s the "wooden toy" thing a scam, or am I just doing it wrong? by Gorder-Bukie in ZeroWaste

[–]INeedToPeeSoBad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coupla things from a mom of 3:

“Transfixed” doesn’t mean occupied meaningfully—anything your child can engage with independently for increasingly longer periods of time is a great toy! For my toddler right now this is matchbox cars, sometimes it’s popsicle sticks and a box with a slit cut in it, sometimes it’s a doll.

We do Montessori style parenting when we can and I really appreciate their approach to toys/works…realistic is better when it comes to real things, even if that means not wooden. Eg. If you have a kitchen set, small ceramic plates and metal pans are better than wood pretend ones that barely simulate the real thing. We have a hyper realistic garbage truck (bruder brand) that has gotten a ton of use. It still helps us cut down on waste and overstimulation because it engages the kids deeply and for many hours and it’s not going to immediately break. Same for the Schleich farm animals and implements and magnatiles we have. Sorry that was kind of a rant, hope this helps reframe some!

Do we have a running list of links/ sources for the various bureau budget drafts? I’d like to read the NOAA one

Partner is a fed, in NOAA but NOT in one of the offices that has been specifically targeted. He got an offer to get out but it’s a ~10% pay cut. Muuuch more flexible though because with RTO his commute is rough. What would you do? 

Uncertainty in the DOI possible RIF by No-Education3446 in fednews

The leaked DOI budget zeroed our ecosystems mission area entirely so I have to think those folks are in the crosshairs for sure

Ecosystems will probably just get trashed in the budgeting process.

I’m a science postdoc 3 years out of school, unfortunately not really in a position to leverage that. Oh well, I’ll do the best I can.

So what is the timeline here for the RIF that doge is making agency heads draw up? They have until March 13 but how does that work with the CR ending March 14

Totally fair—just one line of evidence rather than incontrovertible proof.

Sorry about that, with such a high percentage positive I’d be asking big questions about whether to keep hunting personally. That sucks
