This is a completely valid point! Aprons are far more utilitarian than they are given credit for, and too many people see the apron as some frilly little accessory because homemakers happened to appreciate their usefulness and worth. I wish you all the best in your apron-using endeavors!!
can we eliminate the association of aprons with housewives? i own an apron and i live in it. i'm not the stay-at-home-mom type. i'm not the one who'd look after the kids and cook and clean all day. but i made this apron myself, and whenever i'm doing anything remotely messy, i wear it. doing dishes? apron. making banana bread? apron. painting, whether watercolor or acrylic? apron. using glue for anything? apron. repotting my succulents? apron. they're so useful. it's ridiculous. my dad called me 'little suzy homemaker' yesterday. i literally do not give a shit. this is a nice shirt and i will not ruin it with cake batter, karen
Hey just a quick psa because I haven’t done one of these in a while IF YOU ARE A TERF GET OFF MY FUCKING BLOG!!! I don’t care what the fuck you call yourself, terf, gender critical, or whatever bullshit, if you don’t support trans people, I want you gone!
TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN
TRANS MEN ARE MEN
NON-BINARY IDENTITIES ARE REAL AND VALID
You either stand with the entire lgbt+ community or you stand with none of it. I stand with my trans siblings and if you don’t, get off my blog
This was going to be the year that I started trying to make more friends too, as well as looking for potential partners, because ideally my plan was to have a kid in the next couple years after I get my BSW, and there are, ahem, preceding things that need to happen for that. Looks like those plans got cancelled for this semester, and I only hope this all blows over by the fall semester for that reason. I don’t want to be the girl who’s pushing marriage and kids a few months into dating someone!
I’ll start. My petty gripe during this whole thing is that I was saving up to buy a computer and some nice software so I could teach myself special effects and advanced video editing for my backup career plan and now that my job is shut down I have to keep all my savings to apply for grad schools next year and since my summer job got cancelled I might not even have enough for that.
Also my favorite taco shop is shut down and I’m pissed about it!
It honestly amazes me how many of my friends and women I know would love to be homemakers but they are embarrassed to admit it. Its sad that it is assumed that all women should want to be “hustlers” and “boss ladies” and wanting to being a homemaker is seen as outdated and having a lack of ambition.
I’ll admit that I’m a little shy talking about my true goals sometimes, but when I get to connect with another woman who shares the same aspirations it really means so much to me.
*Just want to make it clear that I’m not hating on women who have career goals. I love and support them too!
Pink!
You don’t have to call me out like that!

If my femininity within the context of my own life threatens you to the point that you feel the need to attack my life choices, maybe you need to reevaluate why you feel so threatened by traditional feminity. Because it’s not like I’m asking you to live the same way I do.
I’m just asking for the same freedom you want, to live in a way that makes me happy.
Canary, she/her, they/them. 23, wlw. I created this blog as an oasis from the toxic parts of the tradfem community on here, and I hope that I can inspire others unlike me and provide a haven for those like me. Asks are open, but if you have a problem with me or something I posted, please read my About page. Hopefully we can avoid some drama this way. Feel free to send the ask anyway, but be aware I might redirect you to my about page if I explain my stance better there. I am always looking for ways to better myself as a person. Please enjoy your stay.
