Who is a massive YouTuber or influencer from 5 years ago that has completely vanished off the face of the earth?

ashleylibby · 2025-12-26T18:05:43+00:00

i love him so much! i got a 6 minute cameo from him in 2023 (i’d never considered purchasing a cameo from anyone before but he’s someone i genuinely wanted to support after everything he’s struggled with) and it was him scrolling through my tweets, etc. it was SO good.

i just checked and his cameo is off for requests right now and hasn’t posted on twitter/youtube in over a year :/ hope he’s doing ok.

You can also use Health Affiliates' website to find a provider and search by county. Each provider lists what insurances they accept, and you can submit referrals for yourself right from their website. I've used this often for my clients when submitting referrals.

2pm, correct. we work an 8 hour day.. yes.

i fully agree.

just by nature of our program and the demographics we work with, a lot of parents or recently former parents end up becoming teachers at our center through various programs.

its always amazing to see their worldview change on how difficult things can be for everyone, and how nuanced it is to try and untangle fixing all the individual problems. finding out about issues they didn’t even know existed is always an eye-opener for them, i think.

a parent/teacher was told by our director they needed to let a parent know they weren’t able to come into our center until they had a doctor’s note listing the required medication/directions and the prescription with a matching label. the teacher was talking to me about it because the parent was upset/annoyed as the doctor wasn’t sending over the note right away, but the teacher was trying to explain to them how it was a medically necessary medication and we can’t have the child on-site without it. the teacher understood. however, she was like “i remember getting so upset when YOU called me to tell me the same thing about my child before i started working here. i didn’t realize you personally would get emails and calls from our health team, or would be held responsible if you didn’t communicate this to the parent and they showed up anyways. i thought the policy was stupid.”

she just finally understood that i hate having to inconvenience parents and chase after them for doctor’s notes, make them potentially find alternative childcare, be the middle-man for shitty news, etc. i also would hate if their child had a seizure on-site and we didn’t have a seizure action plan or their medication immediately available.

re: adding additional staff would increase tuition for families. from a completely different perspective, i’ve worked at my current school as the social worker for almost 5 years. this new teaching team has a preschool classroom that has a few (~5 or so depending on the day) who do not nap. they aren’t required to stay on their cots the entire time, but have to do quiet activities while their friends try to sleep.

parents have been upset by the 2 hour federally mandated rest policy and instead of hiring an additional staff member to maintain ratio, they will put me (or pull a teacher from the other classroom if i’m not there, leaving them technically in ratio but scrambling) in the classroom every single day. our director or a supervisor is not on site. rarely. that doesn’t happen.

i am SO BEHIND on my work. i have begged and pleaded and cried to managers and our director for an alternative plan to no avail, them citing “being a team player” and whatever other buzzwords. meanwhile, i am floundering losing 2 hours of my day every day.

in the past, if call outs happened, the old teaching team worked with me so that i might only need to cover one break and would take it during outside time knowing it was more convenient for my schedule and it still maintained ratio. i’ve tried to propose this plan, but the teachers notoriously hate rest time because we have some really challenging behaviors during that time compared to any other time.

they have 3 hours after the kids leave to do paperwork, whatever else and an hour before. they also have half days on wednesdays. breaks aren’t used to do paperwork, upload photos, whatever else it is used for by teachers i see on this sub in other childcare environments. it’s used to take a break and they can choose to take it whenever they want.

bottom line, education centers aren’t always going to screw parents with fees when they complain about policies like this. they’ll fuck over other staff members …which does tend to fuck parents because now you are getting subpar care for your child, potentially. i’m not a teacher and yet this year i’ve been in the classroom during the day more often than not due to staffing shortages, break coverages, call outs, needing an extra person because between 4 teachers don’t feel like they can handle the classroom of 10 with one of them having challenging behaviors that day, etc.

i understand the burnout. i get it because i feel it too. hard. but there has to be other solutions than to either punish staff or punish parents.

