peacetime and wartime https://t.co/s3qdKOYkNv
coming to see a lot of indian mothers as good wartime soldiers they’ll get the nappies changed, kids fed, children married they won’t be as good at peacetime though. they don’t know as much about authenticity or freedom or individuation those things are superfluous in wartime
