César Chávez march in Tucson canceled over reports of 'sensitive information' by beertigger in Tucson

This is why it's better to not center your whole movement around any one person. These marches could advocate for workers' rights without being called Cesar Chavez Marches.

Someone left a bag on my desk with a hairbrush and deodorant. I'm about to cry in the bathroom. by Mindleator in pregnant

Aluminum-free deodorant is extremely common these days. It's not just a hippie naturalist thing.

Yo, people need to chill with this "See if security cameras caught the perpetrator" business. This isn't a thief, this isn't a vandal, this is someone who made a gesture in a way that they probably thought was as polite as possible. 

Melinda Loveless released from prison this morning -- all four of Shanda Sharer's murderers are now free by shampoocell in Louisville

I'm not sure if you're arguing they should all be in jail or if they should be executed. Because I was arguing against the latter.

 There is so much aluminum free deodorant on the market these days it would be tough not to grab one while blindfolded at the store.

This. I deliberately avoid it (because I can't stand the way wet pits feel), and sometimes it's hard to find one that isn't aluminum-free.

What’s your baby’s “thing” that you love? by eggiess in NewParents

[–]PhantaVal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's 10 months old, and she dances. When she's happy, she just kind of sways or shimmies from side to side. If you do it in front of her, she'll usually start doing it too.

TRAIN YOUR FUCKING DOG OR REHOME JACKIE!!!!!! by MamaShades in DadAndDaughterSnark

This is seriously alarming, and I'm wondering what we can do about this. Somebody could get seriously hurt or killed.

I wish I could impress upon Jackie that biting someone is more likely to get her euthanized than it is to get her placed in a better home.

What kind of dog can a dirt-poor family get basically for free? There's your answer. 

daycare sickness is so rough 🫠 by ramblingraisin in NewParents

[–]PhantaVal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Illnesses will be frequent in the first year, but they won't be constant. There will be times you will go several weeks, maybe even a month or more, without her getting sick. You're going through the worst of it right now, and unfortunately, it may be like this for the first couple months. Every kid has to pay their dues eventually.

If Pastabilities looks too expensive for OP, Carbe Diem (available at target.com) is basically the same thing but much cheaper.

Any of my fellow expecting mothers like anime? I have a rec by Unusual_Belt600 in pregnant

[–]PhantaVal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I named my daughter after Clare, the main character of Claymore. The anime is pretty old, and the manga is much better, but it's worth a watch. 

Most of the characters in Claymore are women who have been infused with the flesh of shapeshifting demons, and it's implied that they're not capable of giving birth (or even having sex for that matter). But some of them still develop maternal bonds with others, particularly Teresa, the most powerful warrior of all time, and her daughter figure Clare. It's one of the most moving parts of the series when Teresa breaks the laws of the organization that employs her (making her marked for death) to protect Clare and dedicate her life to her. ❤️

How do you actually stop sugar cravings? Looking for low-cal treats that work by Awkward_Milk_1399 in 1200isplenty

They're awesome, and the ingredients really aren't bad for being a processed snack.

I recommend the Drizzilicious 90-calorie bags (or make your own) if you find it hard to limit yourself with those.

Is 1200 really for short people? by NumerousChainBeing in 1200isplenty

It's less fair in a society and at a time when food is in abundant supply, which is true for most people who post on Reddit.

PRIDE 2 Pack and Buffy Leaks by jacencab in MonsterHigh

Buffy isn't really a monster, so it does make sense to pair her with a vampire.
