[OC] I tracked the number of times my family mentioned me getting married over the past year, plotted and printed it.

I love being asked this and just being bluntly honest: never. Maybe foster or adopt when we can afford to, but not our own.

If they follow up with why: climate change is fucking us, concentration of wealth— nothing good coming down the pipe whatsoever. Also we can’t afford that shit. And there’s still kids to adopt and foster, so. Why make the world and our situation worse?

Because I’d make a good dad? I’d make a good lot of things, doesn’t grant me the right to indulge at everything’s expense. Because of my bloodline? Everything ends, I’d just be delaying it. My last name? A societal construct that really dicked over all the women’s last names and means nothing more than an odometer flipping over.

So no, not having kids.
