zohran Mamdani was a waiter ik he would go up to a table of 40 year old women and be like “are we celebrating a 21st birthday tonight ladies 😉” and they would eat it tf up and leave him a 30% tip
people say "women are not paid less, they just pick empathy careers." ok.!!! but who decided nursing and teaching are worth less? like we will pay a sales guy 150k to move numbers around, but pay a nurse pennies to literally keep people alive, or give a teacher crumbs and wonder why future generations are failing every test. it is not that empathy based work is less valuable it is that we’ve normalized underpaying it because it’s "women’s work."
we live in age of great moral panics about things that don’t matter at all and zero moral outrage over some of the most egregious societal sins we’ve ever seen
No one tells you that parenting is just relearning the world through someone who thinks worms are friends & birds are miracles. It’s the most healing thing I’ve ever done. My daughter looked out the window this morning & said, everything is green & growing. I told her, you too. And something inside me whispered, so are you. Now I’m watching her hold flowers up to the sun while the light bends like it recognizes her. It’s funny, every spring I think I’m teaching my child about the world & every spring she proves she’s the one teaching me how to see it.
stop working 80 hours a week. touch grass. feel a woman’s touch. get hammered. live life. too many of you are absorbed by your business. step out of the drivers seat for a week. I thought you got into the online industry for freedom but you built a jail around yourself.
