[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see no problem with this.  And I am a 55 yr old SAHM.

I see this as a young working woman working remotely during pandemic.  Her usual cleaning lady is not coming so her apt is messy. She is eating at home instead of in restaurants and office cafeteria so all the take-out containers.  And  she is not been able to get herself waxed because she is not dating IRL. She can let it all go because she is only responsible for herself and her cats, but not kids and a household.    I see freedom.

Also, the human population is not on the verge of extinction. There is no reason for people to procreate unless they want to.

I do not see someone who is sad. And women do not have to have kids to be complete. [/quote]

50-year old mother of two. This is what I see, too.  Freedom from expectations.  [/quote]

57 y.o. mom here -- I'm with the posters above.  This is a representation of one person's experience during the pandemic; it doesn't purport to be the best life or the only life choice.  The illustration is titled "Love Life" and it made me smile and think of my oldest DC's pandemic dating experience.  I'm a New Yorker subscriber and seeing the cover each week is always a treat.  When our kids were younger, the cover illustrations, strategically left out on our breakfast table, would often spark interesting conversations, as this one is here.  Namaste, y'all.      [/quote]
