Only question I have is is there exceptions? I know a few kids with some medical conditions like diabetes that have monitors that synch to their phone to control medication or send alerts… Wonder how they are going to address those situations. Otherwise, I could see the benefits on a smart phone ban during school hours. I just wonder how they are going to administer that.

Yeah and the elitism. Like I am knitting for a friend’s baby no freaking way am I going to make it with a silk merino blend when I know my friend can only machine wash and tumble dry clothes… And that was before they had a tiny human. Some of the local groups were up in arms that I used ACRYLICS quell horror but dude I make kids toys and they literally drag my toys through a mud bath and three years later it’s still in one piece and loved. I do have the budget now for the nicer stuff but when I started out, not so much. And you know what a silk is nice but sometimes… I want a shitty fluffy machine washable plush yarn. Fiber people gotta chill and remember at the end of the day we are playing with sticks and string. Be nice.

We have hybrid and it actually really works. We hire countrywide and if you don’t live near an office you are fully remote. But if you do live near an office you can go in anytime. I don’t like going to the office, but if I need to print or ship, or need to meet a client or coworker it’s nice to have the option. Also anytime I have an issue, I can pop in the office to check out new hardware, or work if my home is unsuitable due to whatever ( power outage, noisy maintenance, over 90 degrees since we don’t have AC, sick kid). However, I think hybrid only works if there is no minimum requirement on time in office. If it is at the teams discretion the home office becomes an amenity. We also downsized from something like 200 cubes to around sixty, so that helps too.

I saw a woman being grabbed and angry whispered at the fair. She looked scared and was much smaller than the guy. She had three kids and it was just awful to watch.

But it was in a crowd, and no one was reacting. We locked eyes and to my shame I didn’t do anything. Not an excuse, but I am a smaller woman, I had my kid with me and my husband who is larger was in another area of the fair. I felt scared if that man was comfortable doing that to her, openly , in public and in front of the kids, would be hit me if I tried to intervene? And how to intervene? Would I make it worse for her. I couldn’t figure out what to do, so I did nothing. By the time my husband got back, I had lost sight of them.

I still remember the two youngest kids, around my daughter’s age, being unphased, but the older kid looking scared and embarrassed. The woman looking resigned and sad. It really bothers me and I always thought I would stand up on that situation.

Avocados, bread and cheese. Also they will do anything for chicken nuggets.

Unfortunately, I also own a tiny human as well, whose preferred diet also consists of the same things and has a short attention span. The cats adore tiny human as she is a source of unguarded treats.

The struggle is real.

God help me as tiny human just found out about avocado toast with shredded Parmesan… The cats are thrilled.

This movie has caused my husband’s ability to pick the comedies to be in question, not only in our relationship but among three other couples. If he says “it’s a great black comedy” he now has to describe how it is not like this movie. In his words, he knew he fucked up when he was the only one laughing and it looked over to see the dudes looking nonplussed and is girls looking at him in disapproval and shock.
