I probably would have done the same thing. Sounds cute to watch.

My husband's have silly names but no dick puns. I'm a little disappointed in him right now to be honest.

Yeah I heard we stole a few here in Canada. Please send more.

At first I was petty. Now I have other things to do with my time so Lemmy has more than enough content.

Illegal for you, I guess. I can wear a mask outside. Good luck down there in the US, guys.

Maybe we should bring back covid masks as a privacy/fashion statement now?

I'm glad she has recanted. Never thought she would.

He is back to normal now thankfully. I can't say it would always work but it has worked for me. It's just exhausting and really hard. By the time my sister was going through it (she was the most recent), I was burnt out and did have to stop talking to her for a few months. I don't regret it though because I still have all of them in my life and they aren't driving me insane anymore.

Don't let them have any peace with those opinions. My mother became a cop when I was a kid and she went from tree hugging hippie to loud and proud racist so fast. It took YEARS of arguing and fighting every time she said something racist before I could finally get through to her. Don't let up. My sister got sucked into transphobic bs too and she finally stopped talking about it after getting a lot of pushback over a couple of years. My husband got sucked into the alt right pipeline in the late 2010s after a lifetime of being hard left. That also took a couple years of never letting anything slide and fighting about every stupid video he watched. Don't give up on your family and cut them out, either, though, please. I know it's tempting but I feel we all have the responsibility to pull our loved ones out of the cult. It's the only way for society to move forward. It's hard. I know. I've done it three times.

Antivaxxers have existed for as long as vaccines have existed, but he and Jenny McCarthy sure popularised the movement.

You may be hyper mobile! Look it up. Extra bendy in the wrong way joints, basically.

 

When I was a kid, Staples ran a back to school ad where parents were rejoicing to someone singing "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" This is my fourth back to school as a parent and I still cannot relate whatsoever. I miss my little buddies. :(

 

I just have to post this because I am soooooo tired of all the videos and stuff I see all over the internet about how dangerous YouTube Kids is. It isn't! It's actually fine! You don't have to let your kids have access to aaaaaallllll of the videos! There is a whitelist feature! It's literally part of the set up process! JFC! My children only have access to videos and channels I specifically chose for them! Like PBS Kids! Please spread the word so I can stop running into these goddamn fearmongering videos.

 

I made a dress for my five-year-old. I'm so happy with it.

 

I'm sure most people here would recognise this as fishy but I'm sharing anyway. Warn your more trusting friends and family!

 

Just made another batch of my favourite burger buns. I use this recipe from King Arthur Baking.

 

My favourite dessert to make! Yeast dough is just really fun to work with. We always eat them all before remember to get photos after baking. I use this recipe from King Arthur Baking. Pretty much all my bread recipes are from there, since they have the ingredient weights listed.
