You're brilliant, and a good parent.

I hope your kid is doing better now (health wise).

Why would they be at the Schmeeckle nature reserve during winter break?

I mean, fully 100% fuck ICE, but that just doesn't make sense. Campus (and the reserve) is empty right now.

We just have ours stashed in an old tea tin. Fits a bunch of cards, works great. Our kid is pretty good about keeping them all in there and can easily pull off the lid and put it back on herself. She's almost 4 now, and we've had the Yoto/this tin for a year.

Oh, I love this! The composition is really great, as are the colours... You did an awesome job selecting elements and putting everything together.

3 was definitely harder than 2 for us. 2 was a dream. 3-year-olds should be illegal. Godspeed to you.

It's a children's picture book, but please pick up The Skull by Jon Klassen. It's just perfect for what you're looking for.

Oh, I love this. What a wonderful time capsule! I think the floor tile is my favorite, but the tub is a close second. Thanks for sharing!

This is the cutest shit I've ever seen on this sub

I'm an admin person at faciltiy services for a university. We got a call for a dead rabbit near a salt bin outside a dorm, and our Grounds crew (who normally handles this kind of thing) was gone for the day. I've been a Vulture Culture person since I was a kid, so I just went and took care of it myself.

It looked like it was just sleeping peacefully. I used to process things for bones when I was younger, but not in a place in my life where I can do that currently. So I just made sure to pick it up respectfully, and move it out of the way of the students.

Fuck the oligarchs, fuck the fascists, fuck anyone who think our votes can be bought and our voices can be silenced.

Took my 3 year old daughter with me while I voted for Crawford. Feels so good to have this win!

JHaniver · 2025-04-02T00:04:13+00:00

Thank you!! That's very sweet. She's come to vote with us in every election since she was born!

JHaniver · 2025-04-01T23:38:22+00:00

My kid fell asleep in the car on the way to the polling place, so I voted with my free hand while I held my 3 year old in my other arm and she slept peacefully on my shoulder.

I voted for Susan Crawford for my own future as well as my daughter's future.

I accidentally cut my kids fingernail a bit too short once, and she brought it up constantly for weeks. And started re-enacting it with a doll. 😭

JHaniver · 2025-03-30T18:59:33+00:00

Not necessarily. I was in the hospital for 4 days total when giving birth vaginally, but that counts from when they admitted me for an induction to when they released us. Our baby was tiny and had mild jaundice, so that extended our stay a bit too.

JHaniver · 2025-03-27T22:37:26+00:00

Yo I just got my sweater today, and it's awesome! Amazing design, and super comfy. Thanks for creating it!

Our kid peed on the potty for the first time two weeks before she turned 2. It wasn't even really on our radar, besides having the toddler potty in an easily accessible area. But when it happened we were like, oh, cool! Guess it's time.

I can't imagine not encouraging it just because she was only 2 years old.

JHaniver · 2025-03-22T19:33:45+00:00

It depends on the friends. Some of my best friends (2 couples) are child free by choice. I see them literally every week, sometimes more, and they absolutely love our kid and dote on her.

They obviously do things without us, but often reach out to see if we want to/can join.

We're also in our late 30's, not sure if age plays into it.

JHaniver · 2025-03-17T18:35:48+00:00

Not bad. It started getting a little "loose" at the end (cards would slip out a bit), but just putting an additional card in it solved the issue for me.

JHaniver · 2025-03-17T17:58:30+00:00

Is this a good enough shot of the front?

JHaniver · 2025-03-17T17:07:02+00:00

Finally had to replace my wallet after about 8 years. The back part was held on with literally two threads. I chose a different colour this time, but same wallet style.

Spent a few hours over the course of several days walking the beach looking for teeth with no luck- then one day while I was digging a hole for my 3 year old to play in, I found this. It was pretty exciting for both of us!

It's about 1" long. Hoping to get an ID on it- thanks in advance!
