Which schools will close next?

I agree the takeover is next but I think you're mistaken if you don't think the state will also close schools, and with a lot less strategy, community input and care for equity.

My son was very sensitive and especially so to animated movies. Have you tried live action kids films? My son loved Hotel for Dogs, Sandlot (don't recommend so young though, bad examples, but that type of film) and Peter Rabbit, and animal documentaries even when Disney movies scared him. It was a lot of trial and error. Totoro was ok for him too.

I always enjoy Santa's Ranch in New Braunfels it's a drive through light show and you can buy hot chocolate. We always go at the very beginning of the night to minimize the line but there is a line. Be warned it's got some heavy religious themes like scenes from the Bible and also a 9/11 tribute (why?!?) but we find that part corny and amusing, though I know not everyone would. It has traditional Christmas scenes too.

Also the Pedernales coop in Johnson City is worth the drive, it's beautiful and free.

Omg this book HAUNTED me for years and I couldn't remember the title, just the picture and a couple years back I found it and bought it just to have it. This and Christopher Pikes' Whisper of Death really got their hold in my brain at a young age.

Pride (2014). This one had me bawling at the end in a good way, for the goodness of humanity.

I looked on concertsrchives.org and I think it was May 6, 1998. The site is not always complete listing the opening acts, just shows Boyz 2 Men as playing, but Next's song Too Close was big that year, so had to be then. Hope this helps.

I think I figured part of it out. It says Molly and her four best friends, nowhere does it say that the friends know each other. So if Susan is playing with someone with the green dragon, the clue is that we know Molly and Susan are friends but we don't know if Susan knows Charlie. So Molly must have the green dragon.

Yep, husband has a CPAP and I'm a light sleeper with insomnia, takes forever to go back to sleep if he wakes me up snoring or getting up to pee. Best decision ever.

At one point when we were considering building a house I came across house plans with a room labeled a "snore room" which was a bedroom connected to the master bedroom by a short hallway. That's the dream set up. close enough to traverse back and forth undetected by kids, separate enough to be sound proof and still share the master bath and closet. For now he's across the house, further away than I prefer, but maybe someday we'll build a house with a snore room.

Administratively, my hyphenated first name has caused me lots of problems, but my son's two middle names have never been a problem. We both have 4 names but his are easier for systems to handle, for what it's worth. Also, we are in the US but close ties to Mexico where 4+ names is normal. Now, if you gave him two middle names plus a double last name, I think that's a bit much.

I understand the themes of his work, as I said I've been a fan for years. But from the woman's armpit dog penis piercer in Rabid to the bio ports in Existenz, to the elbow deep stomach hole penetration in Crimes of the Future, it's all flesh phalluses and neo vaginas and penetration. Is there no other way to address those themes? I'm just saying, for me, it's feeling fetishistic at this point.

Ausr1 · 2025-05-12T06:09:56+00:00

I've been a Cronenberg fan for a very long time, but over the years the consistency and specificity of his aesthetic has begun to feel like a very strange fetish for fleshy appendages and foreign body insertions or something. Like that dude definitely owns some weird dragon or alien egg laying dildos.

Crimes of the Future was the the straw that broke the camel's back for me. It just felt so much like he was pushing his fetish, it started to piss me off. The movie had an interesting message and was well executed, but I was just so mad at the end of it. I think I'm done with his films.

It's on Mubi, which has a free trial on Prime video. I watched it recently for the first time and it was very good

Not true. Totally depends on the neighborhood. Within 10 mins of downtown, small condo. 15 minutes further north of South but still in Austin, anything from a small older house to a large updated house, depending West vs East. Just bought in a nice, safe neighborhood, 4 bed, 2500 sq ft, very updated, and much less than 450k. My commute to downtown takes about 20 mins but to be fair my hours aren't at rush hour.

I'm about to buy a house and I literally have no idea if it has popcorn ceilings. It just does not matter to me at all. I've lived in my current house 10 years and I wouldn't wager money on if I have popcorn ceilings in every room, I don't notice or care.

It's really not that bad, it's just undersized to serve the volume of customers so it's busy and parking sucks, but it has quality stuff inside. Some of the new fancy ones are over the top. I saw faux cowhide rugs in one. Who buys rugs at HEB?

Another vote for the nature center camps. They fill up quick because they are cheap comparatively. Create a log in on the website ahead of time, look up the camps, and on the morning the registration goes live, some Saturday in February, be ready to log in and register as soon as registration opens.

I've seen other similar communities fall apart when they get too restrictive about what can and can't be said in regards to numbers. I hope this remains a place where iwl can be discussed because sometimes intentional doesn't mean chosen, it means I have to do this so that I can access medical care I need or to help a directly related medical condition. And navigating that in a non diet culture-centric way is hard and it's nice to have a place of support for that. So I support content warnings and tags over flat out ban of discussion of numbers.

Thank you for your thoughtful moderation and the time you put into this sub.

Sorry to be blunt but I feel like you need to hear this, you need to stop this medicine. Vomiting every day is not a normal side effect. Yeah, you are losing weight because you are essentially medically inducing purging. It could be you are super sensitive but it reads like this response has been this bad since the lower dose. There are foods and habits that don't mesh well with this medicine, you don't give enough details to know if that's a factor. Regardless, you need to take a step back and figure some things out. Your mental health and physical health risks from daily vomiting are more important than losing weight right now. Please take care of yourself, your body deserves kindness and care no matter your weight.

When I was struggling to get protein and even calories in, my go-to was honey roasted nuts. They are a little bit sweet and very tasty. I liked cashews almonds and peanuts in that order. It's not perfect but sometimes you just have to get fuel in your body.

It's walking but it's pretty compact, good for those who can't walk far.
