We moved here 7 weeks ago, and our 9year old refuses to take a car anywhere. Fully converted by week 2 to going everywhere by bike. We love this city.

Update: 48 hours in, and a commute to and from camp and one ice cream trip later, he asked why people drive when they can ride, and suggested “there should be a law against driving in neighborhoods” 😂 this is on brand as he has objected to every car trip since the one home from the hospital.

That’s what he’s doing in the picture, unlocking them so we can ride back from the grocery store!

Moves to Minneapolis 26 hours ago. The 9 year old is extremely into the car free lifestyle already, did 10 mile ride with donut stop, and then a quick grocery trip this afternoon. He lost it when I said we had to drive to grandmas for dinner, “it’s only 3 miles! Why are we driving?!?”

And the climate in Idaho is much better too, if they could just concentrate themselves in one place that would make things easier.

He was completely senile at the end and tried to kiss female pages who had to help him to the well to vote. Disgusting man.

Took me 100k words and they nailed it in under 40.

A picture of a poem by Loryn Brantz where their child is miserable they turned off Bluey and they’re lamenting not knowing how to explain luck to the child.

No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

Mel Robbin’s has always rubbed me the wrong way, so much privilege and so little real self awareness. My mom loves her and and sends me her crap constantly. 🤦‍♀️
