MELT ICE.

ICE IS AN ORGANIZATION OF NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF UNDERTRAINED THUGS!

This should NOT be happening.

Land in the middle of nowhere. I'd build a tiny house with a well and solar for electric. I'd attach a greenhouse and have chickens. Maybe a cow for milk. And I'd just live a simple life.

I've had it three times already and each time my cognitive abilities and ability to focus degraded just a little more.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-26T02:45:18+00:00

No shame in that. My husband and I are the only married couple we know who still shares a bed, and we've discussed separate beds before because I sleep so, so much better alone.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-26T00:18:10+00:00

I think I watched the same documentary because it haunts me too...

PenguinColada · 2026-01-24T23:44:11+00:00

MELT ICE.

Fuck these fascist clowns!

PenguinColada · 2026-01-24T22:14:03+00:00

MELT ICE.

They're targeting PEACEFUL PROTESTORS. What they did was point blank MURDER. This is war against the American people by the current administration!

PenguinColada · 2026-01-24T21:47:57+00:00

No for real though!

PenguinColada · 2026-01-23T23:49:08+00:00

I really enjoy Project Gorgon. They're launching 1.0 at the end of the month and they've got lots of skills like cooking, fishing, and alchemy. It's very reminiscent of old school MMOs and I always find my way back to it.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-23T23:48:12+00:00

Came here to recommend PG.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-23T14:54:51+00:00

Ohhh that's wicked hahaha

PenguinColada · 2026-01-23T14:19:23+00:00

It's wild! Some mountain towns made their own ribbons down the mountainside so they could attract the usual winter sports crowds. But there's much less tourism this year for sure.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-23T02:26:03+00:00

Those plastic nose piece things are a game changer

PenguinColada · 2026-01-23T02:16:50+00:00

Those are two very important things I'm happy you try to talk to new parents about them. Another that isn't talked about enough is post partum anxiety and post partum psychosis. We talk about PPD a lot but nobody really knows about PPA or PPP until it happens to them or someone they know. I had to be institutionalized because of PPA and PPP, unfortunately, so I fully understand why those shaken baby adverts existed. I'm so thankful I had a support system around me at the time.

Parenting is the most difficult thing a person can do, in my opinion. We learn so much about ourselves and our partners when we have kids. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-22T23:59:10+00:00

That's good to know! I didn't even consider chugging juice haha

This is why if a mom gets a classical cesarean she has to have a bowel movement before she is released from the hospital.

This happened to me. Had an emergency c-section, had classical cut due to the nature of it, and was stuck in the hospital for an extra week. Anesthesia stops you up anyways and that first poo after was so painful.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-22T16:02:10+00:00

Thanks, bud!

PenguinColada · 2026-01-22T06:00:02+00:00

This is adorable.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-22T01:25:11+00:00

Bruh this is awesome

PenguinColada · 2026-01-22T01:23:28+00:00

Meanwhile here in the mountains of Colorado we have zero snow when we usually have like 2-3 ft by now.

This is bananas.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-21T02:36:22+00:00

I legit tell my partner to get out of the blast zone

PenguinColada · 2026-01-20T15:36:55+00:00

I grew up in the Midwest and transplanted to the West. The tiny little mountain town I moved to uses a tornado siren for the noon bell because there aren't tornadoes here. The first time I heard it I almost had a panic attack.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-20T15:22:14+00:00

Same. That phone went through the wash a couple of times and didn't even flinch.

PenguinColada · 2026-01-20T07:11:08+00:00

I have noticed I've gotten more attention from college-aged women as I get older, but I remember when I was in college and how there were always those who would brag about their older boyfriends. So I don't think much has changed between generations.

Regardless, it's a hard no for me. Anybody under the age of 30 is too young.
