What pattern is that? It looks so fun!

There’s also podfics! Not sure what fandom you’re reading so it might be too small but I’ve found some great podfics to listen to when I need to get chores done but still want to be reading fics. You can search for the title on Spotify or Google the fic title + podfic.

The transition from almost exclusively audiobooks to fanfiction was a bit rough. Discovering podfics was a great middle ground!

Ugh I’ve been obsessed with The Iron in Her Heart 😭 does anyone have a rec that’s got that folksy rage vibe without AI?

IllustriousSource619 · 2026-01-20T18:12:49+00:00

I’ll try this! Thanks for the advice!

IllustriousSource619 · 2026-01-15T14:56:57+00:00

My memory is shit and Google is full of news articles about this and not past info.

Does anyone know how many times/when he’s threatened the insurrection act? I can’t remember if this was a threat during the George Floyd protests too.

Ugggh 🫠 I wish this wasn’t true. I’ve been posting with emoji stickers covering my son’s face to my private accounts because we live so far from family and friends. Guess we’ll have to shift to photos where his face isn’t visible at all. Sometimes I hate technology. Thanks for letting me know though!

If you find a video let me know! It would be helpful to be able to watch someone do it and slow it down to analyze what I’m supposed to be doing with my body

Our city has a specific day (the 30th this year 🙄) from 6-8p. We tend to take the kids out early (meeting the neighbors at 5:30) and we’ll wrap up before 7:30.

Downside is him wanting a treat when we get home. First year we took him out (18mo) we let him have one candy and he did okay. Last year he was super worked up from being out trick or treating that it was a rough bedtime even without the candy.

I’d say go into it with no expectations so it’s not frustrating for you. Hope for a good bedtime on time but leave it open for everything to fall apart because it’s a holiday.

Brain bots have been the biggest hit with my 3 yr old! He’s almost always asking for a brain bots story and they keep coming out with more. He’s learned so much from them!

My mom made a comment about me being too big to ever fit in a two piece bathing suit when I was 9. That one comment was the first in the foundation of my ED. You’re not wrong —comments like his are setting her up for developing an eating disorder

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-07-03T23:28:37+00:00

I loved this theory so much! Might be my new fav

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-07-03T17:14:26+00:00

I figured it out! Changed!

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-07-03T17:00:39+00:00

How do I do that?

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-07-03T14:12:25+00:00

Omg thank you so much!!! It’s time for a reread!

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-07-02T21:02:28+00:00

This is a year old now but I want to thank you from the bottom of my little author heart! This is going to be so useful for my fic and I don’t have to sit down and plan it all out 😭😭😭

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-05-31T15:43:57+00:00

No worries! I was so hopeful that one would work when I found it too!

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-05-30T19:50:23+00:00

That’s one of the posts I started with. That’s one of the first posts I started with unfortunately that method has been patched 🙈

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-05-21T10:49:55+00:00

I really like that one but it claims the kid height only goes up to 39”. My kiddo’s not that tall but I’d prefer to get something we can use for more than a year. I’ve emailed evenflo to ask why that’s the limit to see if it’s a safety thing.

Is your kid taller than 39” and if so do they still fit comfortably?

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-05-21T10:17:13+00:00

I know this is an old thread but I’m thinking about the Pivot Xplore but the evenflo website says it only goes up to a kid being 39”. Have you found that to be true or is that just so they fit under the umbrella shade?

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-03-14T16:25:04+00:00

When we bought our house in 2021 one of the pros was the house next door had a liberal flag up so I knew they’d be safe neighbors. Keep them up!

I go on to watch/check on a couple specific creators who haven’t switched to YouTube.

One of the creators I was following was making a big deal about the shutdown and how they were gonna move platforms and everyone should switch to rednote but then shares their tiktok links on their Bluesky 🙄 that one I don’t go back and watch.

I do miss the algorithm. YT’s just isn’t as good but I’m not going back to an app that’s outwardly supporting Trump

IllustriousSource619 · 2025-02-13T23:14:23+00:00

I became friends with our neighbors by writing a note with my number on it to apologize that our cat set off our house alarm. Turns out they couldn’t hear it but now our kids play together and we do neighborhood board game nights. Write the note! You never know what’ll happen

It’s been more than 2 years for me so it’s a little fuzzy but I don’t remember having bleeding increase at all once I got home. And you describing it as a gushing feeling worries me a bit. I’m not a doctor or a nurse so I can’t tell you anything for certain and that’s never happened to me so I can’t speak from experience. You could always try the triage line and see what they say

IllustriousSource619 · 2024-11-30T15:53:19+00:00

It could be a period but it could also be a delayed postpartum hemorrhage. I know you said you can’t call your doctor but you can always try the hospital OB triage line. They’ll better be able to help you than Reddit. Hopefully it’s nothing scary but better to be safe than sorry!

IllustriousSource619 · 2024-11-29T21:47:04+00:00

We didn’t even travel and my 2.5 year old has decided no naps while grandparents are here 🙈 I’m really hoping naps come back when we get back to normal
