  1. A couple of my son’s friends just showed up at my house because they fell into a nearby retention pond and soaked themselves. I put them in dry clothes and sent them on their way a little warmer and a lot drier. NGL, feeling good that I apparently give off the “safe grownup to run to” vibes for kids literally in over their heads.

  5. We went to the ice cream shop and there was a boom box outside of the serving window playing this tune. Two little girls and a boy, roughly 4 or 5 years old, were dancing and showing their moves.
    We have to pass on our knowledge and experience to a younger generation.

  9. I get energised by hosting and speaking at events, and I’m grateful for the support that enables me to do this - my team (ie Mastodon core folks); my partner; the individuals who helped in the room today with timekeeping and Q&A; the FOSDEM volunteers who make things work and happen; the people who submit talks; the people who reviewed and curated the talks for the track; the people that show up to participate #ItTakesAVillage

  13. People who champion the nuclear family and insist that it is the only way to have a healthy family, are ridiculously misinformed.

    The nuclear family -- as has been enforced by monarchial, state, and corporate powers -- is an exceedingly recent invention.

    Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

    We evolved to be cooperative breeders, with communities that heavily engaged in alloparenting ➡️

  17. Hello 👋🏾
    Guess it's time for an #introduction.
    I heard about this platform from @Thesageambrose and decided to give it a try. I'm needing to move away from Meta for....reasons.

    I currently reside in the #pnw. My parents and in-laws live nearby, which is great because #ittakesavillage. I have 4 kids between the ages of 2 and 12. I have 3 #cats and 5 #geckos. I love watching #truecrime and listening to #murdermystery podcasts. I'm currently learning #mandarin, and entering my #teagirlyera.

  18. This year, I'm also working on launching my own "Boots for the People" donations drive. To get workboots donated to marginalized, newly housed folks who are trying to make a living from new job & for longtime housed folks living under poverty line who can't afford quality work boots.

    I'll need some local volunteers in #Saanich & #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland areas to help me with picking up/dropping off donations, help with spreading the good word out & help with obtaining free or discounted printed promo materials for the donations drive.

  26. You've heard that "it takes a village to raise a child". Guess what killed "the village"?
    It was capitalism. Capitalism killed "the village", forced people into cities, increased the cost of living such that most households require both parents to work (plus all the aunts, uncles and grandparents). Capitalism needs to be reined in (or replaced) if we want to rebuild "villages" of support and community. #capitalism #ItTakesAVillage #RebuildTheVillage

  30. Wildlife rehabbers see the #hurricane horrors that don't often get reported. An uncountable number of wild beings have been killed, injured, or displaced in the flooding. Many rehabbers lost everything but are still trying to help.

    NY rehabbers filled a truck with donated supplies heading to WNC and are working on a second truckload. And GA rehabbers got permission from the state to temporarily care for FL wildlife patients so they can evacuate.

  34. Morning open water session today as the forecast had rain and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
    We got the rain, but then it was sunny and would have loved to go back in the water😜 but we were already on our way back🤦‍♂️
