I have an 17 year-old and a 19 year-old.

And I like them.

That's okay. Wait until you find out how much I question your sanity.

Mothers and fathers are physiologically different and their responsibilities lie, therefore, under different focus. Even if they are capable of subsistuting each other.

I feel sorry for anyone who is so depraved that they are resentful for spending time with their own offspring.

Well, theoretically, at least. I haven't checked in every particular instance or measured, or whatever.

Exactly.

I'd stay with my kids no matter what, but the Mom who was always there for her kids will find her kids at her deathbed. The Mom that didn't have time for her kids will find that her kids don't have time to visit her on her deathbed.

Nah, I like the chocolate beans! But sometimes people don't know how to handle them well. I'm from Europe, so I grew up with awesome chocolate.

I've also tried Hershey's and Asian chocolate, those are certainly overrated!

Growing up, my mom hoped I'd convert to a coffee drinker.

I traveled with a pastor and my mom jokingly asked him to influence me.

Eh, after about a year of me being on his team traveling about once a month, he took a break from coffee 😅

Then I worked as a substitute teacher for a bit, also a super heavy coffee culture and lots of people convert there. Nope, still not for me.

Then I worked at a church for a while, another high coffee consumption place, still nothing.

Then I worked nights at a hotel... the day staff kept being surprised how much energy I had in the mornings, still without having had any coffee!

Now I'm married to someone who likes coffee, and my mom has handed over the reins, hoping that maybe at least my husband would be able to convert me.

I have tried his coffee sometimes, (TINY sips) and I have to admit that it doesn't have as big of a negative effect on me as it did before, but still not for me.

Then I tried his mocha once, and it was better, but still had that awful aftertaste.

However, the Starbucks peppermint mocha cut the aftertaste, so I have had one of those, once! And I finished all 12 oz!

However, those are super expensive so I would not consider myself converted yet! 😎🤣

Yes!! Stop tearing down nature for crappy neighborhoods.

There can be enough space for men to be masculine and women to be feminine, without rejecting and ostracizing people who don’t vibe with either category. Embrace who you are. If someone rejects that, they can fuck off.

This is true for men in the context of (whichever type of) feminism that rejects masculinity. This is true for women in the face of being pressured to work (or being pressured into motherhood). It’s true for trans people in a world that denies their lived experience.

Indigenous cultures often acknowledge (and respect) an alternative way of identifying oneself, and neurobiological studies show significantly different brain activity and hormones in people who feel different inside vs out.

I have never experienced this feeling, and it would be arrogant to claim that I know much about it.

But I know what it feels like to be a man. It means confidence and standing tall, but that’s very different from abusing your power.

It means respecting (and protecting) the lives and experiences of people around me. It means respecting women’s power, and weakness. It means acknowledging my own strengths and flaws, ones that I share with many of my brothers. Being grounded in masculinity means holding space for the differences between us.

The culture war bullshit is, indeed, bullshit. And pendulums will always swing. But my hope is that, as we move closer to equilibrium, more of us will learn to abide in compassion, and become able to listen without immediately believing OR rejecting the views of those around us, and bring more Light into the lives of those around us. We’re all conditioned by our environment, and it can take immense effort to unravel that conditioning and experience the world for what it is.

I believe in human goodness - it’s why I Bitcoin. It’s why I’m here on Nostr.

But we have a long way to go.

Waiting on Superman is a centralized approach. Maybe there needs to a noble woman trend that stack sats.

You know, work smarter and not harder. But proof of work motherless.

We don't wear shoes in our household.

Do you?

there is noble men and women!

there is noble men and women!

not at all, i think taking care of your wife and allowing her to stay home, children or not, is a very noble thing.

I will say, i feel as modern men are very much expecting women to work and provide half of the finances. i know many men that refuse to take care of their women so they can stay at home, its depressing.

Being negative all the time must be so exhausting

Come on at least 20% homo

Don't be fooled,

Elon Musk is seizing power.

Yes, it's good that he's getting rid of USAID. No doubt.

But remember that step 1 of getting power is to purge your competition.

In China, Xi Jinping calls it: reforming corruption

In Russia, the Kremlin also cracks down on corruption

In the fictional movie the Hunger Games, Coin tried to become queen, by framing it as rebellion against Snow.

And in my (subjective opinion), what we're seeing right now in the USA, is in-fighting within the CIA, over who is top dog. I don't know everything but I'll tell you this,

Stay on Nostr. Stay vigilant.
