- Get one of the dispensers with the large jug.
- Only allow the kids to drink at the dispenser so any spills are contained to a designated area that can be kept clear. Use small paper cups to further limit the amount of possible spilled water.
Those concerns were comically easy to address. I really expected it to be more about the kids using water or bathroom breaks to run out the clock and avoid the math practice, which you have to address on more of a case by case basis.
I regret to inform you that 57 is divisible by 3.
Roll tide? But on a serious note, I believe you mentioned you went to UA. Any particular thoughts on your time in Alabama and the politics there?
Best of luck! I don’t interact much, but your comments and posts have consistently been top quality and given me a lot to think about. You’ve got a talent for putting words to ideas I’ve only been able to vaguely grasp towards, so even as mostly a lurker I know that you’ll be missed, but someone’s got to do the hard work of raising the next generation’s posters.
Would love to give your previous novel(s) a try if you’d let me know where to buy them.
I wonder what the lead and cadmium content of the transphobic chocolate is. I assume all of their products are low quality as the grift seems to be to make a version of whatever the latest Woke Item is. I don’t know if there are that many buyers for this, but I interpret their mindset to be more like sports or idol group fans who buy lots of merch to show what a fan they are. The quality is not the primary concern. Just, in this case, what they’re primarily concerned with is signaling is that they’re a fan of the imperialist white supremacist capitalist patriarchy.
Love to all my trans comrades. You deserve a world much better than this, and I have learned so much from listening to trans people and am so thankful for your existence. I can only recognize transphobic dog whistles for what they are because of what I have learned from my comrades on Hexbear and elsewhere. While I’m just one person, I am doing my best to make it known that my friends and family that they cannot be transphobic without getting an ear full from me. I’ve been really disappointed in the ones who have chosen to be Treat Defenders instead of allies, but it also makes me feel like I’ve made the right choice in not telling them I’m not straight. Thankfully most of my friends are on the same page, and I can be open with them, but I worry that I can’t trust my family anymore.

:jesus-christ: I realized the MRAs have a huge issue with child support but there are other solutions.
Abortion would need to be federally protected first, but I think having a legal framework for the inseminator to relinquish parental rights as well might be good. It would have to be done early enough for the carrier to be able to terminate the pregnancy if the inseminator does go this route, and would relieve them of the responsibility of paying for child support as well as all visitation rights. It could be as easy as filling out a form with a notary public, getting both parties’ signatures.
This would be rough without a bit more financial assistance for carriers who then still decide to raise the child alone, but at least they’ll have a heads-up if their partner never intended to pay child support, and never have to worry about a custody battle.
I should say I’ve never had to deal with child support personally, as a parent or child, but I have had friends whose dads never paid and their moms had long given up fighting for it. I also have a friend who became pregnant, decided to keep it under the impression that her partner was sticking around to raise it, and he left her mid-pregnancy, and afaik is not paying child support.
From my perspective, skewed as it may be, I’d like to know as early as possible if the person who gets me pregnant has no intention of providing for it, and I think giving a way to terminate parenthood early on in the pregnancy would encourage those who are going to leave to make that decision quickly enough for the carrier to take that into account when making the decision to keep it, as having a reliable partner would heavily weigh on my decision. This is just an idea to try to both give inseminators an out, and put a timer on that decision, like abortion.
