I told my girls (7 and 11) that I would make a #GTMD donation for them to an organization that did work that mattered to them. I didn't make suggestions. The youngest chose Como Zoo and the oldest Bridget for Youth. 🥹

Has anyone done actual in-depth reporting on the broken car windows thing? I’m tired of reading Nextdoor posts blaming bad parenting and weak prosecutors. Why are there cars with broken windows in my neighborhood almost every morning? Is there anything to do about it?

Every time this hits the news, I get reminded that people think children are merely vessels to input things into, not complex humans in their own right. Are YOU operating in work / life the same way you did before the pandemic, JANET? Why do we hold children to standards we can’t meet ourselves ffs
Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.
