It’s not. Raising kids as a vulnerable tiny survival unit relying on largely unrelated caretakers who all are underpaid and still incredibly expensive is fucking awful.
I’m a very grumpy person and I’m not really that smart. If you’re thinking of following me you probably shouldn’t. I have no insights to give you.

And we’re probably going to elect JB Pritzker in a year when I’ll be screaming louder than ever that we should abolish ICE and prosecute its employees and I thought “defund the police” was a stupid slogan.

I think Hollywood just didn’t want to pay animators and 2D animation requires a lot of (often union) animators to pull off. The medium is still valid it just… you know… costs money. They hate paying people.

My internal conflict is not over whether or not to wish him dead. He deserves to die and he deserves a painful death. My only consideration is if death while in office is too good for him, and if it is a weakness to want it quickly just to stop our pain now. It’s not cathartic enough. No justice.

It’s not even close to the most traumatic thing we’ve ever done. I can think of dozens of worse things in terms of body counts, sheer racism, and actual real goddamn genocide. But it is the stupidest. By far the stupidest. And we should tear it all down and bury it in a pile of shit.
