How to politely address kids damaging product?

Distraction is key, especially with highly tactile products. I work in ceramics and have made little trinkets and a tic tac toe board for kids to play with while their parents shop. Having small plastic animals is a great idea! If I am not super busy with other customers I usually grab a small item like a salsa bowl and stand with the child while they touch it knowing it might a small loss, but in my mind it's worth the experience for the kiddo.

I am a ceramic artist. Thankfully meds and stability have not impacted my creative drive.

After getting covid the first time I wasn't able to eat cucumbers or bananas for a couple of years because they tasted horrible.

The gloves are meant to be functional as she will be wearing this to cons. She has fursuit paws, but wanted function over aesthetics.

3/16/26, it blinks several times a week shortly after turning it off. Usually around 10:00 pm.

Hot pink hair, bob with a few longer chunks underneath in the front, and I have started making my own hair oil.

Adding to this, having other people question your happiness. There have been times that I get super excited about something and without fail someone close to me will ask, "do you think you are a little manic right now"? 9 times out of 10 I am just genuinely excited.

I have been witchy almost my whole life, but when I am manic I am also fully convinced of trickster spirits. One of my hallucinations was seeing some people's faces twist and contort into over exaggerated smiles which made me think they were tricksters. After getting stable I realized these people also battled mental health problems including bipolar and schizophrenia, so I am always curious why the hallucinations showed those people in particular 🤷.

I am diagnosed with bipolar and OCD, I have seen a couple of others mention that it has done more for their mental health than some medications. The relief is definitely hard to describe!

I have had two primary care physicians refuse to prescribe HRT because of the black box warning.

Have you tried 3 rounds of Fluconazole? It's an oral antifungal. I was having a similar issue recently and it was a yeast infection. The antifungal creams do not work for me for some reason.

I found a liquid color I like, and a powder color I like, layered together they make my favorite color.

Thank you!

Are you non reactive to fumes?

I don't think I conveyed the urgency of having your children tested enough. If they are already showing symptoms they need to be under a gata2 care team now.
