trying to explain to someone depressed that today yes, you want to die.. but soon you'll just want a long nap, and then a cleaner room, and then tea with an old friend, and then a run, and then rewarding working, and then to love, serve, and beget. and all this happens so quietly

a lot of women in sf get one-shotted by this trad hysteria because they have no antibodies.
like lmao, i grew up in the south.. overweight old people have been telling me something like this since i left to university. you can just ignore it.
I’m not impressed by most childless people who are 35 FWIW.
Almost none of them are doing anything extraordinary or groundbreaking in lieu of having children. Especially the women.
Probably, the best thing you’re going to do in your life as a woman requires the use of your ovaries. I know you don’t want to hear it but it’s true!

another tragic indication of the great McKinsey-ification of the startup scene
Officially introducing Raise, my deck template designed specifically for early-stage founders raising VC capital
its an 88 page deck template in @figma and newly launched Figma Slides with 5+ variations of all the slides you’d need in a winning pitch deck
i’m launching with an early bird offer of $99.99 — 33% off the $150 i’m raising it to shortly
buy it here: brand-sprints.com/deck-templ…

some SF people in their mid 30s are like yes uh i'll be outrageously rich soon.. and truly maybe! but while wanting a family, they delay having children to noxiously bet on the upside of a very risky game.. anyways, while being in my 20s, i take this type as a cautionary tale.

next time freedom club, next time.
THE SAN FRANCISCO FREEDOM CLUB IS BACK
Go to sffc DOT party in your favorite browser and follow the instructions
The MO of the club is epic parties, and the first party was extremely special. The anticipation for the second is high. On Friday, December 13th we will hold a sexy holiday soiree in a new venue, a grand, historic building in the middle of SF. We’ll have some great live music, and serve some particularly elevated drinks. Your favorite free thinking people in SF are already signed up ;)
The mission of the club is simple. To celebrate the values that made America so great. It’s important that we promote them, and as a community that we show our support and love for them.
The club is not explicitly partisan. And not explicitly political either. There won’t be speeches, discussion groups, or anything very serious at all.
SFFC 1 was a tremendous success. But for this to continue to work, it needs your continued help. Not only does it need you and your freedom loving friends there, but it needs you to show your public support and excitement. So PLEASE: like, RT, comment, and otherwise get the word out. Thank you.
See you soon in San Francisco :) Capacity will be limited, and the last party was 3,100 people oversubscribed, so if you’re interested request to join now

this is so SMART !! wow so not ping pong tables, but money motivates people ?? that’s crazy, need to write this down
My single biggest lesson on managing teams:
Ping pong tables and happy hours are BS.
The best ingredient to a 🔥 company culture is momentum, great numbers and ultimately success.
Successful teams that are on 🔥 always have great culture.

i was just saying this ad feels.. uh bad. also i looked into freezing my eggs last year, so i do wonder what kind of deal this is for young women early in their careers.
assume you're a young woman who freezes 20 eggs there's an 85% chance of one resulting in a birth! if half are sold, what's the likelihood of the remainder?
also, does the donor family receive your most viable eggs for immediate fertilization? this marketplace incentivizes as much, they have a "baby guarantee" for paying families. if yes, it's more likely another family has your offspring than you!
if i unfroze in my thirties, husband secured, aching even more for motherhood, and my frozen eggs were unviable.. i guess i could stay in the ecosystem and purchase someone poorer and younger's eggs aaaaaaaaa.

lol, lmao even
This is a great question, but it starts in daily life. Here’s some super easy things states and companies could do to honor families.
-All airlines, TSA lines, and other forms of travel should allow families to board first, before priority and first class. Family lanes should be required.
-Carpool lanes on highways renamed family lanes. Florida should do this asap. @GovRonDeSantis
-every parking lot should be required by law to have family reserved parking, just like handicapped parking, for the safety of mothers and children.
-Family lanes at all stores for ease of checkout.
-Reserved seating for families at churches, houses of worship and other community spaces where children should be encouraged to go.
In short, society should beat us over the head that families take priority above class, work and other forms of identity or protected groups, because family is the backbone of our civilization.
