@irina oh i completely missed that section — the only reference to kids i saw was the study that reported married workers with kids were more likely to get raises than people living alone, because managers assumed that people with kids would have additional expenses
@hafnia@weirder.earth @irina mhm yeah i’d generally assume someone who is grocery shopping/cooking for one isn’t a parent
@irina i did not interpret that article as being about single parents!
@netkitty thanks kitn! *snuggles back*
re: astielle ch 30 nsfw spoilers
@KittyUnpretty fortunately that's logistically complex enough that readers wont be able to tell if you've kept track of everything, either?
@Lady huh thats an odd choice
@netkitty yes pls
@netkitty *curls up beside u*
@alpine_thistle jesus as accounted by humans ~a generation after his death does seem to be pretty chill yeah
@alpine_thistle but also yeah this isn’t my area but like, generally the issue with the kind of texts that got canonized is that they’re always hella edited
Especially the letters, those kinds of public letters between communities are SO sus
@alpine_thistle is paul sitting there face in his palms like ‘i didnt even write half of that stuff’
@netkitty *purrs*
@magicalmilly yeah i sorta figured they must have had a really terrible childhood to think institutionalization would have been preferable and since they didn’t seem open to discussion I just sorta left
But yeah handing a whole bunch of children over to the state for institutional care, historically ranged from ‘well i guess its technically better than some of the alternatives’ (eg. orphanages) to ‘objectively horrifying’
@netkitty *blinks back*
@magicalmilly i once had someone tell me that in their ideal society, all children were raised in institutions by the state
Because because the power dynamic parenting entails was inherently abusive of course (how the state mandated child rearers would avoid not just…also making rules and telling kids what to do for the purposes of keeping them fed, clean, educated, etc was not explained)
