💙 Surrogacy is about so much more than a pregnancy—it's about building relationships, providing support, and walking alongside one another every step of the way.
Thinking about becoming a gestational carrier? We'd love to answer your questions and show you what support really looks like.

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.
Show Team Dream Team! A lot of hard work and dedication went into this year's YDTC trip and we're so proud of everyone!

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.
The Boal Barn in Boalsburg, Centre County, was home to the State College Community Theatre for over fifty years. I was lucky enough to act with them the final twenty. #community #comunitytheater #communitytheatre #statecollegecommunitytheater #statecollegecommunitytheatre #groupeffort #ittakesavillage #apprentice #apprentices #apprenticeprogram #nunsense #guysanddolls #musicalcomedymurdersof1940 #theheidichronicles #gayrights #bats #centrecounty #nearpsu #nearpennstate #pennstateuniversity

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
Kids need proper role models or they'll latch on to whoever can in any way meet that need.

Awhile back I read a post that a child therapist shared that was all quotes that kids have said in therapy, things that their parents do that don't prioritize them, or hurt them, or ways in which they aren't heard or respected. Ouch. While I do get those kinds of quotes sometimes, more than anything I get quotes that share how much parents do try to understand and listen and make themselves available. #ittakesavillage

@SesameSquirrel We got yer back! I have a stack of puns just ready to go! #iTtakesAvillage #BaroqueSun
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 ➡️

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.
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.

( by outsourcing moderation & laying off the T&S Teams )
.... as illustrated.... at the ' it's too cold to buy Greenland ' rally on the 20th.
Today there are protests ✊
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

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.

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🤦♂️
#grateful I was able to do it though, and in great company #ItTakesAVillage
#ItTakesAVillage great company today for my "recovery" long run. Back to 95% #grateful

It's not so much about who the teacher will be, but what other parents I'll be able to text when I've forgotten someone has technology club after school today, what day the field trip is, and can't figure out the 3rd grade math homework #ittakesavillage
Daniel Atkinson Clark, a Presbyterian minister, describes benevolence. It goes abroad, and tries miseries into joy. This is the offspring of a heavenly temper.
Some contemporary preachers talk about joy as a litmus test, where someone has to doubt salvation if they don’t have enough joy. Clark, too, would have us focus on joy, but on increasing the joy of others.
How can you spread happiness today?

"But I think most village-less people raising children in the developed world right now are seriously misunderstanding what “the village” is/was and the price it demands...
First of all, ... “the village” was literally always women’s unpaid labor.
This “traditional” village we all think we want does not give Mama a break. It is built, stone by stone, on a deep and pervasive assumption that she doesn’t need or want one."

Highlands Suarez Gran Fondo: Loved it, despite being brutal😜
Great showing by the #ColavitaNYCRacingTeam 💪
Always lovely to see the friends at #RitmoCyclingClub
It happened yesterday, but only now I have the strength to post 😜😅
:mstdn: The internet and social media have brought me many lovely colleagues and friends, for whom I am grateful.
Some of us have found one another here (or here, again) on Mastodon - where we share news, commiserate, encourage and entertain one another. Today's smile came from @olafk, and you others know who you are. https://norden.social/@olafk/112535661041004209
Sending all of you ❤.
Have a great weekend.
And thanks for being my 'village'.
After yesterday #LongRide, today #LongRun in the humidity, but before the rain😜
Nice brunch with #friends later. #priceless

Muchas gracias to Sandy Larson of Monterey for a generous contribution May 22 in support of Bicycling Monterey! https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/donors
Sandy is a retired librarian—and savvy about #EarthStewardship! Although humble about it, we know she volunteers—a lot!—at solar-powered, bike-friendly (bicycle rack near the front entrance of the sanctuary) First Presbyterian Church of Monterey, including in the Jay Bartow Memorial Garden (pictured) and in the Stephen Ministry program.

It's so historically weird that I've lived my adult life with practically no interactions with children, except when their guardians were around to mediate.
The corrolary is even weirder - growing up almost never interacting freely with an adult who isn't a parent or paid to watch you.
#ItTakesAVillage I guess.
This week we were able to provide a young child who didn't have a bicycle helmet—and whose single parent didn't have money to buy one—with this Kali Protectives helmet. How'd we manage that on Bicycling Monterey's tiny budget (average gross contributions of $3 a day)? It was possible thanks to Kali Protectives providing us that helmet on April 17; see contributors of project supplies: https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/acknowledgements-dress-up-challenge-prize-donors
Bicycle helmets are required by California law for minors (youth younger than age 18).
Thank you, Kali Protectives!

Muchas gracias to instructors Frank Henderson and Luciano Rodriguez for completing another successful year of bike maintenance and repair instruction at the Monterey County Probation Department Youth Center. The Youth Center's bike education programs were launched by Bicycling Monterey in 2012.
Classes will resume in January 2024. https://bikemonterey.org/probation-dept-youth-center-bike-education.html

I would like full credit for scholarly productivity today for sending an article by a scholar I never met to another scholar I don't remember meeting, which, the recipient said, was *exactly* what she need to tackle her scholarly conundrum. All while remembering the other scholar I never met who sent me a list of cites last week. #AcWriting #ItTakesAVillage