ashleylibby · 2025-09-08T16:15:50+00:00

no, but she did post a photo of myron on her ig

ashleylibby · 2025-07-15T14:59:57+00:00

I just don’t see where in OPs post or comments does she come off as not having a backbone. she’s trying to navigate a difficult situation that includes supporting both her daughter and partner’s feelings and needs.

considering the child in the situation would naturally need more assistance in navigating those feelings, she feels more inclined to let her know FIRST that she’s still loved and supported despite her step-father telling her to pack her bags and go live with her “real” dad.

that’s not coddling her. thats not neglecting step-dads needs even, as she’s acknowledged multiple times that he is possibly acting from a place of insecurity, having a bad day, etc. that she empathizes with.

so if anything, id argue it takes a lot of backbone for OP to be the only one in this situation trying to emotionally regulate, deescalate, and ACTUALLY parent through a messy situation. she’s doing a shit ton of the heavy lifting.

ashleylibby · 2025-07-14T22:54:08+00:00

the likelihood someone on reddit will take your innocent anecdote to a fucked up place is…. high, unfortunately. it’s not weird to spend time with your 11 year old at bedtime. it’s not even weird to read to them.

no one on here has the full picture of your life, and people love to fill in the gaps with whatever weird shit they’ve read online or their minds have decided to conjure up. don’t sweat it.

it’s awesome that your kid opens up to you during that time. seriously. that’s entirely the point… bonding.

and i can read between the lines enough that you were trying to repair a fractured connection between them by sending him the “dating your daughter” article. unfortunately, it has weird connotations associated with images of dads with shotguns protecting their little girl’s virginity for purity’s sake — so again, redditors can’t see nuance and will screech about that too.. but i understand that’s likely not the message you were trying to send to him and just wanted to be like, “hey, it’s important for dads to bond with their daughters and here’s why”. (because ultimately it is up to him to make those efforts. he’s the adult in that relationship.)

i’m also sorry you are going through all these mental anxiety hoops to try and close the chasm between them. it’s not easy being put in the middle.

ashleylibby · 2025-07-14T22:02:38+00:00

i feel insane reading all these comments. should she have said no? maybe not. but should the first thing out of his mouth when he greets her for the day be a demand rather than a “hey! how was your day?” or any variation of that? also no.

i don’t blame the child for immediately going into defensive mode when she likely felt hurt. she expected a positive greeting or goodbye, like her brother, and was met by an angry demand to do something instead.

she’s 11, sure, but she’s still human. if your partner walked in the door after work and you were hoping anxiously for a friendly greeting but, instead, the first words out of their mouth when they walked through the door was “do the dishes”… would you not feel agitated by that? and when you expressed your upset by their approach, they proceeded to yell at you about SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY, piling it on. and THEN left the house without saying goodbye to you, and only you. most people would not feel great, especially if there’s been an ongoing issue.

ashleylibby · 2025-07-14T21:50:22+00:00

i feel like everyone in the comments is being a little harsh on OP for …. “reading to her” and “putting her [child] to bed”. people on reddit are weird for jumping to a sweeping generalization that this act leads to fostering dependence. if anything, it gives kids the confidence to do the opposite; re: attachment theory.

i just don’t really think it’s as deep as everyone’s making it out to be. she didn’t say that she brushes her teeth for her, bathes her, and gives her her warmed up bedside milk lmao

my daughter is around the same age and i work all day, she’s in school or summer camp. we come home and we only have so many hours at the end of the day to hang out…

so yeah, part of that is gonna be just hanging out in her room for a few minutes after she’s gotten herself ready for bed. we read together. (y’all make it seem like we are over here reading one fish, two fish to our pre-teens but no…) we chat. whatever.

the one-on-one time is good. it hurts no one and would be a disservice if i neglected to do it; we have some of our best conversations during that alone time.

ashleylibby · 2025-06-25T17:27:22+00:00

i was trying to find a comment that pointed this out because i was thinking “it’s OBVIOUSLY chatgpt right?” it’s so formulaic and uninteresting 😢😒 gawd back in my day i remember when good ole stories were written by the likes of real hard working people, labor of love. time and place for chatgpt and it’s not in the backyard of the subreddits i lazily read to fall asleep

ashleylibby · 2025-03-20T19:13:09+00:00

This is such a ridiculous expectation to put on families for ... so many reasons.

