@Schubes17 @VoteForMeKellyB No way, congrats!! Just had my little one two weeks ago. Welcome to parenthood!

@sportswithjohn It is a little mind boggling, isn’t it? I found vlogbrothers the summer of 2007, just as I was graduating high school. Half my life ago. My entire adulthood.

fascinating to see someone describing my ideal scenario— local daycare facilities springing up to meet demand, creating a critical density of childcare that serves the neighbourhood— as a worst-case outcome

@StructuredSucc I love rolling dice for decisions like what movie to watch or where to go for dinner. Keep a rolling list of ideas on my phone that I add to when I think of things. Let the dice decide in the moment.

My 5 year old has started asking “why are there no small potties here” anytime we go to a public restroom and its got me noticing how inaccessible so much of the public space is for children.

Yes, it's fun to watch the ducklings in the park, but sometimes it's just as fun to watch the people watching the ducklings, this moment of vulnerability we are sharing.

@apihtawikosisan I bet https://t.co/vzWLkViW97 could help you get set up with a system that works for you.

I’ve been training for this for 16 years.

Winter trees make my heart happy 😍 For me, they turn a winter walk into a treasure hunt - there’s so much colour around if we look closely. I just *love* how they’re all exactly the same yet completely different at the same time, how head-pleasing is that?! 🤌

[Leif Bersweden @LeifBersweden]

Oh my GOODNESS I’ve wanted to see this for ages! 🥳 Alders contain tannins that leach into gathering raindrops, dyeing the liquid with colour. The effect is *stunning*. This Alder (Alnus glutinosa) I came across was glinting gold, amber & deep wine red. How beautiful is that! 😍

“The only way to have the childcare that all these parents want, and that we’ve been working for for 50 years, is to have it be publicly funded with really solid public policy,” says ⁦@_MFriendly⁩

[Michelle Cyca @michellecyca]

serious question: presumably these people sent their own kids to school, which is *also* subsidized by taxpayers. why do we all understand the value of a publicly funded system for kids 5-18 but not for 0-5?

“I, for one, wish you good memories of this holiday. And I hope you’ll be able to look for all the different ways that people have of showing that they love you.”

[MisterRogersQuotes @MisterRogersSay]

“The winter holiday season is meant to bring us warmth of many kinds at the coldest and darkest time of the year. It's meant to lift our spirits, bring us good cheer, draw us together in our traditions and rituals, ease our burdens, and renew our hopes.”
