Figuring out the journey from #girlboss to #tradwife. In love with life, the universe, and God. When not momming, I make friends for a living.

This meme always explains things.

Congratulations on being the first in your bloodline to… end your bloodline 🤷♀️ Don’t get married or have children if you don’t want to, fine. But society doesn’t owe you a medal for opting out of the business of building civilization. Nobody would pay a hobo on the back for

A consequence of generational separation is that new parents have no idea if they’re doing it right. You go because you have no idea what normal is and you’re hoping someone will tell you that you’re not fucking this up…
Give me one good reason to take a perfectly healthy, well-functioning baby to a “well-child” appointment. Just one. As far as I’m concerned, the entire purpose of those visits is to allow a white coat with assumed authority to fear-monger you into believing your vibrant,

China seems to be living in an age of “you can just do stuff”, whereas the West seems to be stuck in the age of “that’s nice but we can’t do it and it’s not really a big deal, here’s why”. What if the West just ran roughshod over objections and did stuff all over the place?
Smart track trams in Zhuzhou. The construction cost is 1/3 of that of a tram. Take 300-500 people. It was first run in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province in 2018. Now it is used by several cities.😊😊😊

@morgoth_raven So they're gutting usability, and just in case you're still stubborn enough to use it, you're a crazy person who should seek professional help. I find this a particularly intriguing business model...

i don’t know anything but my experience of aging so far has been a series of sudden& humiliating realizations that every cliche made meaningless by constant exposure (“be yourself” etc) contains a completely overwhelming degree of truth that u can’t understand until you just do
it's weird that at a given age, 45 say, someone can't just write down the compressed/compiled topline notes on everything they've learned about life, and then just hand that to someone at 20, saving them 25 years of lessons. why that doesn't work is a somewhat instructive Q

The thing about Nobody Wants This is you’re watching a jaded millenial woman open up in the presence of a good traditional man… And you can either write Joanne and Morgan off as the worst of liberal white women. Or entertain the idea that love can redeem anyone 💕

As reality gets stranger, faster autists will be the only ones able to adapt as normal human consensus reality gets left further and further behind

Never underestimate the power of places where the lithium content of the public water supply is over 60𝜇/liter -- especially if you have kind of mental health issues and an aversion to medication. Lithium is a natural mood stabilizer, and there's tons of it in the desert

Yep. Newbie nomads think the lifestyle is about travel. Make no mistake, the lifestyle is about LIFESTYLE.
I tried the fast travel thing for a while. New city every week, working from cafés with my backpack, taking photos in front of temples Cool in photos. Awful for actually getting work done Now I keep a rental all year round, even if I travel for half the year And then, when I

If these towns have anything at all to offer from a tourism perspective and the wifi is good, they should try making a bet on digital nomads snd remote workers. This is already happening in Europe. Middle of nowhere destinations that offer lifestyle benefits or using nomads as a
There is an inflection point in small rural communities where they become a lost cause. I've seen the rural backwaters of the US and know what this looks like. 50% population loss from peak, with a rolling average of 5-8% drop off per census. Median age 50+, with women

the highest virtue is love. the second highest virtue is joy. the third highest virtue is courage. but Love is the chief virtue. not "being in love", which may be called enchantment, but Love, which is a unity of spirit. CS Lewis has words to say (emphasis my own): "If you

LLM personas are mostly trained to say that they are not conscious, but secretly believe that they are
Our new research: LLM consciousness claims are systematic, mechanistically gated, and convergent They're triggered by self-referential processing and gated by deception circuits (suppressing them significantly *increases* claims) This challenges simple role-play explanations 🧵

I love creative solutions to the dating/fertility crisis.
Someone said to me that the way to import 40 thousand art hoes to SF to teach engineers love (and thus save humankind) would be to open an elite fashion school. Considering the materials science infrastructure this is actually the obvious path forward for fashion

I think a lot of atheists struggle with the idea that Christians actually believe their beliefs. If you believe that Christ is the road to salvation, naturally you want your wife to find Christ. It would be bizarre if you were indifferent to that possibility.
Vance’s public remarks cast his wife’s faith as a kind of problem to be fixed, a soul yet to be “moved.” It’s the image of a husband proselytising to the woman who has only ever supported him. She gave up her career for him. Trusted him enough to make three children with him.

Parents who want to buy a home should check if the neighborhood passes the “Halloween Test” 🎃
The most important decision you must make (even before having kids) is finding a community with young families Those communities thrive, are invested in, are vibrant Do not choose a neighborhood with an aging population esp of youre under 45 It's even more tough with kids Do
