Apparently the White House is assessing ways to “persuade” women ti have more children.

I can save them a ton of time and energy:

Universal healthcare

Universal basic income

Childcare & paid time off

Education

clean air & water

Affordable housing

Legalized abortion

Address climate change

Stop Being Fascists

It’s really not that hard.

We just need to turn the negative productivity of research scientists at NASA and forner auditors at the IRS that DOGE fired to gainfully making shoes in Nike factories reshored from Vietnam.

🌸KYŌTO'S LAST CHERRY BLOSSOMS🌸

drowsy spring
begins with
Omuro’s flowers
ねぶたさの春は御室の花よりぞ
-Yosa Buson (与謝蕪村 1716-84).

Ninna-ji's (仁和寺) grove of cherry trees are some of the last to bloom in the city, bringing sakura season to a dramatic close.
