@SCoherent@AndrewZywiecMD I agree the welfare state has played a role in changing family dynamics. I also think certain aspects of feminism may have had an influence. The 2 aren't necessarily mutually exclusive, though neither explains every situation. X's character limit makes nuance difficult sometimes
@SCoherent@AndrewZywiecMD As I have gotten older I realize the destruction that feminism has & continues to cause, especially when it comes to raising https://t.co/h8DR2sCaPH kids dad chose not to participate in any meaningful way, unfortunately.
@SCoherent@AndrewZywiecMD Single mom of 2 boys here & 1 is a finance mgr & 1 is an athletic trainer. I was fortunate to have a family support structure. Sadly, many are not & the kids aren't raised right. Kids need both parents as long as they're a good influence.
@SparkleKitten39 A postal worker told me it's because businesses pay for first class mail and this is what's keeping them afloat. Do with that what you will.

These women be all up in the Lancaster farmers markets every weekend, dragging little Joey and the whole family along to load up on homemade baked goods, farm-fresh eggs, organic produce, raw honey, and sourdough… yes Garnet Valley and Haverford aka Delaware County Pa white soccer mom women I am talking to you.
Then turn around and lecture everyone about how they just cannot stand those people because some of them don't vaccinate.
Well, Susan, this is awkward.
Put the homemade whoopie pie down. Step away from the Amish sourdough. Return the farm-fresh eggs immediately.
Perhaps Whole Foods has something appropriately corporate, triple-packaged, and shipped 6,000 miles from Commie China.
But PLEASE stop clutching your locally sourced organic vegetables while simultaneously despising the people who grew them.
The hypocrisy is absolutely farm-to-table.
Can we please bring back THE HUMAN BEING?
I don't want a chatbot.
I don't want 14 menu options.
I don't want to download another app.
I don't want to “visit our help centre”.
I WANT TO SPEAK TO A PERSON.
Surely I cannot be the only one?
Your death will come on an ordinary day, in the middle of unfinished plans, and the world will continue without you. So enjoy the ordinary moments. Drop the bitterness. Let go of what you can’t control. Love yourself while you’re still here. Stop postponing joy for some perfect future. One day, something will happen for the last time and you won’t know it. Be present. Life is happening now.
stop trying to kill your demons. give them a job.

Nobody tells you this: the single most transformative habit isn't meditation, exercise, or journaling. It's catching yourself mid-pattern and choosing differently. In real time. Not in reflection. Not in hindsight. In the actual moment. That micro-interruption is worth more than any morning routine.
Today is September 11, the anniversary of the date on which the Epstein predator class of Israel-firsters usurped the Constitution and declared a hybrid war on the people of the U.S. and seized control of the soon-to-be-created Department of Homeland Security from which all unconstitutional diktat ensuring their panopticon control over every soul on the planet emanates. A sad day for us all . . .
