This is what I think of whenever some dipshit alt-right person says “have more kids than you can afford”.
It’s child abuse idc. If you can’t afford to give a child a good life, don’t be fucking selfish and have one anyway. Why are you TRYING to get pregnant in poverty!??
At 10 years old Kaylie Hegwood told a camera what hunger feels like. "Sad and all droopy." When a cooking show came on TV, she said, she wanted to vanish into the screen and start eating the food.
She lived in Stockton, Iowa, with her mom and her 12-year-old brother Tyler. Her mom had lost a factory job. The family was living on $320 a week in unemployment plus food stamps. Kaylie walked the railroad tracks looking for cans, 5 cents for a good one, 2 cents for a crushed one.
In the video below she sits on a swing in the yard and talks about it the way you'd describe your school day.
They don't get three meals. If there's cereal there's no milk, if there's milk there's no cereal. "Switch and swap." At 0:31 she explains her trick for when she's starving. She thinks of something else, and then she's not hungry anymore.
At 1:07 she tells you what she's afraid of. "Me and my brother will starve."
Then one of the dogs had to go. Nala was the one who slept on your bed. "We're getting rid of my perfect little lovey dog." Watch 1:22. At the shelter a worker asks if they want the leash and collar back, and you hear Kaylie. "Collar, Mom."
They gave up the house and moved into a motel room with no fridge. "This sink is our fridge." They got a rented duplex and lost that too. By the end of filming she was out of school because they kept moving.
She tried to work out why this had happened to her. "I think my mom, she kind of made a wrong turn or something."
Then at 2:02 you hear what a 10-year-old thinks is coming.
"If I keep missing school, then I see my future poor, on the streets, in a box."
Filming began in 2011, in the richest country on earth.
Kaylie did get back to school. The shelter said Nala went to a very nice family. FRONTLINE kept following her for 14 years, and in 2025 she was grown and expecting a child of her own.
"Changing the cycle that you were born into is very hard."
Was Kaylie failed by one wrong turn, or by a country where a dog collar can be the last thing a kid gets to keep?

Things I have learnt today.
Boys books "don't count" as boys books if:
The lead is black.
The lead is gay.
The lead wants to be a therapist when he grows up.
The book explores a relationship between father & son (this counts as gay)
There is a girl in it.
The girl does

I need women to stop treating male leadership like it's some natural order. Men aren't born to lead women, and women aren't born to follow them.

I’ve been saying this for years.
Homophobia and racism will always be taken more seriously than misogyny. Why? Because both racism and homophobia affect men.

Pay attention
Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵

When a system doesn't work for men, the system is blamed. But when a system doesn't work for women, women just have to adjust.

What creeps call romantic is either cringe, bleach bath, or both.
Note this part for the so called brocode. The brocode has never been about honor or loyalty, only covering for abusive men. It's men who constantly shit on younger men to try to persuade women to choose grandpas.
