Would love to hear what ppl think
istg the bluey theme song sounds like the office theme song to me.
In case you were wondering what it is like to have children.
Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
Over 120 people have been hospitalized due to measles in Utah alone. "It is, at this time a real threat in our state and something we can do to stop it," said Dr. Leisha Nolen, state epidemiologist… pleading for people to get themselves and their children vaccinated.” @jackiantonovich.bsky.social
If you ever want to have someone open mouth sneeze at your face at point blank range, might I suggest acquiring a toddler?
I've spent the past 24+ hrs mostly sitting in the dark due to migraine and like everything I do professionally requires a backlit screen.
I mean, is that what you want to choose to direct your willpower towards orrrrrr?
uncontroversial opinion time: thin mints are not worth eating unless they are taken straight from the freezer. bonus points on flavor if you abscond to a second location to avoid your kids.
A New Thing for me is that the teen steals my clothes. My adoptive mom was bigger than me+died when I was 14 so I never had the opportunity. On one hand annoying bc I bought that dress for me, damnit. On the other grateful we have the option & that a teen likes my sartorial choices enuf to thieve 🥚
My MIL, who has been my MIL for 17 years, just texted me to ask what my email address (unchanged since 2004) is.
It’s only getting worse
As a resident of Texas surely you understand that chicken is a vegetable?
Hahahaha. The last time I witnessed a power hour I don't know what happened and neither does anyone who participated.
Okay but like they didn't specify size. I could drink 24 thimblefuls of different beers and I could eat 24 gummy tacos. The running might kill me.
No one is rougher than a toddler whispering to herself "I GENTLE" like it's a self-help mantra.
It's the 10 year anniversary of Stardew Valley today and that's wild.
They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.
I meeeeaaan at some point why bother having kids if you don't plan on being in any of their core memories? 😬😬😬😬😬
Toddler (after eating a piece of toast like the Cookie Monster): oh no crumbs! come vacuum up the crumbs but not me I'm not crumbs.
Husband ::vacuums crumbs but not toddler since she is not crumbs::
Toddler: more toast!
Meta (probably): best we can do is ::looks over playing cards drawn from several different decks:: chaotic neutral.
At Michigan Tech some of the older buildings would only have a women's bathroom on every other floor.
Heads up, folks. You have calls to make!
Julia, the teen, and I are all on the same team. 😤 the teen's response was, "what the fuck? Ew, no"
I asked the teen if she considered herself "wasian" and the disgust with which responded was palpable.
Why does this sound like the start of an enemies-to-lovers romance novel?
The thing about being 40 and having both a toddler and a teenager is that in a group setting, we are often the ones with both the oldest and youngest child.
