It's a lot healthier to go for a daily walk than to sign up for a gym membership you won't be using because you hate that kind of exercise. It's a lot healthier to eat a frozen meal than to skip a meal because you were too tired to cook something healthy. It's a lot healthier to take a quick shower than to procrastinate an elaborate routine for days. Don't aim so high that you won't be hitting anything!

this is actually really helpful and affirming thanks

remember when u were like 11 and the only thing u wanted was a lava lamp

[ID: digitally drawn comic in a cute style signed at the bottom with “wawa wiwa comics .com” which has four panels.

Panel one shows an axolotl and a chameleon sitting side by side looking up at a starry night sky. The chameleon says, “Such beauty in the stars.” The axolotl replies, “I can only imagine.”

Panel two is similar to the previous, only the chameleon is now looking at the axolotl. The axolotl says, “I have really poor vision.” The chameleon replies, “Oh.”

Panel three shows the axolotl looking down, sad. The chameleon looks a little to the side with a smile.

In panel four, the chameleon has changed colour to mimic the stars, and the axolotl looks at the starry chameleon with great delight. End ID.]

When I see people sharing so much of their kids' lives, I think about that one time my child told a joke, I shared that joke with ONE FRIEND in a private conversation, and my child said "can you please ask me next time, before you tell people something about me?"

And, yes, I absolutely should. So I apologized, and now I ask.

"I love that video of you, can I show it to a friend?"

"Can I tell a friend about how clever you were just now?"

"Can I share this in the family group chat?"

"Can I show your art to grandma and grandpa?"

And it's not like my kids don't like when I share their jokes and puns and fun moments. They love it! But they want to have control over what I share with people. Even without their faces or their names. Even people we know and trust.

And they deserve to have that control.

Remember kids

This thread is gold

Holy shit that's so cool

Finally “do you love the colour of the sky” got compressed for our convenience

This is now my favorite photo

can anyone tell me why i enter the grocery store a normal person and emerge as some sort of vile ravening monster

you are all. correct.

I think that when we tell teenagers that their lives will be over if they don't have the most perfect possible trajectory through the education system, that this is, perhaps, if I may be bold, not good for them,

dont let people tell u ur attraction to fire is "abnormal" or "hazardous" prometheus doesnt have his liver eaten every day for u to ignore the allure of arson

I especially love these two excerpts from her wiki page

I tell kids about Tilly ALL THE TIME when I'm doing tsunami presentations for my job. She lived in a landlocked part of England! She probably thought she would never ever ever use what she learned in her geography class about tsunamis and then just a few weeks later she used it to save over one hundred lives! It's an incredible story about how anything can happen anytime, and we need to be prepared to act.

What I think is most important about her story is that, even as a kid, Tilly knew she was right and she stuck to that knowledge. She practically threw a fit until her parents listened to her, because at first they kept brushing her off. And that is SO IMPORTANT for our kids to know! Adults can be wrong. You need to trust your instincts. YOU can be right and YOU can act in times of danger and emergency. YOU have the power to save yourself and others.
