A truly fascinating mindset right there. I hope someone somewhere is doing research on internet mom groups because whew is there rich material

Omg THAT'S what that post was about?! Good lord

The only critiques of historical accuracy in romance dramas I'm willing to entertain are those of @cora.bsky.social regarding undergarments

My mom brought craft scissors for me when we flew to florida when I was 2. It still sounds fake when she retells it

I only learned about Pertussis protection waning more quickly when I was pregnant and told to have my husband and anyone else who'd be in close contact with baby get a booster. Wish this was more common knowledge!

Pretty jarring to see "America First" (credit union) emblazoned all over the arena while trying to watch a @utahgymnastics.bsky.social meet. Do you know the history of the phrase? Can't you just use some Big XII or UU tablecloths instead of seeming kinda fascist?

In library school we literally had discussions on how to handle collection deselection and disposal because people try to "save" gross old outdated books. It's wild.

it's also a demand never made of, say, rural people who won't go into the city because they think they'll be murdered.

And their average age is 75. It would be slightly lower but the 106yo skews things (or maybe that's just my church kitchen...)

every mainline protestant congregation has 20 women who could put together a silent food delivery operation in their sleep.

I have been to that Pizza Ranch in Waverly!

The absolute celebrity-related highlight of my life was meeting Steve Smith when he came to Iowa on tour. He was so lovely and to this day Red Green is a comfort watch.

Waiting on mine to work out cause and effect. He was walking around the house with his eyes closed before bed tonight. Got very mad about the constant tripping and falling. Yeah, that's going to happen, kid

Just last night I finally got my 15 month-old's newborn pics into an album. He tried to help by stealing all the pictures featuring his grandpa

I've seen a few people posting stuff along the lines of "2026 is the year I'm going to read more!"

My friend, don't pressure yourself. Even as an author, I say this: Read better, not more. Read what you love, stop reading something that isn't working for you. Don't aim for more, aim for pleasure.

Literally just had a strategy meeting with my husband as we're driving to the in-laws. "Okay if he doesn't fall asleep now we'll get there, cram down lunch, and do a one-nap day"

Praying the excitement of family keeps him up until bedtime 🤞

My mom and I were JUST discussing this. Catalyst was seeing Grinch-themed plates at Williams and Sonoma

My parents were excited to change my baby's diaper. Not in a weird way, just the novelty of having a baby in the family again. Changing a daip is no grosser than wiping yourself, honestly. wtf people

Is he trying to be funny with "duct tape on a pig?" Fuck that guy omg.

My mom got around this by writing a note "from Santa" explaining that he ran out of paper and had to borrow ours.

That was the only thing that kept me going after 2024. I saw the results coming in but I had a 2 month old. Couldn't rot in bed, had to change another diaper, prep another bottle. A very tactile reminder that life continues; the fight continues

My mom runs the funeral lunches at her church and every time she serves potato salad someone asks for the recipe. It's the bulk premade stuff from Sam's Club.

I straight-up forgot to add the sugar to a pumpkin pie one year. Could barely choke down a slice covered in whipped cream. My dad didn't notice any issues and housed three slices.

My dad hasn't been to a movie theater since 2003. He saw Nuremberg Wednesday and was INCENSED at the insane number of ads. Like, the most mad I've seen him in ages

My mom and I have started doing this but more based on free time than skill. And people are "asked" not told but totally told. The aunt who is ALWAYS late is assigned a pie/dessert, nothing crucial to the main meal.

Literally just buy a pack of kings Hawaiian rolls no one will be mad and it takes 5 minutes!

There are Cheerios in my food processor. Who needs an advent calendar when you have a toddler?

The evangelical megachurch across the street from my childhood church directs people to call us when they get calls for help. Because we help with bills and hand out grocery store gift cards. They're building a big new sanctuary.

Well I WAS enjoying breakfast...

Definitely remember using leftover garlic breadsticks on a youth trip one summer. Very tasty sacrilege!
