whenever people say things like “I don’t want to bring children into this horrible world” I ponder about the people who had kids during the Black Death, when it felt like God was actually abandoning humanity in real time. maybe those people didn’t see parenthood as a choice

The Great Plague of 1348: “They fell ill in their thousands. Many dropped dead in the open streets...” There was such a multitude of corpses that there wasn’t enough burial ground. “...as if the city had been emptied.” “Would the world ever be so full and prosperous again?” https://t.co/FiVyKeIq9N
