u challenge the idea of amatonormativity and alloromanticism being the norm even slightly and alloromantics get really upset bc they're not used to even the slightest bit of pushback on their beliefs about romance bc of how culturally ingrained it is. like aros aren't coming for ur dream of personally having one (1) partner you're legally bound to for ur whole life you're still not only allowed to do that but encouraged to do that by literally the entirety of society. if the idea that that might not be an innate desire and might be socially constructed somewhat upsets u that's a u problem

"Single people are on average less healthy, less financially stable, and overall less satisfied with life than partnered and married people are. This must mean that monogamous relationships and marriage are the solution to society's problems"

Huh, it's almost like society, both socially and financially, is set up to specifically benefit people who have monogamous relationships and get married and punish people who don't partner or get married. It's almost like there are financial benefits that exist specifically to incentivize people to get married and have kids and be a nuclear family. It's almost like it was very culturally normal until very very very recently to just not have any deeper platonic relationships after you get married, meaning that single people past a certain age just get left behind and get treated as spinsters or loser bachelors. It's like life just is not designed for single people to be able to easily participate and survive while still being single. Huh, very weird. I'm sure marriage will fix this.

quick question! in which part of your life do you stop feeling like a scolded child? quick question! am i in trouble? quick question! you would tell me if im in trouble right? quick question! please don't send me to my room quick question! please don't be mad

when you think about it it's just kind of crazy how you can be neglected and abused your whole childhood instead of experiencing a brief moment of being taken care of while learning how to be a person, and then once you're an adult it's like ok now i'm still essentially raising myself in a shitty situation but this time my adult peers are like mad at me because i'm not as emotionally healthy as them, and on top of that i still have to save my own life

What are scabs but natures bandaids.

Jail for @inbabylontheywept. Jail for one thousand years.

surviving child neglect will have you thinking “am I ontologically evil for having needs?” meanwhile the need is. idk. not being yelled at for asking a question. or even. y’know. wanting food to eat

hey folks, Sef & i are getting married.

i hate to ask for this, but we need $2000 to pay for the fees associated with the adjustment of status & marriage visa application by the 21st of November 2025. we have a few hundred dollars between us, but some of that is also going to have to go into getting me the vaccination boosters i'm gonna need too, so we could really use as much help as you can give.

if you can't donate, please boost this post. if i've ever made you laugh or taught you something about the world, this is how you can repay me, this is the big one 💘💘💘 thank you

Girl who is about to tell you the saddest fucking thing you've ever heard in your life: Okay so funny story actually, when I was a kid-

man if i had a bunch of money id tip baristas like $500 and give a bunch of cash to homeless people and donate thousands to charities. genuinely how can some fucks have billions of dollars and just sit on it. it doesn’t make sense. are you insane. be a kind person like this is just proof that jeff bezos and elon musk and mark zuckerberg are all going directly to hell because what kind of greedy dickwad wouldn’t do that for people

having feelings that contradict your morals is soooo fucking annnoooooyyyiiingggggg. can the emotions and logic department get on the same page im tired of having to like strangle myself into being a tolerable person

recently saw a comment section full of people, primarily women, talking about loving living with their best friend and being sad about having to live separately one day. some people talking about missing living with their best friend, some talking about “getting” to live with their best friend “until” they find partners. saw one person mention that moving out to move in with a partner felt like a divorce. it makes me so genuinely sad… all these people recognizing the joy they can find living outside the norm, letting themself live with a friend instead of a romantic partner, but still feeling like they have to live with a spouse eventually. like it’s not even a decision, just an inevitability.
