They fuckin cancelled the apocalypse...with cooperation and voluntary identification with others

We watched Godzilla Minus One last night and I cannot fully explain this, but the last part of that movie felt very much like I feel when I watch Pacific Rim.

The things people feel licensed to say to a young woman parenting in public are just off the charts bad. And I know it happens to moms at every stage, but it's exponentially worse if people think you're a teenager. People should be so kind to teen moms.

I wasn't technically a teen mom because I turned 20 before the first baby was born, but so many people read me as one, which makes it bitterly funny to live in a time when people complain that there aren't enough teen moms. Y'all HATE teen moms.

I was about 23 or 24 and with two kids, a lot of my public interactions with strangers involved people telling me I was too young and offering horrible advice, so that woman's kindness has stayed with me vividly for over two decades.

I would certainly die if I tried to do that

We, as Americans, are constantly asked to spend the bulk of our money on short-term luxuries and to ignore the essentials we need to live no matter the state of the world. Don't worry about your food; pay a company to monitor you in your home so they can make more money selling your data!

That beard is WORK

My favorite "young people are destroying American society" thing is "not enough teen moms now"

fuck, you're right

Some people want abstract ideas like intelligence to be measurable units that can be stacked like cubes and that is very silly.

"It'll be as smart as that person currently telling me to stop what I'm doing because my actions are destroying our shared future, but THIS smart person is owned by me and if they say anything I don't like, I can reprogram them."
