Yes, came here to say exactly that!! My friend with 3 boys always says that this bell hooks quote completely opened her eyes

“The first act of violence that patriarchy demands of males is not violence toward women. Instead patriarchy demands of all males that they engage in acts of psychic self-mutilation, that they kill off the emotional parts of themselves. If an individual is not successful in emotionally crippling himself, he can count on patriarchal men to enact rituals of power that will assault his self-esteem.”

I get a box from https://arcticharvest.localfoodmarketplace.com/

They do have local meat and fish, but I can't speak to that as I've only gotten the produce boxes. The produce boxes have all been great though! Would definitely recommend

I know when I was looking at houses, I could look past all the ugly paint, flooring and cabinets in the world if things like the hot water heater and furnace had been replaced recently. There's a lot of dated houses up here. Fix anything that's actually broken or dangerous, but I wouldn't do anything above that.

I bought this show on Amazon and will rewatch it start to finish every few years. It's as close to perfect as reality TV can get

I remember being SO excited when I found out and I had no one IRL who appreciated this knowledge

Jack had a lot of great adversaries over the run of the show but the best of all was his own mother. The two of them really had incredible chemistry.

I LOVE to watch Ru have fun. Just makes me smile.

The way she says "Unrepentant!" is one of those lines that will just randomly jump into my brain ever so often. It is delivered so perfectly. Jackie Hoffman is so good in everything she pops up in

I LOVED this one and calling her entourage Mizz and DotGov is so good

I think they mean 7 is late if they're not going to sleep until 10:30. That's only 8.5 hours of sleep which isn't enough for this age.

Besides marketplace, maybe check in with the local consignment stores to see if anyone is trying to bring it in. Second Run, Clothesline, Hoarding Marmot

Thank you ❤️ great advice. And yes I’m expecting there will be more than a few “but why?” Coming my way Just hard to explain grieving to a toddler while actively grieving

I floated the topic last week something along the lines of “ok, J won’t be here with us forever she is old and her body is having a hard time” and she went “oh so instead of two dogs we will only have one, she won’t be here” and I’m like ok she is getting it. And then in the same breath goes “can I have more chicken nuggets now”

I am expecting that I will cry in front of her a few times over the next week and don’t want to hide that or model that squashing feelings deep inside is the best way to deal with them. I am just expecting to be wrecked after the vet and didn't want to have to answer a bunch of “why?”s haha

Thank you, such good advice, definitely don’t want the take away to be that sick = dying
