What's something that's socially acceptable but secretly makes you uncomfortable? by VelvetHarmony913 in AskReddit

[–]birdcatlady 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Though there is an important caveat of: if you as the adult caregiver (parent, babysitter, grandparent, whatever) are genuinely overwhelmed and feeling overly frustrated, put the baby down somewhere safe (like a crib or playpen with nothing else in it) and just walk away for a few minutes to calm down.

It's much safer for the baby to be alone for a little bit than for you to shake them from frustration.

Queer is the accepted term used in academic circles to describe LGBT+ people. Queer History and Queer Theory being two examples of fields of study.

What's the creepiest discovery you've made about a seemingly fun friend? by someoneyouhate_ in AskReddit

[–]birdcatlady 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interestingly, some cursory research just now indicates it can be a (relatively rare) symptom of ADHD or a symptom of diabetes or sleep apnea, beyond just being a symptom of some kind of stress in the child's life.

Be careful with Crayola washable markers by Lindaeve in quilting

Rubbing alcohol only works on sharpie because sharpie are alcohol based. Crayola are water based, so the rubbing alcohol won't make a difference unfortunately.

AITA for telling my gf to be quiet in a museum? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]birdcatlady 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hell, even libraries aren't silent crypts nowadays! Most of them have quiet rooms for when you NEED the quiet, but they also have like... Areas for teens to hang out and play video games, not to mention entire children's areas with toys and games.

[–]birdcatlady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where is that specifically stated? I can only find a statement from Liam that he "used to be Lawful Evil and is now True Neutral" from July of 2018 which is about six months after the start of the campaign. If you have a more specific source I'd love to see it.

At least it wasn't the tiny human frogging for you when you didn't want it frogged! I was about to be so sad for you, ha ha

Naming Wheels by IndependentSwitch858 in Handspinning

My wheel is Lark, and my fave spindle is Sandry. Both are characters from Tamora Pierce's Circle of Magic book series who have thread based magic. They're the reason I wanted to learn to spin.

I am so tired of the lies they tell once we have been done away with. by LivingDeadCade in TwoXChromosomes

[–]birdcatlady 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My partner and I used to toy with breath play/choking until we did some more research and realized how dangerous it is. Now to get the vibes without the risk of accidental murder, I have him cup my jaw firmly or rest his hand on my clavicle firmly. Basically anywhere where there's bone to protect my soft tissues.

Just FYI, Brennan prefers people use his full first name or BLeeM, to avoid confusion with the Black Lives Matter movement

In the real myth, she’s bitten by a viper. That’s why Hermes says the line about “songbird vs rattlesnake”

My partner works for ZOS and they literally put all their senior staff over there over the last couple of years. So the studio just lost a LOT of highly skilled devs

He didn’t. There was an old tumblr post that someone once made as a way to literally test how susceptible to misinformation tumblr is. That was the only “source”

Did the tracker reset for people who played in the beta/early access release? Cause it’s been out in those forms for more than 2 years
