Gregory's Server@CatDragon @rbreich My great grandma died after ruining her body with 9 kids because she didn't have access to birth control.
Fetishizing low-tech eras without thinking about the enormous body counts those involve is ridiculous.

@CatDragon @rbreich And people who live in urban areas and are working two jobs would have the time, energy and skills to do all this when, exactly? Your little cottagecore life works for you, and that's fine. But it's not how modern life works for millions of other people.  @textualdeviance @rbreich not cottage core, been doing this my entire life, urban, suburban, and rural. Worked a good 50-60 hours a week and raised two kids. Is everyone able to do it? No. But if you can you should. Disposable everything is killing us. @CatDragon Do you vote for Democrats in every election? Because I guarantee you that a person who uses disposable diapers but votes every time is doing way more for the planet than a non-voter who thinks their homesteading skills make them morally superior. Individual actions don't have anywhere near the same impact on climate change that changes in public policy do. @textualdeviance I vote and attend every town meeting, even the reaaaally boring ones. @textualdeviance also WHY homesteading skills as a description ? |
@textualdeviance @rbreich fetishizing?
I live in the country. I hang my clothes out, compost, garden, and can food. I frequently wash clothes by hand. I used cloth diapers on my kids. There’s nothing wrong with being self sufficient and environment friendly.
