My lil gal went through a phase where she had trouble getting to sleep so I played that on a loop for her. Such a calming piece!

Gen Alpha is so weird. My kiddo has been on a roll with “POV memes” this week.

My big worry is that these folks will try end federal protections that provide for English language learners.

And this is the kind of content I’m here for! ☺️

Same, same.

Starting with tilapia or mahi mahi might be a good way to ease them in. I remember there being a place where we used to live that made a killer mahi mahi sandwich. The texture is firmer but it’s a very light tasting fish.
