Believing marriage and having children is cool and sexy

I’ve noticed a counter culture movement brewing online where the emphasis seems to be on rejecting neoliberal ideas of individualism and increasingly atomized living as a sort of virtue for the sake of our children who would suffer at the hands of climate catastrophe or just the cold hard reality of consciousnesses. Accounts like @carnivoreaurelius or @saveyoursons offer practical advice about the benefits of high quality red meats, the dangers of seed oils, not sunning your asshole enough and soulless dating apps. They provide some respite from the nauseating reality of the current leftist ideology that’s left a lot of us childless at 30 because of eugenicist level logic like “why would I contribute to our planet’s overpopulation issue?”. Pundits like Jordan Peterson and Candace Owens have built entire careers off this grift of “no nonsense” steps to a better, more righteous life. Don’t get me wrong, are these neoconservative pysops? Sure. But at this point it’s just about choosing which psyop makes life on Earth tolerable for you. I grew up in a culture that shunned the idea of marriage and children altogether because it reminded us of the traumatic lives our female ancestors just had to accept due to their lack of autonomy. Some cope by stating how relieved they are to enjoy their 20s without the responsibility of family and that they have plenty of time not realizing how hard pregnancy is on the body after the age of 32 or how expensive it is to freeze your eggs or adopt. I was repulsed by the idea for most of my life and then it hit me about a year ago…without a solid partner and cute fat babies around, life is kind of a hollow boring nightmare.

BEESWAX CLOTHS

I've been wanting to do this for yearrrrs. Finally. FINALLYYY. It doesn't stick to glass, but it does stick to itself. 100% cotton fabric, prewash and dry. Cut with a shearing scissors to prevent fraying. (Or hem.) I opted for a 1:1:1 ratio of beeswax, coconut oil, and pine resin. Double boiler to melt. Apply less and layer the wax as needed. Mm... Spreading with a spoon did not work as well as a silicone brush. Iron under parchment paper to spread + seal. (Or bake at 200⁰ F briefly.) Hottt water + soap for clean up (hands, utensils, etc.) Cold water to clean the cloths, as needed. *A steamer can take out any wax mix spills on the floor. (We listen, and we don't judge ) I love it. It made my kitchen smell like pine and propolis.

GUERILLA GARDENING

*Native* Seed B*mbs. The local wildlife will love you for it. TLDR: Mix native seeds with soil, clay, and water, forming them into balls and then letting them dry. Long form: Native wildflower seeds, compost, clay (powder or clay soil), and water. Mix Ingredients: Combine the clay and compost in a bowl, ensuring a 3:1 ratio of clay to compost. Gradually add water while mixing, aiming for a dough-like consistency. Add Seeds: Incorporate the native wildflower seeds into the mixture. Form Balls: Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, roughly 1-inch in diameter. Dry and Store: Place the seed balls on a flat surface to dry for 24-48 hours in a cool, shady place. Store the dried balls in a cardboard box until ready to plant. Distribute: Scatter the seed balls in your desired planting area.
