I always tell my boyfriend that we are their worst fear, working class people who are typically pitted against eachother loving one another so much that we become family. That's partially why they hype up the nuclear family so much, they don't want you to realize you can love anyone like that

Some people were pretty incredulous when we published this before the election www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

it's wild how much this behavior is like - exactly the way my father behaves. It's highlighting the fact that 1. I was definitely abused my entire life 2. I'm very good at decoding what insecure and narcissistic people actually mean lol and what they'll actually do (cause they constantly lie)

The future we were promised: "you'll all be chilling and eating figs under the sun while the computers will do all the work"

Trump has just put sanctions on our largest supplier of cut flowers and coffee days before Valentine's day.

Point to Lula.
