They will read if you read. Sadly the trick to parenting is almost always making yourself a better person first.

The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.

Melanie, baby. Don’t let too many people warn you about that nigga.

Your dreams told you, America told you, movie night told you, the owl told you, your sister told you, your MAMA told you.

Keep playing and you will ruin your life. #LoveIslandUSA

Back to this:
Imagine your wife winning PS5 at the office and she gives another man at the office with smiles and pictures.

And she comes home to tell you then gaslight you that you're overreacting when you complain.

I swear she hates you.

If I had a daughter, I fear she would socially be behind because I’m sorry, but she would not be having lashes and XL acrylics in the sixth grade

i can’t believe we went from masterpiece hand-drawn animation to soulless, mass-produced 3D animation

Love Island for me is a live study in sexual economics of hetero dynamics; how bodies, race, skin tone, personality, trauma, insecurities, fears and attractiveness interact and are weaponised in competition, and how the public’s voting choices reveal our biases and pecking order.

[Iron Heart ❤️ @Thickfitjen]

This season of love island is missing the plot. No winners during the challenges. No dates. No actual real conversations. Most of this cast needs to be on too hot to handle or temptation island #LoveislandUSA

Fred Rogers met with a child psychologist every week for 22 years to build his show. She shaped everything: every script, prop, and song. The whole point was to give a child's nervous system time to slow down. In 1984, a single regulatory decision ended all of it.

The psychologist was Dr. Margaret McFarland, who co-founded the Arsenal Family and Children's Center alongside Benjamin Spock and Erik Erikson. She and Rogers understood that the prefrontal cortex in children, the part of the brain that controls impulse, emotion, and attention, takes decades to fully develop. At the start of every episode, Rogers tied his sneakers and changed his sweater while children settled in. Those pauses were intentional, designed to help a child's nervous system shift into a calmer, more focused state.

What ended it had nothing to do with child development science. In 1984, Reagan's FCC chairman Mark Fowler abolished the advertising limits that had protected children's programming from commercial pressure. Toy companies moved within months. Between 1984 and 1985, cartoons tied to toy lines increased by 300%, from a handful of shows to more than 40 animated series. In almost every case, the toy was designed first. The cartoon was built to sell it.

Researchers later put numbers to what parents were already noticing. A 2011 study in Pediatrics from the University of Virginia tested 60 four-year-olds across three groups: one watching SpongeBob, which cuts scene every 11 seconds; one watching a slow PBS show, which cuts scene every 34 seconds; and one drawing. Nine minutes later, all three took tests on attention, impulse control, short-term memory, and problem-solving. The SpongeBob group scored significantly worse across every measure.

In the 1970s, children began watching television around age 4. Research from pediatrician Dimitri Christakis found that by 2009, the average age of first screen exposure had dropped to 4 months, as the content got faster and the audience got younger. Researchers separately found that each additional hour of daily screen time at ages 1 or 3 raised the risk of attention problems at age 7 by 9%.

We didn’t realize it then, but kids’ shows used to be this calm on purpose.

Jesus Christ do you understand how important this is

Sometimes when I tell people about having go bags, they say if the apocalypse happens they just want to die. But I’m thinking more about stuff like this, where you need to move fast and just get out of the area. Have stuff for your pets ready, too

The funny thing is once you’re pregnant, entirely new unknown fears will be unlocked, they won’t be about you, they’ll be about that little life inside you, and the least of your worries will be bouncing back.
