I don't know what I did to deserve this level of kindness, but I am thankful 💙

My favorite argument is "It's so selfish to not want kids."

Really? Because bringing another living creature into the world, with all the implications, JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL LIKE IT, isn't selfish?

And then, amazingly, they follow it up with "But who's gonna look after you when you're old?"

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"

Stop by for some joy and whimsy.

Consider this your invitation for some happy to break up the doom scrolling.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.
