Do you have a set of drawers? Most drawers by design have a lot of hollow space. Especially under the top, the sides, and along the bottom runner (the rail at the bottom of each drawer.)

Get a phone clip. Like what is on the end of a selfie stick. Secure using a screw, glue or tape to one of those listed hollows. Most of those places can be reached by pulling a drawer partially out.

Then clip the turned off phone in it's new hiding place. Most people will never look there until they either get rid of the furniture or move houses. Pro tip you can get a phone shaped extra charging battery and do the same to it so the phone can be plugged in and charged. Then the only thing that needs to be occasionally left out to charge is the battery and is not likely to be confiscated.

Because post timeskip is gross! The artist should be beat for what they did to my girls and Zorro.

Already been doing it. Initially started just to give the kids a wider choice of learning opportunities. They did piano, theatre, art, and foreign language on top of our various trips that included science, geography, geology, and history. All things that weren't available to do at the near by under funded elementary schools.

But now we stick to homeschooling to avoid the homophobia, religion, sexism (being a tall girl isn't fun. I know from experience), rabid patriotism, oh, and the violence and shootings.

Behold one of my lizbians. Mourning geckos are typically female and they reproduce through parthnogenis but they are still social and communal. Plus they like to ✂️ with their girlfriends.

Correction in this scenario if you were allergic to peanuts you'd still be guilted.

"It's not that bad", "your mom worked so hard to make you that pbj!", "there's not that many peanuts", "it's just for a little while" The excuses and reasoning never stops when it means keeping the boat rocker happy. Your health and well being DO NOT matter to them at that moment. The only thing that matters is keeping the boat from capsizing.

To defend anime a bit this panel doesn't fit most anime characters who are small. Just look at Rukia Kuchiki from Bleach.

This panel here is just yet another case of men writing women or in this case drawing and by men I mean incels who only see women as sex toys.

Does the account we had on .to work on the .org site?

That's not how that works. Even if that was how that works that's not where the uterus is. Dude either doesn't know where the uterus is or doesn't know where the waist line is.

Eh it's mostly just genetics. My poor hubby and his whole family apparently skipped the cake gene. Even the largest in their families look kinda like 🍦. With a non existent butt. And it goes for the men and women.

My mother in law and I are roughly the same size but I about ripped her swim bottoms when they accidentally got mixed into my clothes while on a trip together. She may have a flat butt but I got a trunk and shocks (big thighs) that I had even in my underweight teen years. So her bottoms were not prepared for my cake and I finally understood why she liked Victoria Secret so much. (Those undies are not for the rear endowed.)

Ripped men is also oddly hetero male gaze. It's not women swooning over muscle bros.

As in painted on clothes, nonexistent waist, round butt. The designs of the women pretty much entirely cater to the hetero male gaze.

1. It's still somehow the original scapegoat's fault. It was a wild hearing my mom blaming me for her house being a mess over a decade after I stopped living there. Apparently the clutter was all my stuff but when I told her I'd come get it or she could toss it that was the wrong answer.

2. The remaining child is suddenly the one expected to do all the things the scapegoat used to do. Even if that child was formerly the golden child. My sister is still the golden child but she got a hefty dose of what I had been dealing with after I moved out.

While true that nobody wants a flat ass it's still misogyny because pretty much only the women are given the sex object treatment.

Misogyny. Just like why all the female characters lose their internal organs.

For this particular event it would lean more towards no judgment on appearance, ability, or gender expression.

While Weird Kids usually strives to provide quiet, less intense spaces for those easily overwhelmed at most of their events. The trunk or treat would be hard to facilitate that. But I can say for shy and non verbal children it will be a welcoming space where there won't be any interaction requirements. No " trick or treats" required to recieve a treat.

