one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing

Children are wild my 4 yo is currently screaming bloody murder in the back of the car because I won't acknowledge that she's screaming bloody murder. Make it make sense girl

[kaity--did]

I can already smell the comments, no I am not neglecting or ignoring my child. I very calmly told her "I love you and I am here for you and when you can talk to me without yelling at me I am happy to talk about what you need. You can yell all you want to, but don't expect mommy to fight against you for your own attention"

And she is yelling "IM MAD AND I DONT KNOW WHHHHHHHYYYYY AHHHHHHHHHHH" so we're obviously just working through some stuff 🤣

[kaity--did]

screaming abruptly stops

tiny voice says "uhm mama I am done schreaming"

"Okay honey. Can you tell me what was wrong now?"

"Uhm I can't fink. I think I just need a pretzel"

honestly same girlie

Update on this in the car this past weekend penny very loudly said "OH NO I NEED A SNACK OR I WILL BE ANGRY!" So we're doing really good at naming our emotions ... or at least our hunger 😂

this “bon appetit” meme has turned into some sort of bizarre telephone game where each incarnation sounds more and more different than the original. in what way does “bon appetit” sound like “osteoporosis”

[lady-dainty]

i don’t know but it’s cracking me up every time i even think about it

[catrad0rable]

bon appetit -> bone apple teeth -> bone ??? ??? -> osteoporosis

[transcrowleyy]

this has layers, man
