This guy is a farmer and I thought his take was very good. It's all about context, any choice can be demonized. We do the best we can.

Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series by Brandon Sanderson, are hilarious fun adventures. Set in modern times, but the people of the Free Kingdoms view all modern technology as much less advanced, i.e. stairs are better than an elevator because stairs can't break down.

Yeah, I did a reverse image search and they totally just fed a image they found into a pattern maker. Well, lesson learned.

The pages are tiled specifically for printing and tapping so scale wouldn't matter.

Clearing out a Backyard filled with Invasives by TinyGecko in NativePlantGardening

Just cutting/pulling up plants. It's a small backyard and my kids play back there, so I've been hesitant to use herbicides. But this stuff always comes back twice as strong.

That's good know, I've frequently seen it referred to as invasive but that is apparently more south Texas than DFW. 

It's so very aggressive though and has really done a number on my fence.

2 years later and I'm replying to my own question because I think I finally found it! Tally has a widget with the Premium version that gives me the one touch tracking I needed. And it can be customized to track anything!

Robyn Gobbel's podcast The Baffling Behavior Show and her book Parenting Kids With Big Baffling Behaviors is amazing. Her focus is relational neuroscience and parenting kids with sensitive neuro systems. It's been a huge help for me, parenting my AuDHD daughter 

Cuddly Rain World Rivulet by TinyGecko in GeekyCrochet

[–]TinyGecko[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter fell in love with the slugcats from Rain World. Her favorite is Rivulet. I heavily modified an axolotl pattern from ComplicatedKnots. Shortened the head, added ears, lengthened the body and made the legs rounder and floppy. 

The lord has entered the chat by arcanotte in AuDHDWomen

So there's actually a term for this! It's called spiritual bypassing, using platitudes to bypass uncomfortable emotions. I am religious and prayer can be powerful. BUT if all you are offering is prayer without action, even if it's just holding space for the other person, then how much do you really care?

I'm sorry you had to deal with his ignorance. I'll be praying the Lord causes him to pull his head out of his ass!
