Yesterday my mom posted a picture on Facebook of my 5 year old brother Sam wearing a pair of shoes he picked out for his first day of preschool.

She explained to him in the store that they were really made for girls. Sam then told her that he didn’t care and that “ninjas can wear pink shoes too.”

Sam went to preschool and got several compliments on his new shoes. Not one kid said anything negative toward him about it.

However, my mom received about 20 comments on the photo from various family members saying how “wrong” it is and how “things like this will affect him socially” and, put most eloquently by my great aunt, “that shit will turn him gay.”

My mom then deleted the photo and told Sam that he can wear whatever he wants to preschool, that it’s his decision. If he wants to wear pink shoes, he can wear pink shoes.

Sam then explained to her that he didn’t like them because they were pink, he liked them because they were “made out of zebras” and zebras are his favorite animal :)

#this shit just doesn’t matter to kids #so why does it matter to adults?

Okay, can I just…

Mark. Mark Gatiss. You look gorgeous and handsome and completely inappropriately fuckable in that outfit.

That is seriously one of the best outfits you’ve ever worn.

It makes you look so dashing and handsome and wonderful and gorgeous that I cannot understand anyone not immediately falling in love with you.

Also your hands and your gingerbeard and can you please stop looking like sex personified.

Okay, goodbye.

During a temporary layoff in 2008, we found out he was going to join the family. We couldn’t afford prenatal care, so we applied for medicade only to be told by the State of Nevada that we made $50/mo too much while on unemployment and insurance cost more than we made even after the layoffs ended. Because he wasn’t born yet, they didn’t consider him a person and wouldn’t include him in the income calculation.

We sold what little we owned and moved in with my mother in-law outside Brisbane until he was old enough to fly home. The flights and moving costs to Australia were >5% of what prenatal care and his birth would have cost.

When immigrating to a country on the far side of the planet is more economical than giving birth to a child, something is broken.

AND THAT’S WHY WE DON’T FUCKING NEED AN OCCUPY MELBOURNE/SYDNEY/BRISBANE
