  • I don’t yell at my kids, but they seem conditioned to only respond to being yelled at. getting them to do things they aren’t inclined to takes a lot of effort on my part and being consistent in that effort while working full time, cooking ,shopping and driving them to activities is more than I have managed so far. I have read how important consistently is but just have not achieved it yet.

    I feel you SO HARD on this, truly. It’s really difficult to juggle everything and still be a “perfect” parent. I lose my shit sometimes as well, it’s inevitable.

    The library is a great idea! It sets a good tone for learning and it’s not as distracting as being at home where all the cool stuff is lol


  • Reading is non-negotiable in my house. His teacher this year also required 20 minutes of daily reading as homework, so it was easy enough to keep it up. I don’t care what my kid reads as long as he’s reading - that means it can be Dogman or Captain Underpants books or whatever he wants to read for those 30 minutes. Sometimes he chooses to write something for that time because he’s found a love of writing recently.

    Outings are our family time. The experience itself is enough for me, I don’t push the educational angle a lot. We just talk about the stuff we’re seeing and it leads to deeper conversations about the world or him or whatever he wants to talk about.

    This is just to help inspire you for the summer, sorry I don’t have more recommendations for workbooks and the like. We just don’t use them outside of school because his classroom is already so structured.










  • HPS is a severe and potentially deadly disease that affects the lungs. Symptoms of HPS usually start to show 1 to 8 weeks after contact with an infected rodent.

    Early symptoms can include:

    fatigue fever muscle aches, especially in the large muscle groups like the thighs, hips, back, and sometimes shoulders About half of all HPS patients also experience:

    headaches dizziness chills abdominal problems, like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain Four to 10 days after the initial phase of illness, the late symptoms of HPS appear. These symptoms include coughing and shortness of breath. Patients might experience tightness in the chest, as the lungs fill with fluid.

    HPS can be deadly. Thirty-eight percent of people who develop respiratory symptoms may die from the disease.

    Hantavirus can be spread once mild symptoms appear, which unfortunately are so mild that most people wouldn’t even think about it being hantavirus. And it can take up to 8 weeks for symptoms to start to appear.

    Edit: In addition, the fact that a flight attendant managed to catch it does speak towards it being more contagious than previously thought.

    Comfort to me, what does that even mean?

    One reason, do we persevere?

    Existing for the sake of existing, meaning disappears

    Meanwhile, I only just started learning basic politics

    Meanwhile, they sexualize my body and get mad when I exploit it

    It’s just for capital

    Am I an animal?

    It’s just for capital, capital, capital

    But do I care at all?

    Amyl and The Sniffers - Capital immediately came to mind.

    It’s hard to survive in late stage capitalism. Might as well exploit it.
