The number of older people who do not believe, EARNESTLY refuse to contemplate the concept that lots of people my age or younger don’t want kids ✨ever✨ is astronomical. I don’t understand the obsession.

Free play is critical for developing executive function, autonomy, and trauma resilience. A sustainable future will need to include ways to recenter children's need for free play.

This is immediately applicable to kids coping with the pandemic.

When I say, “In the olden days” I could be talking about the 1990s, 1780s, or 2019. Context, kids, context.

Excerpt:

“I don’t live in a place that can ever be verdant and green. In fact, it’s not healthy for the plains I live in to be nothing but greenery because where I live is not meant for it. The attempts to force a specific vision of aesthetically pleasing and healthy plant life has in fact had devastating effects on the land, stolen from Indigenous peoples and bent to the will of a growing settler-colonial capitalism, infrastructure flooding land to store water to be used on lawns, in defiance of the fact the environment is unsuitable for many of the introduced plants, with native grasses being displaced with or without human intervention, and invasive species chewing up everything around us. The healthy, sustainable lands around me are yellow grasses that crunch under your feet, that have roots so deep that they touch the water table, forests that turn brown in the fall and snow that reaches up to your knees. There is almost no version of Solarpunk that looks like that, little that seems to embrace the diversity of the natural world and understand that for much of humanity, the verdant vision presented cannot exist in reality without yet another form of ecocide” (Klapecki).

Have been hanging with a bunch of Gen Xers lately and OMG they genuinely are the most confident self-assured adults you’ll meet they don’t give a flying fck about societal expectations boomers attempt to impose and fashion variables are laughed at they seem to live by some motto of “do what you want so long as you’re not hurting anyone” and I am absolutely in love with every single one of them I’m in awe
