I think next week either on Tuesday or Wednesday I'll take myself to the botanical gardens and then I'll get some good takeout and relax at home

further comment on my post about birth rate and natalism. a lot of women responded, "yes and also so many of us want children but can't afford to have them!" it's totally a fair and important comment to make, but after seeing 100 of them in a row i feel like i have to add... look, my research suggests so far that all types of socialist intervention which make childbearing more attractive for women still do not bring the birth rate above replacement. when i say in that post that the evidence doesn't bear out a version of natalism that is feminist, that's what i mean. what i have read so far strongly suggests that the completely free birth rate as far as we have ever been able to see so far in modern history is probably slightly below replacement. consider that even if you personally want children, if you want fewer than three children, your desires point toward the maintenance of a below-replacement birth rate. for every woman who doesn't want any children, another woman must want five to push the birth rate above replacement. the fact that the birth rate is below replacement is the exact thing that the antifeminist right considers an emergency. so, the argument that women would have more children in a more equitable economy, although it's probably true, is not enough for them and we need to be aware of the weakness in that argument. read this anti-feminist piece in compact magazine for an example of their perspective.

i worry about the consequences of the argument, "well, we would have more children if the state would perform a different policy intervention than the one the right is suggesting." i feel that this argument represents a type of socialist natalism. again, i understand where the comment comes from, but my point is that attempting to alter the decision of a women to not have a child should not be an appropriate motivation for policy intervention point blank. that's why i think we need to be generating economic ideas that presume below-replacement birth rate is the only free and just demographic future for all human beings.

#half baked thpught but why does the population need to steadily go up and up and up forever? is it not okay for the population to naturally #fluctuate? #or is it kind of a once it starts declining it will keep going forever without intervention sort of thing?

they changed to a diff loyalty program right before I started working at my job and they are already switching to another one

also it's just a fact I haven't been getting more than 7 hours asleep on more than 1 days per week for several months so it adds up that I feel so awful

#literally got 4.5 hours last night.

sorry to keep going on about this but it feels like my entire body is burning and im in no mood to do anything to actually make myself feel better and actually doing calming activities and relaxing is simply not in the cards at all today or tomorrow or the next day or the day after that etc

I desperately need another day to unwind.

when men are bloody (the crowd claps)….. when men are sobbing messes with tear stained cheeks and red rimmed eyes (the crowd goes yippee and woohoo)….. when men writhe and squirm on the ground in pain (crowd goes wild and people cry tears of joy)!!

my internal monologue is plural bc there is the horse and there is the rider. the horse is very very tired all the time and wants to lie down and take a nap and maybe graze in the field with horse friends but the rider sees that there is so much ground to cover and no time or place to rest
