I just checked out the ebook from my library and am excited to start on it! It's a conversation I'm having with one of my kids right now, and I don't feel confident in how to do it well. Super helpful timing of seeing your post shared on my feed!

I'm in the middle of the 2nd book in Suzanne Collins' Gregor the Overlander series. I've read and loved all of the Hunger Games books and was curious about her other work, especially how she approached some of these topics for a younger audience.

My kids play Secret of Mana every time we go over to my parents' house. It's so cool to watch them play and enjoy the games I grew up loving.

Agree with a lot of what has been mentioned thus far, but as a resident on the Gulf Coast, I'm also pretty concerned about what all the cuts mean for the upcoming hurricane season.

If you have a good local library, you might check there. Mine has some good books with a variety of patterns on the shelves, plus a lot more options available through their digital library apps, like Hoopla.

Things like maxi and breast-feeding pads that could fit into gaps and give extra absorption. The wound care nurses even asked her to show them how she did it. There is probably someone else out there somewhere who could use that info too. Would love to share as a public resource, if one exists.

So my mom dove deep into whatever info she could find on how to make it more bearable - to deal with the smell, to make the dressings leak-proof, whatever she could find. She searched out the best available wound care products and figured out how other easily available products could be used. (2/3)

I agree. My little sister's cancer eventually metastasized in growths on her skin. They required multiple dressing changes daily, and since wound care only came out every other day or so, my mom became an expert in doing this job. It was all deeply distressing for my sister. (1/3)

This is actually a conversation that I had with a friend the other day. It didn't make sense to us that avian flu would raise prices to this extent in just the US. Figured it had to do with some price gouging. Thank you for sharing the resources to back this up!

It was inspired by one I found on Pinterest, but there was no page link or pattern. I just figured it out along the way to make my own. Working on my other son's phoenix-themed bag now!

And even in cases where they are therapists, it would be wise to have some clear boundaries around what role they are acting in - when, with whom, etc. It's easy for either side to conflate pastoral and therapeutic care when the needs/ethics of the relationship may not actually overlap or align.

My husband and sons love playing Minecraft together, so I'm working on a surprise holiday world for them for Christmas. I'm a fairly inexperienced builder working on an old system (XBox360), but I'm having fun with it so far!

Thank you for sharing this information. My little sister (26) died from a high-grade NEC in 2022, a little less than 2 years after her diagnosis. There definitely needs to be better awareness of all kinds of NET/NEC.

Thank you for your post and bringing this perspective to the news story. It's so important that people be able to see the consequences of these policy choices before they are made.

It wasn't until this year, when my new dentist asked if I had grown up on well water (yes), that I realized that was a major factor. I don't think he knows how much that short conversation meant for me, to be able to resolve that shame into a much healthier perspective.

I'm 42, and I've spent so much of my life carrying shame at the amount of dental work I have needed. I've apologized for inconsistent dental habits (ADHD contributes here) and put off work because I was ashamed of needing it or wasn't sure I could afford it...

This post hit me deep and encouraged me to have a conversation that I needed to but really didn't want to have this morning. Thank you.

I listened to this episode the week that the elderly cat that had belonged to my late little sister (who died from cancer at age 26 in 2022) was put to sleep after a decline in her health. It was exactly what I needed to hear at the time. Thank you for the comfort you provided.

Your work has been such a valuable resource since we moved back to the Houston area in 2021. You are my go-to weather source, and I was very happy to find you here on after I finally decided that it was time to step away from Twitter. My appreciation goes to both you and Eric for the work you do.

I know that voice you describe, have heard it way too much myself. I hope it quiets down soon so you can just enjoy the fact that you actually got the thing done! Congrats on getting that far, and best of luck for where it goes from here!
