How I Know Sprout Is Fake Crying:

1. DESPERATE WAILING. ULTIMATE MISERY.
2. [completely deadpan] "You forgot the button."
3. BACK TO TOTAL DESPAIR.

I just looked it up. Oh lordt. 🤪

Sprout made a walrus at daycare today.

Problem: came home ADAMANT it was a moose.

And thus, the household learned that the French word for walrus is "morse" 🤪

don’t ever lose sight of what’s important in life (the two fictional characters in your mind that keep you going)

If you're scared of protesting or a general strike because you could lose your job, healthcare, and housing, or even go to jail, now you understand why the US has no universal healthcare or housing and no guaranteed parental leave, but DOES have the largest prison and police system on planet Earth.

If anyone is looking for a Game Designer with nearly 30 years of experience in Level Design and nearly half that time as a Lead ... hit me up.

Bean just bought 2 Pokéballs specifically to turn around and sell them "because you get a lot of money"

nvm I hate this ride I want out

Accidentally woke up too damn early sooooo GYM TIME LET'S GO WOOOOOOO

nobody involved in this shit should ever be forgiven

There's no sound quite like a 4yo passionately belting Golden 🥹🤣❤️

Sadly, it's not black folks you have to fuckin convince. Black folks know he's a fucking snake. Please focus on your Liberal ass white folks, please.

Kthx.

If other people's children are fair targets in war, then so are yours.

Bean has donned the Team Rocket outfit, because they "need to disguise themselves to infiltrate Team Rocket's hideout."

I can't with this kid. I love it. 🤣

My child requested Pokemon themed food to celebrate the release of Pokemon Pokopia today.

Sprout has, at just 1 week shy of 4 years old, mastered the "What is this shit" look.

Completely deadass. Zero restraint.

I'm very proud.

We just got a full restock of the NOPE stickers! What a perfect time for them. (Why is it always a perfect time for them.)

Four little dinosaurs printed in a pink and purple and blue gradient.

the same dinos: a bronto, a pterodactyl, a stegosaurus, and a triceratops. This time in Northern Lights vibed colors!

now the dinosaurs are RAINBOW

these are the OG dinosaurs, printed in my desert sunset colors. also so old the picture is from before I got a light box!

We'll be closing the store for the final week of March so I can recover from surgery, which means selling as much as we can now.

Great time to buy something & force me to actually recover from surgery by not working!

(hey I ADDED ALL THE DINOSAURS!)

"Hey [Sprout], look! The land on the other side of that water is the United States!"
"Wow?! I don't even remember going to the Unlighted Skates???"

I... I don't know, guys. 🤣💀❤️

U-S-A 🇺🇸

True Love is allowing your 7yo to sell Rare Candies in order to purchase 50 pokeballs to catch everything - e v e r y t h i n g - in Viridian Forest.

Nice doesn’t make waves. Nice plays well with others.

Kind is ready to start some shit for someone’s benefit, and then will help pick up the pieces.

Kind has intention and a goal.

Sprout: Why does he have a red mark on his cheek?
Us: Because he got hurt.
Sprout: Oh, he got hurt? Where?
Us: ...on... on his cheek...
Sprout: On his cheek where?

😐😐😐

I'm specifically looking for remote work, open to full time, part time or contract, in anything related to narrative, accessibility and also social media or community management, which I also have extensive experience in with excellent references. Thank you so much for sharing & sending support.

If you’re able to help, these groups are doing good work here. Thank you.🇨🇦!2/2

Hey, Canada. A queer indigenous Albertan, here. Alberta is Canada’s punchline. I get it, believe me. The UCP has 100% earned it.

But my trans relatives here are having a tough time, particularly our youth. The UCP has enabled discrimination for those so inclined. That’s taking a toll. 1/2
