(makes me think of a song from Sesame Street-

My hair is black and red, my hair is yellow My eyes are brown and green and blue

My name is Jack and Fred, my name's Amanda Sue I'm called Kareem Abdul, my name is you

I live in southern France, I'm from a Texas ranch I come from Mecca and Peru I live across the street, in the mountains, on a beach I come from everywhere, and my name is you)

Here's the Sesame Street song...

My kiddo was born in 2013 and we got the Dolly Parton Imagination Library books delivered for about three years before our local library was unable to keep participating due to funding cuts.

Many of the early board books were photo books that showed diverse babies/toddlers and families.

I'm certain it was meant to normalize young kids seeing a variety of people, even if they lived in communities that aren't super diverse, and to be sure every kid that got the books saw themselves and their family represented.

There were also bilingual books in English and Spanish.

Idk if this graphic is just the DPIL books, but I know we had many of these and got some from our local library too. That Global Babies series is just gorgeous!

There's so much good lit out there for kids! If you have kids in your life (your own or friends/family), make sure they have access to good books! I always had a running wishlist for kiddo for books and was lucky to have relatives who liked to give books for birthdays and holidays.

the thrill of finding out what you were made for

[picazos-angsty-typist-deactivat]

#do you think most people are so domesticated they have yet to find their bowl of snow?#people who’s talents lie somewhere outside all this#such as digging really nice holes

these tags did something to me

[glumshoe]

what do I have to do to go to events where people are dressed nicely and there are plates of free cheese cubes

[nowlander]

Go to the inaugurations of littlely known artists’ exhibitions.

We are always begging for people to attend, there actually is the “hack” to invite your whole family but tell them to pretend they don’t know you. People with money are more willing to buy your work if they think many people likes it, so your mere presence eating our cheese and canapes will be a great helps. Please bring whoever you want too.

[glumshoe]

Don’t mind if I do!

I will dress like an eccentric weirdo if that helps.

one time a pal of my pals was having a tough time selling their work in an art exhibit and called us up on the last day, ‘us’ being about 8 students who were Very hungry and also bored. We put on the nicest/artsiest clothes we had available (one dude had a legit fancy suit and put on some shades which were Bright Pink he looked like a movie star I swear) and rolled up to the show in pairs, separately. Fine Art Pal has some nice paintings! but nobody is really paying attention to them, so after getting some fancy cheese cubes in a manner that did not betray that we were actually a ravenous pack of starving students we casually wander around the show and then, fairly individually, drift to a stop by their work. Some of us even walked away, then came back a bit later ‘captivated’ by the art (it was actually really nice but recall we were all poor as shit and this was a help hustle). Our group’s interest naturally caught other folks, and eventually there was a small clump of about 15 people musing over this art, and within ten minutes the biggest piece had been snatched up by a shrewd investor. by the end of the exhibit every single piece was sold. It helped pay off the artist’s student debt and on that success they got into another exhibit! They’ve been doing well ever since.

So yes, please attend new artist shows, you get free cheese, get to look at nice art, and you can really help out people who deserve more attention.

my hottest take

[keeper-of-the-flames]

Counter point, those machines can make me a peach sprite.

[pusheenthenerdcat]

guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare

[maimonideznuts]

[pusheenthenerdcat]

yeah the guy who invented them made incredibly precise infusion pumps (as opposed to gravity fed ivs) which not only meant they could give medications to teeny tiny babies safely, it's also used for insulin pumps and portable dialysis machines. the key element is that it's a peristaltic pump so the liquid stays in sterile tubing for safety

(unholy drink cloaca uses it to dispense precise amounts of flavored sugar syrup)

[mothnem]

Super interesting but I have to reblog a post about unholy drink cloaca.
