"Single people are on average less healthy, less financially stable, and overall less satisfied with life than partnered and married people are. This must mean that monogamous relationships and marriage are the solution to society's problems"

Huh, it's almost like society, both socially and financially, is set up to specifically benefit people who have monogamous relationships and get married and punish people who don't partner or get married. It's almost like there are financial benefits that exist specifically to incentivize people to get married and have kids and be a nuclear family. It's almost like it was very culturally normal until very very very recently to just not have any deeper platonic relationships after you get married, meaning that single people past a certain age just get left behind and get treated as spinsters or loser bachelors. It's like life just is not designed for single people to be able to easily participate and survive while still being single. Huh, very weird. I'm sure marriage will fix this.

I need to admit something to the US Tumblrinas. Philadelphia isn't a place to me. It's a cream cheese. You say "philadelphia" or "philly" and I immediately, and exclusively, think of the cream cheese. "Twelve people die in Philadelphia disaster" wow that must've been a Molasses Flood style event

Good god, amatonormativity is everywhere and it's so fucking annoying

I was having a normal conversation with a coworker, and she happened to ask something along the lines of "and then what about when you get married and have kids?"

I just really casually said "Oh, I don't think I will." (because I was not coming out to random coworker as aroace because like nobody irl ever even seems to know what that means, and I don't exist to educate everybody everywhere about the SAM, asexuality, aromanticism, and all that.)

And she reacted like she had never heard anything like that in her life. This woman genuinely asked "How?" How was I going to not get married? How was I going to not have children? Like... I'm just gonna not do those things. You can just not do a thing.

Why is the default state of being in society's mind for an AFAB person "in a straight marriage as a stay at home mom with multiple children?"

Fuck allonormativity. Fuck amatonormativity. And fuck patriarchy, too, because in the end, that's a huge role in a lot of aphobia imo. Maybe I'll write out my full thoughts on that one sometime

one of the most frustrating things about getting a job is that after you go through the absolute hellscape that is applying and interviewing and you finally prove yourself worthy of having employment, you'll end up in the workforce and realise that 90% of the people with jobs are not actually very good at them. so like why was all of that even so hard

They should invent a life that’s structured without being monotonous and challenging without being demanding and eventful without being stressful and peaceful without being boring

I just saw an unexpected post that I have to ask about.

Do people actually eat tofu, like, for real? It's not a bit, people can actually tolerate eating it?

two million people starving to death because it's geopolitically convenient and we're all expected to go about our day normally like the casual cruelty on display for the past two years has been so insane to me like i'm not even trying to make a point it's just truly something i can't wrap my mind around
