They found a better pediatrician right in Gravity Falls! Turns out all the weirdness attracts weird parents with weird babies.

hello, life has been happening at me

@b1lezy @infinityinakiss @fountainofthought @roarlikeakitten @hcneymooners

I owe you all comments, my TBR&R pile is ridiculous right now, life is happening at me and also I am *attempting* to write (but trying to write Court involves alcohol, clubbing, and flirting, none of which I am intimately familiar with, so it's hard)

Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices

I’m really excited for this! I try really hard to highlight the diversity and wonder of the world to my young boys, buying and borrowing many amazing books that showcase all manner of races, genders and sexual orientations but OH MY GOD DO WE NEED THIS! There’s only so many times and ways I can read these books and even when I’m at my peak of engagement, I’m always a white, able-bodied, middle-class, heterosexual, cisgender male.

But this is excellent! Stories written, featuring and presented by POC! And I can just put it on every day! And I can drink tea! I do so love it when other people get off their arse and make being a responsible parent easier for me.

Will Thorne’s Variety Article (link below) details the books being read and by whom.

kit watches dan and phil i’m right and you can’t change my mind

OK so, when I say "Vax 'Em or Tax 'Em," what I mean is...

...parents who don't vaccinate their kids should be disqualified from any tax breaks associated with claiming their children as dependents.

And any additional taxes collected this way should be used to pay for low-cost and no-cost access to vaccinations for low-income families who DO want them.

Mr. Papillon wouldn’t have known if Adrien arrived late you know, as he was busy... doing criminal activities and apparently taking care of Nathalie now too 🤔

I have never thought of myself as a bird watcher, but this video my daughter caught while out riding her horse is just too cool. Watching both the male and the female nurture their young was a blessing. While humans continue to try to rewrite the rules and change the way things are, nature gets it right. In his word God tells us he created them “both male and female”. There is a reason for genders and gender roles. Like it or not, there is only one sustainable lifestyle. God is good, all the time!

Big up to the father’s who give time to their children! #HappyFathersDay
