i'm always a slut for domesticity

note to self: you are an intelligent woman. forgive yourself for all the times you were stupid and naive. you are a woman of heart. forgive yourself for the times you were soft when you should have been hard.

“who hurt you” me bitch i make bad decisions because i’m stupid

me: ok i’m gonna shut up about this now

me 5 mins later:

Yes, this is really a thing...

Yep, because baby formula is one of the most shoplifted things in America. Which should ALSO radicalize you.

not to be reformist but i just realized requiring employers to treat a commute as time on the job would probably make american cities profoundly more habitable

I am having trouble understanding. Can you, or someone else who knows more about this please provide further explanation?

if employers were paying for commute time (as is standard in several countries), spending less time commuting would be incentivized. cities would be more compact and take less time to traverse than across urban sprawl. i also interpreted it to mean that cities would also have more diverse transportation infrastructure, instead of the heavily-trafficked slog of the freeway. efficient public transport, walkability, etc.

not only that, but employers would have an incentive to do things like putting money/support behind lowering housing costs in core areas (or paying wages that enable employees to afford rent in core areas), or moving operations to areas with low-cost housing and putting their money/support behind building infrastructure to support their operations (high-speed internet, etc).

companies (in general) don’t do shit unless they can see a clear benefit to their bottom line. if they had to pay for commutes, suddenly a lot of things they don’t currently care about (or actively fight against because it would involve raising municipal taxes) would become of benefit to them.

Pay attention

THIS

Idk what trans man out there needs to hear this but being men doesn’t make us evil, or bad. Realizing youre a man doesn’t magically make you a horrible person. You’re not betraying women by realizing youre a man. You don’t need to be scared of becoming something cruel. Men are not inherently evil. Men are not inherently cruel, or monsters.

You are not a monster.

2020 for me has just been "am I stressed because of a global pandemic and an increasingly fascist far-right government, or am I just struggling to exist under capitalism" and I'm really getting tired of it
