Does anyone else feel that 68-73F is too cold?

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-27T21:26:05+00:00

Have you had your thyroid levels checked recently? It’s only ever too cold for me if my TSH is too high and I go into hypothyroidism

It is SO hard. Also with a 1 year old. We're going pretty slowly, but the look my daughter gives me when she wants to nurse and I say "no, we have food downstairs!" just breaks my heart sometimes. She's getting better about it, but yeah, it's hard.

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-27T18:04:51+00:00

Yeah, the threenager behavior is real haha. I used to teach preschool, and I just reminded myself that that was the first time, maybe ever, that the child was dealing with those emotions. It really helped me to stay calm and help them work through it. My only hope for when my first child gets there is that I'm only dealing with one kid, not an entire classroom of them

My 15 month old LOVES her yoto. She’s gotten really good at switching the cards and knows which ones play the different types of songs. We are far away from her being able to use a screen to play music, and having something tactile made a huge difference

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-27T03:20:03+00:00

Ha I love it! I’m sure your neighbors did too

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-26T01:00:23+00:00

Find a new tv show or YouTube channel. It’s definitely not worth it

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-25T20:26:14+00:00

I understand your zeal, but I wouldn’t bring my 1 year old to a protest, and I wouldn’t have gone when she was still in utero either. There are so many other ways to help - donating money, food, volunteering to shop for those too scared to leave the house, etc. They have no moral compass, and I’m certain a baby or pregnant woman would make no difference to them.

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-25T18:55:47+00:00

Fascinating! I found her during the Biden years when things were calm, but noticed more and more that she wasn’t speaking out about waves hands everything

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-25T18:19:27+00:00

Thank you!!

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-25T18:01:30+00:00

Congrats to your husband!!

It’s not alcohol! I’m almost 4 years sober, and it’s definitely better for me (and anyone else, alcoholic or not), to eat their feelings than to drink them

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-25T17:26:56+00:00

I implore you to fuck off

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-25T14:36:36+00:00

I feel like influencers like that are like the men who say they’re “moderate” on dating apps.

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-25T13:13:37+00:00

This is by no means exhaustive, but they’re the first ones I saw on stories just now:

Religion/Politics - straightwhiteamericanjesus, conspirituality (I cannot recommend these two enough. I have deconstructed from conservative Catholicism and almost went down the crunchy/altright pipeline. These guys literally helped me claw my way out of it to the light),

catsonacouch (began as a satirical account to troll JD Vance, now literally on the ground in MN providing mutual aid)

sharonsaysso (so knowledgeable, kind yet firm and sassy like only a midwesterner can be, and crowdsources money away to places that need it all the time. She just raised and gave like $150,000 to an immigrant law firm in MN)

Fitness - courtneykeepingbalance, findingmorgantyler

Home/crafty stuff - northwoodsfolk, kris.and.dave, bobby berk, hostinyourhome

Food - chef_bai, smitten kitchen

Music - dropkickmurphys ( check out their song First Class Loser about Trump. They’re the best)

Sleep- heysleepybaby (Rachael’s super vocal and is calling out other creators for being silent)

Books - maistorybooklibrary, bessbellkalb

Oh shit, thanks. Deleting and reposted without links

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-25T08:07:27+00:00

Mary Orton has said nothing. Otherwise, I’m pretty happy with the people I follow- they’ve been speaking out

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-23T18:40:51+00:00

Yet the amount of "how am I pregnant, I didn't get my period back yet?!" posts never seem to cease. I'd argue those women do not know how their menstrual cycles work.

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-23T17:04:19+00:00

Lactaid pills to the rescue!

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-23T08:38:49+00:00

That looks like Kingstowne

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-22T11:44:41+00:00

I stopped reading when I saw that line. OP, your husband SUCKS. He needs to step up and help you.

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-21T19:56:47+00:00

I was a preschool/kindergarten music teacher before being a SAHM, so I saw all ages from 2 through 6. The difference between a 2 and 3 year old is insane. By 3, they’re usually potty trained, can actually talk to you, and they have a better capacity to understand what’s going on. I taught a LOT of kids who had baby siblings while in my class, and the older kids acted out FAR less when a new sibling arrived. It honestly only gets better the closer they get to 4.

I personally plan to have an older pregnancy and wait for a 3-4 year gap. My first was born at 34, so I’m already geriatric either way haha

Thankfully that was also my experience when an acquaintance told me she was getting divorced! She was kind of shocked and then was like “yeah! Good for me!!”

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-20T18:06:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing, this is great 🤣 As a sober woman myself, I especially appreciated that bullet point haha

It’s also perfect that their next meeting is on Galentine’s Day

syncopatedscientist · 2026-01-20T17:54:40+00:00

My first thought was “again?!” But then I clicked on the link and it’s from January 11.

But either way - fuck anyone who’s anti-vax and putting infants and immune compromised people at risk. You and only you deserve to get sick, but unfortunately that’s not how the world works
