✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

picture unrelated but it makes me happy to look at

climate doomerismHow do you cope with the impending climate collapse? I try so hard to just keep on going one day at a time but sometimes I get so deep in the darkness I have to go out and grab a coffee or something to keep my kid from seeing my mood and asking what's wrong.

I don't see the world being a good place for them to live by the time they're an adult and I feel intense guilt for bringing them into such a world. I've got plenty of arguments against antinatalism, I have plenty of theoretical reasons why people should continue to have children (only the fash having kids seems like a bad thing) but at the end of the day I feel like they will resent having been born when they find out that I was well aware of the state of the world at the time.

Sorry for the bad vibes.

If you don't have kids and reply I might get upset but I'll try to just ignore you
