It should be illegal for your body to wake you up to pee multiple times in the night when you haven't even had anything to drink since the last time.

My daughter suddenly piped up tonight after playing with her stuffies: "we need a stuffie God? Who is the stuffie God?"
I tried to tell her that, in fact, she was the stuffie God but she was not receptive to this news.
My partner is on Mastodon but is also in tech, I think that's like the whole demographic that's there.
Imo, the very best promotional tie-ins for kids' media are the ones that make healthy foods and necessary everyday tasks more fun. I will buy all the Paw Patrol hairbrushes and Bluey toothbrushes and Stitch Go Go Squeezes with added veggies, sign me up!
Iirc my supervisor's husband did help her set up a database during the research stage of her first book, but that's both unusual and I think less labour than is often elided in these dedications to wives.
The one two punch of time change plus disrupted routine due to missing parent is definitely not doing me any favours.
Third day in a row that EG hasn't fallen asleep until 10:30 (and I'm also solo parenting because my partner is at a weeklong conference), I'm about to descend to hell and chase down the inventor of Daylight Savings Time so I can have a word.
You have built something so beautiful! I am proud to continue to support Rise, and I also hope you know that, whatever happens, the legacy of Rise continues to bless so many people. I am beyond grateful for the friendships it has brought into my life.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.”

They're fun but don't believe the patterns re: hoop size. You will need a 9 inch hoop, not 8 inch
I've started making the patterns in 10 inch hoops and moving them to 9 inch hoops afterwards.
These are the previous two I've made for her. There are 9 total in the series so I can keep this going for years yet if we're both amenable

Cross stitch on black fabric in a round hoop, showing an aquatic dinosaur skeleton surrounded by a light brown shell, and red, green, purple, and yellow aquatic plants and corals
Finished another cross stitch this week, a mosasaur skeleton as a birthday present for my sister-in-law (for whom I've also previously made stegosaurus and velociraptor skeleton from the same series)

"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning.
The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.
ICE is still here in Columbia Heights. People are still unable to work, feed their families, pay their rent. If you have a couple bucks to spare, please do. If not, just go please meet at least one neighbor. You will want to be ready if this ever comes to your community and that is the first step.
My first driver's ed instructor was fired for throwing a chair at the examiner after another student failed their road test.
He was also super into conspiracy theories and would spout them off to you while you tried to focus on the road. Very into the one about birth control turning frogs gay.

Sorry, I know that's vague and dramatic and I would absolutely vomit out the whole story immediately if it were only mine to share, but I am struggling hard and could use prayers or good thoughts if you've got them. I am not a danger to anyone due to said crippling fear of disappointing anyone ever.
TW: suicidal ideation
So, I'm a month and a half into what I hope to God will be the worst year of my entire life, because there's no chance of it not being awful, and while I wouldn't generally recommend a crippling fear of disappointing anyone ever it does at least keep you alive, in a pinch.
I love my daughter with all my heart, and all it does is tell me that every child deserves to be have all the things I want for my daughter. I will never be satisfied with a solution that makes my daughter's life better at the expense of making others' lives worse.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

So what do we figure are the odds that Eugene Meltsner from Adventures in Odyssey was a trans woman whose egg hadn't cracked yet?
Kids are so weird, man. Mine just requested and devoured a green bean and mayonnaise sandwich as a bedtime snack.

One month into 2026 and I can already tell it's going to be the kind of year where my stock response to "how are you doing?" might need to be "how long do you have?"
Like, so fucked up that I probably need to sit down with a professional at some point to unpack why the hell this worked on me. When I was 8!!!!!
I was well into adulthood before I realized that the story of how I stopped biting my nails was not, in fact, a cute childhood anecdote but rather a deeply fucked up origin story.
I stopped cold turkey at the age of 8 after a family friend told me I should stop if I wanted to be a jewel in my husband's crown someday, which is another method I would also not recommend.
