I'm serious when I say the United States is actively hostile to children. Constant school shootings our leaders refuse to do anything about. Child Protective Services that overwhelmingly do nothing of the sort. No healthcare. Our education system is abysmal. Very few areas in the public that are safe for children to be in. Large swaths of states making gender affirming care for trans kids a felony. Child marriages are legal in a lot of states. Treating kids like property parents have every right to do whatever they want to, to the point where the U.S. is one of the very few countries that refused to ratify the U.N.'s Convention On The Rights Of The Child explicitly on the basis that treating children like people erodes the rights of American parents. And now states are enacting laws that overturn child labor laws like it's the goddamn Victorian Age. And even before those laws were made, it turns out that migrant children have been working in factories for a lot of companies, including the supposedly socially-minded Ben and Jerry's.

As complicated as adult life is, I would never want to be a kid again, with no say or agency in my life and completely helpless to the whims of the adults around me.

Get you a partner who rubs your feet after a 12 hour shift including your weird toe while watching Olympic curling. This is what 15 years of marriage and 22 years of dating looks like. Buckle up, young ones. Flowers and chocolates fade.

My burgundy rubber plant looks like it’s in a seedy LA detective’s office chain smoking and waiting for a Dame to show up who’s going to ruin his life. #rizaplants #quarantinegardening #houseplantstories https://www.instagram.com/p/CNL_r-Kp09gFZR61EUlwTfBWYxxibkEW0i885E0/?igshid=sgu0qjhv75vd
