Oh Julia Mazur, you brave soul
For showing us life free and whole
From the darkness of hate
Your courage will create
A world where everyone is in control

Not to be a killjoy, but does anyone really want to watch on TV if their kid isn't, like, *in* it?

We spent the morning at the Aquarium with Kyle's siblings and our niece and nephew. As much as I adore those kids, I was very happy not to deal with the 1pm naptime meltdown 😆 they left and we just enjoyed the aquarium by ourselves haha

Listening to a podcast, thinking that I keep hearing about how a higher percentage of the community are LGBT+ when compared to the general population & I wonder if there's a similar correlation between being & ?

I don't have any children and I'm happy with that.

Even if the future was bright, I wouldn't want to.
Even if I was healthier, I wouldn't want to.
Even if childcare was guaranteed, I wouldn't want to.
Even if I was wealthy, I wouldn't want to.
Even if the world's population was very small, I wouldn't want to.

There are no ifs that could make me want a child.

I don't want to go through pregnancy, childbirth or adoption.
I don't want to raise a baby, a small child or a teenager.
I don't look forward to having adult children coming to visit.

I believe that ideally children should come into this world wanted. Simply not wanting to, shouldn't that be reason enough?

I made a thing!

nokidsbooks.com

It has lists of books for, by, and about childless and childfree people.

It also has some information for librarians about making libraries more inclusive around these issues.

It's a little rough around the edges still, but I'm proud I've gotten it this far.

Wow, I had no idea August 1st is International Childfree Day, but it's actually been celebrated for 50 years!

Happy childfree day to everyone choosing not to create any new people, for whatever reason you choose!

For me it's that I don't want more people to suffer, and I'd rather spend my resources working to mitigate the suffering of already existing people.Whatever your reason is, it is valid.

Happy Day! (Aug 1st)

To all who seek community and friendship under this banner.

Let's celebrate the pursuit of a lifestyle that make despots and clowns like Musk and Johnson so very angry. 🥳

Wishing a very happy International Childfree Day to all those who celebrate. Sharing this gem from my niece (as reported by her mother):

Niece: What do Cynthia and Ben do all day if they don’t have kids to look after?
Sister in Law: *sigh* Whatever they want to do

@2hip2bL7 @ScotttSee very much agree with choosing to live especially when there's plenty of nieces and nephews around! being good/available uncles and aunties is an underappreciated offering to society 👶😊🫂 @RickiTarr

The local meteorologist just asked, with complete seriousness, whether kids still use number 2 pencils. He’s the only one in the studio without kids and they are not letting him get out of this one 😂

Also still 🤯 that we have districts starting today. It’s July y’all. Wtf.

I kinda feel attacked by this reply. Women always get villainized for choosing to be . I mean saan hinugot yung being rude and trying to change their minds? I’m just asking what do you guys reply when someone told you might regret not having kids? Isn’t that a rude statement? 🤧
