ANTI-CAPITALIST AFFIRMATIONS

- i deserve to spend time doing things that make me feel good and whole.

- i am capable of listening to my body and responding to what it needs.

- it's okay if i no longer have ambitions for a career.

- i am worth so much more than what i produce for the consumption of others.

- it's okay to redefine what a successful life looks like for me.

- i am allowed to enjoy things simply because they bring me joy.

- spending time doing something I love is enough

if you require the force of the state to enforce the gender binary it probably isn't actually inate. i know that everyone knows this already and you can't debate them with facts and logic but this is driving me fuckin nuts

CW: Biology stuff

I don't know who needs to hear this, but a lot of times, menstrual cramps are from trapped gas in your GI tract. Take Gas X, and it makes that whole thing more manageable. (The active ingredient used in Gas X is simethicone, and it's safe enough for infants, so it's a pretty low-risk drug.)

I've had to tell two different women this month, so I thought I'd make a post. Cheers!

There are multiple American journalists imprisoned in Russia for carrying out the real job of being a journalist. And while they are wrongfully detained on decades long prison sentences, Tucker Carlson offers The Kremlin to interview Vladimir Putin, ask the questions Putin wants to hear, and branding this as “journalism” to the American people.

And Elon Musk is hosting it, trying to make money on Putin’s propaganda.

I really hope these two shameless grifters experience a serious case of karma.

Screen shot from an actual campaign video, from MAGA Republican candidate for Missouri Valentina Gomez, in which she promises:

“When I’m Secretary of State, I will 🔥BURN🔥all books that are grooming, indoctrinating, and sexualizing our children. MAGA. America First🇺🇸”

I remember when the Nazis burned books. I also remember what they burned next.

I’m hearing a lot of teachers talking about leaving the profession. Sadly, these are the ones you’d most like teaching your kids—smart, passionate, lifelong learners. When the innovators have all been driven out of this field, guess who will be left? The dull, the indifferent, and the obedient—a bad school administration’s dream employees. That’s who. #k12education #teachers #teaching
Not that the examined life is any picnic, either.
Your sleek, plastic organizer would work perfectly for me. Now, is there any way you can completely cover it in tapestry or toile?
Merry Christmas. If your in-laws got you drunk like mine did, then good luck with Santa mode on the highest difficulty level. Don't forget the stockings.
Once you're up past 2am, it's socially acceptable to open a new can of Pringles.
