There's a huge appetite right now for people in power who just unapologetically and bluntly describe the situation we're in.

A recent development made a tight situation much worse, so I'm putting out my hat with urgency. It relates to unexpected medical expenses close to home.
Thank you so much to those who've helped! As a token of appreciation/good faith, I've been making little MSPaint things; they're in the replies.
I get the anti-car leftists even if I disagree because anyone can potentially die in a car crash, but it's deeply weird to see people who claim they're personally childfree also get on the "Anyone who rolls their eyes when someone brings a toddler into a restaurant should be put in Arkham."

11.08.2025 02:22 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think "ableism" gets overused sometimes but damn, people pathologizing other people who don't like being around small children definitely feels ableist. Given that I'm also uncomfortable around large dogs I should just go full W.C. Fields just to spite everyone.
11.08.2025 02:20 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Well I don't trust people who gleefully pathologize other people who have traits that don't affect them in the slightest, especially while unconvincingly saying they're not being ableist about it (seriously, can you read people's minds to know why they don't like children?), so I guess we're even.
11.08.2025 02:04 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Thank you. The bizarre need of some people on the Internet to pathologize people who don't like kids is far more disturbing than anyone not liking kids.

Despite kind of being the opposite experience I wanted, it was gorgeously animated fun. Finally millennial nostalgia pays off!
