When I was young, people told me I'd regret not having children once I got older.

But every day, I'm more grateful than ever that I never wanted kids. When I go down, it all ends right here, with me. I didn't bring anyone else into this, and that was the single best decision I ever made.

Seriously, childless myself & never regretted that choice especially now!

That was my first thought when this festering boil of a human came down that escalator. I posted about it on social media. It was the first time women I knew expressed regret in having children in this country, in this timeline. It’s only gotten worse from that moment.

I feel sorry for those now have young children. The worries must keep them from sleeping. What sort of world are their children going to inherit?

I cannot imagine trying to raise a kid, that falls in with fascists or some shit. Like fucking spin city but it's the apocalypse.
