Salad #5: Niçoise! I read up on all the ingredient controversies and then just went with Budget Bytes' version in the end haha. Not our fave (for different reasons among each of us), but definitely a solid meal of a salad! Tuna a better fit than I expected.

I'll thread some bookish projects near me. Tiny donations and shares ABSOLUTELY HELP! Just letting teachers know their endless dedicated work is seen, y'know? (But also honestly if you've been in an elementary classroom, you've seen what amazing tools wiggle seats and carpets with squares are.)

(And yes, that is an awfully large gap in the doorframe. Luckily this is in the sunroom, which is enclosed but a secondary addition to house, there's another set of doors between it and interior. I tried patching it one year but carpenter ants came in and threw all my caulk back at me.)

It dismisses the whole worry about the collapsing supply chain to a few trinkets mostly for girls, not mentioning daily necessities while knowing that women also carry a disproportionate share of the burden of shopping and stocking for their families.

If you haven't, may I deeply recommend E. K. Johnston's Padme books: Queen's Shadow, etc. Retcons the movies' missed-opportunity for agency and strength among Padme and her crew. Can't fix what the films centered but feels real good to see those characters handled right. ♥️

Oh this is a delight. Oh this makes my day. 🤣 I thought my county property tax site was bad but at least that has a white background.

I've bookmarked Zoe Keating a dozen times over the years (you've likely heard her soundtracking something), finally grabbed an album. Layered atmospheric cello, such great moods.

Our Stars, Thirst. Electronic dance, a little glitchy around the edges and punches into a nice hard beat.

Spinning, Olivia Elizabeth Basar. Indie again, if the lyric "don't talk to me, I'm not alright" sounds like a mood to you (like it does to me), may I recommend this particular elaboration on it.

If you want your kid to live in a total indoctrination bubble, do private school, do homeschool. Yes, these are hard + prohibitive...I think that's ok! Public school is *for the public*. That means it's important to learn acceptance of folks dif than you there, whether you agree with them or not.

I make a point to read a lot of the books he does, and talk about things I might take issue with. Sure it's awkward sometimes, but easy enough to say "oh fyi, this is an older book and uses a name we don't use for these people anymore", or "huh, do you think this character made a good choice there?"

people talk about this thing? Some people think it's good but our family doesn't. People have different beliefs about some topics." I'm gently, age-appropriately, talking to my Cybertruck fanboy 10yo about why I don't share his excitement about them.

which conflicts with most current religions? and nobody's freaked out their kid is gonna worship Zeus bcs they saw it was socially acceptable in this group of people. You read books about A LOT of stuff, that's kinda the point? TALK TO YOUR KIDS. It can be a basic "Hey so you might hear

Obvy, my whole vibe is that people become better people when they're exposed to folks from different backgrounds and beliefs. And like... I understand concerns about what your kid picks up, my son's about to start middle school yikes. But, like, you learn Greek mythology in school?

Your job as a parent is to set that reference point by which they compare the stuff they encounter. (Also, accepting that they're gonna choose differently sometimes as they get older, but that's less of a factor in elementary school.)

The argument seems to be, I don't want my kid exposed to worldviews that don't align with our beliefs OMG WHY IS YOUR CHILD IN PUBLIC THEN. Your kid is gonna hear a hundred different ideas and dumb ideas from every human they encounter forever. (Have you been on a school bus ever oh my word.)
