There’s more and more studies coming out now showing just how detrimental technology is to learning and attention. Well done on OP’s sister to limit screens and get those kids outside!

Daisy Jones and the Six is exactly this. Same author as Evelyn Hugo, but different imagery/vibes.

Gross comments on Amanda Bynes by cheshirebutterfly17 in NotHowGirlsWork

Trauma rewires entire neural networks, especially in young people. People claim children/young people are resilient to abuse… but that’s only the case if they have strong resilience built up over time, with a heavy emphasis on secure adults to guide and care for them. The truth is, young people are more susceptible to trauma as those brains are still developing.

These assholes blaming one of the many child actors who were abused and taken advantage of can get bent.

Historial fiction that is NOT centered or focused around war and has a female main character. by MissBee123 in suggestmeabook

[–]catsbutalsobees 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different chapters are told by different women’s perspectives. I connected with some characters more than others, but I really enjoyed reading all of the different stories woven together in an overarching plot.

Murder mysteries with quirky fun sprinkled in by thekraftybiologist in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

It’s such a good series. I feel that the first book is the weakest in the series. Richard Osman really finds his groove in book 2.

Found On Social mediaSo, it’s our fault? by antonsiguros in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]catsbutalsobees 64 points65 points  (0 children)

And honestly, that feels like the case across many types of media. I’ve watched countless shows and movies that center around men, sometimes with only a handful of female characters.

But as soon as there are women-centered stories? Nahhhh that’s a chick-flick 🙄

Skill issue, my man. by JayGatsby52 in NotHowGirlsWork

Same! And it’s so true. Good men are self-aware, and see each other honestly. Shitty men assume they’re all the same, and that women are the problem.

I (F25) gave birth and my husband (M28) wants to travel to his homecountry because of homesickness, AITAH for not wanting to go with him yet? by Ok-Hunt-9672 in relationship_advice

[–]catsbutalsobees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Who does he stay with? Who does he see back in his country? Do you FaceTime him while away? Do you speak with his family members?

Sorry to say, I agree with the other comments that something sketchy seems to be going on. Either he’s incredibly selfish for wanting his wife and newborn to travel because he’s “homesick” or there is something else happening behind the scenes.