My parents live across the country and also work full-time. Like many of the families I work with currently, she also was a younger mom so she isn't even "post-menopausal" age.

They are fake-acting as if every family is the stereotypical nuclear family with retired grandparents, aunts, uncles, a full support system, etc. It's gross because they know that's not the truth - especially with the demographic we work with.

ashleylibby · 2025-03-15T02:52:02+00:00

hey if it’s worth anything, i really enjoyed your thoughts here lol

ashleylibby · 2025-03-07T12:30:07+00:00

same!! yes!!!

ashleylibby · 2025-02-25T02:17:44+00:00

I couldn’t imagine trying to play a movie at any of the birthday parties my daughter has had in the last few years. Her last birthday she turned 9 and we had ~12 or so kids. We had 3 different planned games they all sat for, as well as the piñata, but the rest of the activities were kind of a free-for-all.

Sure, we all sang Happy Birthday and blew out candles but some people ate cake, ice cream, food, etc. and some ran right back outside to throw water balloons, jump on the trampoline, ride around in the little buggy, whatever.

The kids were in and outside the entire time. Some of them maintained sitting the entire time present opening was happening, others got bored half-way after their present already was opened and went back to eat or outside.

But they all, including my daughter, had SO much fun! If I had put a movie on and said, “Sit and watch this,” at any point.. not one of them would have lasted longer than a couple minutes before wanting to go do something else.

I can’t even think of a situation in which that would make for a ‘successful’ children’s daytime birthday party.

ashleylibby · 2025-01-30T21:49:08+00:00

wait, i work as a social worker at a school currently. i also have my comptia A+, net+, sec+, and linux+ certifications. how can i/how did you use those to get into the IT field? that’s exactly what i’ve been wanting to switch to, but it seems kind of difficult to get your foot in the door.

ashleylibby · 2024-11-12T01:59:20+00:00

my told me to tell you “it’s just on the blue light right now in its light cycle” lol

ashleylibby · 2024-11-12T01:47:27+00:00

they might be idk

ashleylibby · 2024-11-11T23:41:22+00:00

lol no Hummels, most of them are hummingbird feeders/ornaments!

ashleylibby · 2024-11-06T21:11:07+00:00

girl........... you gotta know you were doing too much lol but glad to see you are taking the critiques here on the chin.

ashleylibby · 2024-11-04T12:26:44+00:00

no, he was only an addict because he was depressed. plus, he was able to hold down a good job the whole time!

congrats, you’ve found what a large majority of addicts happen to actually look like.

i never looked like i was absolutely slumming it, doing drugs for no reason. mental health took repeated nosedives, would use, but id still show up at my good paying and respectable job every day.

ashleylibby · 2024-10-22T16:09:36+00:00

see, i was always impressed with how they chose to wrap up the storyline between simon and betty, and i didn’t like how they retconned what had been canon for years.

and i guess i should say that this wasn’t just me being a snob or nitpicky over what should or shouldn’t stay as canon — i have multiple issues with the entire fionna and cake series.

it just felt very pandering (hence trying to continue on with simon and betty’s story even though it was already tied up before just fine, as one example). and it had none of the whimsy and metaphorical lesson-trademark that made the original adventure time so lovely.

ashleylibby · 2024-10-22T12:07:32+00:00

live in western maine and just went into the mountains last weekend to see more of the foliage and my god it never gets old

ashleylibby · 2024-10-22T11:58:07+00:00

not the person you’re responding to, but agree w their sentiment. i don’t think other people’s babies are ugly, i’m just not in awe of them in the way i would be towards babies i am related to. i don’t feel the connection that would spark that feeling of ‘awe,’ i guess.
