    My cousin and his wife want kids but they’re both almost thirty and there’s no way they can afford children any time soon. I feel so bad for them because with how life is going for them, it’s not looking like they’ll be able to be parents. I’m not parent.aterial and the thought of being a parent disgusts me, but it is heartbreaking to the people I care about not being able to achieve their dream of starting a family

        We gatekept basic necessities to coerce the working class into wage slavery in times of unprecedented abundance. Fuck these extra steps, let’s just be honest with each other like we were in the jungle.
