There's a woman walking around the kids room in a gorgeous fur coat over a bubblegum-pink hoodie and sweatpants; absolutely INSTANTLY obvious she's an out-of-towner. (Possibly a visiting grandparent? The kid she's with looks sort of familiar.)

Okay, it took me three days to finally do this, BUT!
You can buy whistles from us now!
I stress again that getting the whistles free is the OBVIOUS OPTION but some folks want 1-5 Kit Rocha whistles instead of 100 whistles, or to support us. So. OK!

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

I've been beating myself over the head with trying to make DIY kaleidoscope kits (out of a box of scraps!) that are
1) actually something kids can do AND
2) easy to write clear instructions for AND
3) without stupid amounts of pre-prep
and then said fuckitall and bought a bunch of kits off Etsy👍

this one really makes me wish I could wear rings
Speaking of leveling up we had this piece that went up on the shop and it had to be resized. Instead of a stretch job, I had to add silver into the band. While doing so I noticed that the topaz in the center was cracked, so I also had to replace a stone and the end result is really pleasing.

Your father is choking your brother. What do you do?
Well, if your father is choking your brother, it is necessary to stop your father. You'd probably stop trusting somebody who said it wasn't necessary; anyway, I'd hope so.
There are a lot of ways to stop your father.

Amazing cover of this piece of musical history about Hitler. I’m very impressed that this band decided to cover this song for now other reason than to make sure we can all appreciate Irving Berlin’s lyrical talent.
