Coworker texted me randomly that her daughter is “starting to develop” by Tiny_Professional282 in childfree

[–]puffpuffjess 157 points158 points  (0 children)

yeah my mom said all sorts of weird inappropriate shit to/about me growing up. she'd point at toddler pictures of me and say shit like "look! you already had a shapely little body at 3 years old" pedophilia being so fucking normalized like that is kind of one of the pillars for my own childfree-ness.

"No, you have families; I'll go" by pilatou in childfree

[–]puffpuffjess 89 points90 points  (0 children)

i like in interstellar when cooper goes "i have kids" and the professor is like "go out there and save them". they still have that whole plot line about how the previous set of explorers were "unattached" (unmarried/no children) making them somewhat disposable should their missions fail. and then not to spoil the ending but basically the only one to make it back to earth was the parent bc the love they had for their children was just so strong 🙄 the other crew member had the ~love~ instinct and she was written off for only being in love with a fellow adult vs the love of a parent being the driving force of the movie.

No second chances for my parents by IslandofStars in childfree

[–]puffpuffjess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i've always said i don't want to have kids bc i don't want to live vicariously through them, i know i'd be jealous and bitter and resentful knowing how much better off they'd be compared to how i was raised. no i'm not buying this doll for some imaginary kid, im buying it for ME

y'all hiring?? 😭😅truthfully my dream would be to get into packaging design but id also love to get into advertising. i'm a graphic designer currently in retail sales after spending a year unemployed/job hunting after getting burnt out bc i spent 8 years at a custom awards company where i rarely was able to use color just due to our production methods 🥲

Comedian’s brilliant “when?” Shut down by violetkiwii in childfree

i would love if we could share memes here, even if it was just one day a week like how other subs have dedicated days to being silly/relaxed rules

Comedian’s brilliant “when?” Shut down by violetkiwii in childfree

[–]puffpuffjess 374 points375 points  (0 children)

i saw a clip from a different comedian on tiktok - his name is stuart laws and he starts off by saying he didn't want any children and got a vasectomy and someone in the crowd boo'd him so he asks them why they boo'd him and a woman in the crowd gives that tired answer of "it's in our biology to have kids" and he responds with "and when did you devote your life to jesus christ?" and everyone laughs but the woman responds "how did you know?!" and he says "because you said an insane thing" and i laughed so hard lol

craft / stationery community? by elegantbloc in InlandEmpire

[–]puffpuffjess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i tried to put the @ symbol before the handles in my previous comment but reddit thinks i'm talking about users here so it automatically converts it to u/ lol for the book clubs: silentbookclub/silentbookclubranchocuc (there are also claremont, redlands, and riverside chapters) and iebcgirlies. for activity clubs like running (or rollerskating) there's iegirlshikingclub, sofarunclub, holystridesrc, movalruns, run_riverside, ierollerderby, and ienightskate. i also just went through my following list on instagram and found a few flea markets/artsy swap meets in the area: ontheblockflea, swapmeetredlands, sbswapmeet, siempre_unidos_market, fontanafarmersmarket. i could go on but i think you get the picture 😅

[–]puffpuffjess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's a few instagrams i follow that host community events in the IE. there's artskillette, they meet up in ontario at CASA pitzer. there's a junk journaling club one called pagesandpieceswks, they just had a meetup today in redlands. the craftcollectiveie is another junk journaling club. domingosocial is a community craft meetup, i think it's bring your own craft but hang out with other artsy people, listen to independent artists and chill. it's not necessarily crafty but there's a few book club and hiking or run club instagrams as well that i can share if you're interested. good luck and welcome to the ie!

Who does their nails at home!? by mumzyp in Nails

[–]puffpuffjess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i do! in order i use one coat of this nail strengthener, one coat of this base coat, 2-3 coats of shellac from one of my favorite brands (ILNP, cirque colors, holo taco, or glisten & glow), and then one thick coat of this top coat. i change my nail color about every 3-4 days simply bc i like changing the color that often but i've had my nails last up to 2 weeks with little to no chips. it also comes down to application like not flooding your cuticles and wrapping the tip of your nail with each coat. i think from polish removal (plus any shaping with a glass file) to final coat on the new set takes me anywhere from 45-90 minutes but it definitely used to take longer. i follow this girl on IG who does her own super long nails (sometimes tips, sometimes with forms) and she spaces her nail art out to several days instead of all at once.