Our Sammy has a crook in his tail. But by far the easiest way would be to have his owner, my daughter, yell his full name. Just like a kid if she yells his full name he sprints for cover because he knows he's in trouble! 🤣

I've seen it multiple times but most often from the corner of my eye when I'm working in the study. He'll be trying to sneak out of her room and down the hall. She'll realize he's escaped and yell then the chase is on! He shoots for the stairs before she catches him. He's not trying to escape from us. He's just trying to go to one of his two favorite spots. My living room window sill (where he judges the neighbors as they mow the lawn and black beards joggers) or the patio door to watch the birds at the bird feeder. But my daughter (rightfully) doesn't trust him to be in an unmonitored area.

A free event!

I call it the Huntsville Special. Left most lane turning right and vice versa. I see it on University and 565 all the time.

Unless it's Sir Sic. Then it's all whiskey and good at the sex.

Literally had this same experience at a plus sized shop when I was in my twenties. Walked in and was browsing the clothes and a sales clerk marched up to me and gave me the head to toe once over before snarling that there wasn't anything here for me and asking me to leave.

Yes I was unhealthily skinny at the time but was also looking for a gift for my plus sized grandma. That sales clerk's rude behavior stopped me or my grandma from ever shopping there. I found her a pretty dress and earrings in a different store that was more welcoming.

I tried low contact, grey rock, and firm boundaries And it worked! For my sister.

No kidding. I reduced contact, stopped sharing as much, and tried to set boundaries that included calling before visiting, no bringing random stuff without checking if it would be accepted first, no uninvited guests, no criticism or opinions unless asked, etc. Basic manners. To which my parents ignored every last one of them when it came to me and my kids. But suddenly were doing every last one for my golden child sister though she never asked them to. Even she thought it was odd. To this day they still follow the boundaries and rules I set. Just with my sister instead of me.

Also technically it's my parents that are continuing the no contact. Because I told them we would be open to rebuilding the relationship and all they had to do was schedule a family therapy appointment. No restrictions on date or time. If they woild just schedule one we'd be there. It's been 6 years since they were told that in a message that still exists in their messages. They have not made a single effort to even take that one single step towards meeting us half way.

Check out Shenanigans lots of lgbtq and allies plus in the outreach section there's Weird Kids for Life! A social group that does various meetups. We are currently planning for a Halloween party. But we also do all kinds of meetups.

That pic was from Yule Y'all but we also did the summer markets.

Lowe Mill and Bridge Street are both dog friendly. I used to take my girl to Lowe Mill's vending events and even had the opportunity to use her as a "bait dog" to assist in training a service pup in training. Bait dog meaning my dog was trained to the point she would walk past other dogs without reacting so was perfect to use to teach a young pup to ignore. Because even if the young pup made the mistake of doing something to draw my dogs attention my dog would completely ignore it.

Here she is doing her best to lure customers by offering belly rubs. She may not care for the attention of other dogs but she is a sucker for pets and anyone that squealed "it's a corgi!"

What makes an appropriate pet at what age is extremely variable. Some kids are fine with watch only pets, some kids want a cuddly pet, some kids are super active and need a pet that could keep up with the physical demands. 5/6 is an average start age for kids but again this is extremely variable based on the child.

My oldest went with guinea pigs at 6. My youngest ended up with a crested gecko at 6. While my kids were the primary caretakers it was mine and my husband's responsibility to ensure they did in fact fill the pets daily needs. But the pets were theirs. The pets stayed in their rooms and if we wanted to interact with said pet we asked permission first. We've always had pets so my kids were already experienced with handling animals. But even so we made sure they learned about their chosen pet and were prepared for them before they got them.

Honestly compared to the small, delicate, speedy, and temperamental nature of hamsters or mice rats are worlds better. Especially well bred ones like we had. The only thing I'd worry over is the short lifespan. Sure it's low commitment but death of a pet is a harsh lesson for a kid much less losing multiple sweet babies one after the other. That's what done my youngest in on rats. Granted she was 9 but losing her babies 2 1/2 years later devastated her so much she said she didn't want any more rats.

But I guess my take is there is no universal best pet or best age and regardless of pet or age of the child it is the parents responsibility to ensure the pets get the daily care they need. Preferably by enforcing the rules of care on the child but regardless how it's done the pet's well being takes priority.
