He is holding a literal sink.

We aren't talking about rasing a kid in a literal village within a Neoliberal society. "It takes a village" is an idiom about how the entire community should help to properly raise a child.

The saying emphasizes that a child’s upbringing is a communal effort involving many different people and groups, from parents to teachers to neighbors and grandparents.

The whole idea underscores the belief that the collective involvement of a community is essential in achieving a certain goal or completing a task, like raising a kid.

Essentially, it’s a friendly reminder that asking for help with hard things is okay because many hands make light work.

Hori horis are also great for mushroom foraging. Just make sure to get one with a cut resist scabbard. My leather scabbard sliced open.

My daughter loves rage against the machine and jazz24. However ever since I showed her the Sound of Music (1965) to introduce the topic of fascism and Nazis to her, she's been listening to that nonstop. Its a great film with a great soundtrack though so I can't complain too much. Still, slowly weaning her off. Maybe I should have let her watch the producers?

I've always thought of the political spectrum more like a circle.

Would you like to add genocide to that with just a few purchases from platforms owned by literal white supremacists?

This is not a depiction of a village, this is what happens when the village no longer exists and everyone has to live in isolation from any social safety nets. Or to put it another way, Neoliberalism.
