Graphic with two children, one wearing a green crown and one wearing a knight's helmet, carrying a sword and shield Kings are fine for storytime. Knights are fun to play.

Opinions on this tool for contacting elected officials?

Someone is purging! Do you have a personal stance on reading the work of abusers? I can argue both sides but have never been a Gaiman fan so not struggling with the decision in this case.

We totally forgot about this happening today and were soooo excited that the 3yo slept in past 7 😂

If you’re at home today, not spending money, and feeling bored, you might be wondering, “What could I do?” Well, task one: you can make random reports on this website: enddei.ed.gov

We’ve got a friend in Wisconsin who said she wasn’t worried about potential cuts to Medicaid because she and her 3 kids don’t need it - they’re on BadgerCare. She was stunned when I told her they were all on Medicaid.

Protecting people from shame by renaming MA has definite downsides.

Ok this wide-awake-ness I’m pretty sure is needing alone time. Spouse, toddler, dog, cat are all asleep. I’m watching bad TV & it’s so good.

First time this winter my eyelashes have frozen together!

Oooh plans for the old KMart site!

I set my main feed to not show reposts so I only see original content. There aren’t a ton of these posts but they are the ones I want to see!

The world seems to be falling apart. But depending on your perspective, that’s always been happening.

Remember the beautiful, the kind and the fierce. We are and we can.

Filling out short-term disability paperwork for parenting leave. What do I put for “date of accident”?!

Saaame

Sounds like not but oooooh website! I wanna know more!

I just read an ad for a sleeping bag that’s free because “it has a leak” and now I feel like I don’t know how sleeping bags work.

What local newsletters should I follow to keep up on events as I spend less time on Meta?

This leaves me with so many more questions.

What’s the deeper anti-capitalist etc responsibility in this identifying of “weird”/toxic Western culture?

How much of the “Western” mentioned is actually “white”? Catholic Church theory (interesting but not surprising!) suggests whiteness. Class is also noted a few times - more money, more isolation.

Just started #huntparentgather. I’m engaged and have so many follow-up questions.

This looks cool... "We are excited to offer a professional opportunity for people with disabilities ... to update Minnesota’s Olmstead Plan ... [that] aims to ensure that people with disabilities can live, learn, work, and enjoy life in the community, in settings that include everyone."

My 8mo pregnant self & 3yo tried to get to the on-ice kite festival & #artshanty project but there was a meltdown after 15 minutes waiting for the shuttle. And I’m ok with being a family that doesn’t go on outside adventures on 9 degree windchill days.

so this “wicked” witch allowed the munchkins to have both a Lullaby League *and* a Lollipop Guild? but sure yeah they were “oppressed”

Oooh I need to look into this.
