There is a difference between just giving birth and actual raising children. Between birth parents, adopted parents.. There a plenty scenarios that exist: parents diying, family torn apart by war, parents becoming addicted. The queer community has a strong connection to found family. And of course all the people that never want and never will have children.

There are a lot of things in this world that could be much, much better right now. But the question, if life itself has a meaning is old as civilisation. But that's a thing noone can really answer. shouldn’t we ask ourself what could we do to create a world where we all can live in? Where we all can participate, been heared and seen?

I think giving birth is not the problem, but billionars and companies destroying our World and our lives since decades. And no one seem to make them responsibil for it.

When climate change hits us, there is a big chance that rich people will survive and will try to form a world as they please. They could erase feminism, queer folk, the diversity of culture, democraty. They will erase the fact that they destoried our world. So the humans that remain will be like slaves to them.

To have children or not is a deeply personal choice ☺️

And also personal is the search for meaning in ones own existence. While searching we create: life, art, relationships, meaning. Memes. I think life becomes a burden, when external factors keep you from creating the meaning that you care for.

But speaking as a historian: we put a lot of presure on parents over the last decades. And the same presure on kids. It is relateable that having children or just excisting has become so... whats a fitting english word?.. not desireable?

I agree with you.

I think argueing if adhd might be over or under diagnosed makes adulds feel even more ashamed.

I also don't like blaming self diagnosis. Women having a hard time finding professionell help, cause they never fit into stereotypical adhd behaivor. They seen as overreacting and emotional.

I think it's kinda sad when a kid really blames their parents that it was born.

I come from a deeply traumatized and broken family. I've had this believe for a long time. But by blaming my parents i am just reducing myself, my value and my autonomy. And i am reducing the complexity of life, history and my parents 🤔

Don't mind me, i am just philosophicly reflecting on my life.

Ich hatte ein langes Wochenende und konnte die Sonne genießen. War schwimmen, bin Roller gefahren und hatte leckeres Essen. Ich habe sogar ein Bild malen können 😊

Mein Freund ist Samstag zu seinen Eltern nach Köln gefahren und wollte Sonntag Morgen zurückkommen. Aber das viel ins Wasser: immer wieder sind Personen ins Gleis bei Mühlheim gelaufen. Nach 2 Stunden kam endlich ein Zug, die Strecke wurde freigegeben, er setzt sich rein und dann die Nachricht "Strecke wird wieder gesperrt. Die gleiche Person scheint wieder am Gleis rumzulaufen...".

Wir waren ziemlich mit den Nerven am Ende. Die Zugführer auch. Haben dann den Sonntag Videospiele gezockt.

Yes. I search a good figdet toy, but all i find online is either shitty or mega expensiv. There is like no way of finding these things in local stores.

I add: reading the rulebooks/ description of the ttrpg world. The rules are dry to read and the flauvor is often vague. Often i read and can't remember the stuff seconds later 😆

What is also boring af are discussions with players, who are no historians, but say "this fantasy setting is sooo authentic middle age!".

I knew my gender identity was a lie

You know... on saturday i had a pretty bad headache and felt asleep on the couch... my boyfriend woke me up an hour later to show me this new phenomenon on Necralisk. And that a lot of tennos just standing there listening.

I was awake immediately and felt a shiver... Never thought one sound could make me so hyped!

I am so excited for the future of warframe to come!

18€ a month, cause in germany we have the gez gebühren to keep journalism in good quality

You have totaly a point there.

I am working in cultural heritage, so creating bounds that last over jobs is crucial. Who are you on good terms with? Who has a strong opinion on topic x? Who could help you with that non profit project? Who can you take seriosly and who is a scammer?

Working with these kind of people can be so amazing.

But cultural heritage is passion driven, a lot of ways to burn out in that feld or do unpaid work. The silent war against big companies is hard.
