I know I've been on this topic a bit recently, given jd cheese dick's comments about childless cat women/people, but I just have to say that the thing that comes across very clearly to me as a woman over 30 without kids is that people just straight up do not see women as adult human beings outside of motherhood.
if you're a woman over 30 and don't have a kid, suddenly people just straight up do not know how to act around you. other women don't know what to talk to you about. people, even complete strangers, will ask you why you are childless. as if it's their business. as if you should have to justify one of your biggest life choices/heartbreaks to them. right now. after just having met them.
you may have a very fulfilling life and be very happy doing whatever it is you do with your time and money, but it's not motherhood so it just does not compute to people. people will neglect to even talk to you at family gatherings cause you don't have any kids so what could they possibly ask you about? unless of course they wanna harass you about when you're going to make your mom a grandma already.
not having a child does not make someone less of a person or an adult. it is not something shameful or pitiable. and most of all it is not anyone's business let alone the government's.

so fucking random but have you talked to the family you lived with in japan recently? im laughing bc i remembered your scooter saga with falling into the koi pond and the kids you taught being so into your scooter
precious memories...well i do still occasionally talk to the host family i lived with when i was studying abroad in Tokyo (and the same host mom of "ganbatte roomba-san" fame), but my spectacular koi pond fall and subsequent surgery + knee scooter adventure happened a while later, when i was working in a way more rural part of Japan...at that time, i lived alone in my super old and extremely haunted ryokan house
for better or for worse, i have not spoken to ANYONE i knew during that time since i left KLFJ:LKH

If I'm correct, the 3ds online servers are finally gone...
Nintendo killed them, I actually got in to spend some time with my favorite mons and on Tomodachi life
Goodbye to an era, goodbye to my childhood-

truly can't stand to watch people not put their clearly suffering senior pet down, you are torturing that poor animal out of selfishness and calling it "love"

My stepdad passed away earlier this morning. Feels weird, and I'm just now trying to process such an event....it's interesting to feel exhaustion in my body, but I don't think it's hit me emotionally and mentally. Death and grief is such a wild rollercoaster especially as one ages...Perhaps tomorrow will make more sense...

today i took my final and said goodbye to two of my friends by going to the cafe we go to after every class and spend 2-3 hours at. its going to be so strange not being there next tuesday thursday with them and ordering all our usuals and laughing over dumb stuff. i think i’m just in denial i (probably) won’t ever see them again?? or even if i do the 4 of us will never be in that physical space again. and its so strange, i feel this kind of numbness about it now but i know it’ll hit me later
