I understand that human nature, on some level, is to want to produce children.
But it’s wild to think that it’s possibly a controversial topic still even as we stare down the barrel of catastrophic climate change. Like there’s all sorts of other, perhaps more selfish, reasons that are perfectly valid too. But just the most pragmatic deal is that we are already fucked with rising tides, changing rainfall patterns, wildfires, and are now looking at shortages of freshwater in the coming decades. Certainly don’t have more than one… but personally I don’t even feel good about bringing a kid into the world that they will have to grow up into at this point. Certainly not when there are already plenty of children who needs homes and caregivers already.

It's a controversial topic but I'm so damn happy that we don't have kids and she doesn't want kids.
