I think this post is evidence of top-notch parenting. You've figure out you're in a tricky moment, and have started putting in the work to navigate it, and you'll be prepared whatever eventuality.

Did the pronouns revelation seem like a big deal to Miniest? There's a good chance it felt like a bit of a "coming out" -- and safety in your (conscious and subconscious) reaction will be closely being searched for. As long as Miniest knows nothing else changes, there's still beds to be made and dinner to help prepare, you'll be good.

Some people don't seem to realise that their comments have a reply button underneath them for a reason, that critique or questioning is a valid form of participation in a discussion, and that there's always the choice not to respond (or not even post in the first place) if they can't handle it.

Watched the first speech last night of the new member for Melbourne, Sarah Witty. (From 5h40m41s)

It was a moving and notably principled speech, and I think she could be a source of much needed leftward pressure on federal Labor behind the scenes.

I'm not sure appalled is a proportionate emotion? Though it's been a rough week for commuters.

I hope everyone will be choosing their waterproof mascara though, could be quite cold and wet.

I just dropped all of mine off for recycling, so I can't help, sorry.

Without a doubt, this piece at the end of Drewery Ln. Definitely check it out some time after the sun sets (though I think the lights switch off a 10 or 11).

I reckon you are thinking of a Zippo. You can buy them online but you probably want to gift it with a can of lighter fluid which you can only buy in person. Both are sold at smoke shops and often camping/outdoorsy shops.

Do you mean a Zippo, or something else?

Just remembered Peter Dutton will never been Prime Minister and it really warmed my heart

I had photochromic lenses for a while. They change very slowly when it's cold, nearly blinding you when you walk back inside on a cold day, and they do not get dark enough to be good at being sunglasses. Leaves you wondering what the point is.

Lugged something heavy (first mistake) to somewhere I forgot to check was open (second mistake) and now my arms are so jelly from the two-way trip that I can barely lift this cup of tea to my mouth.

No story spoilers, but here are some Death Stranding 2 thoughts:

spoilerI wish most producers were given as much creative freedom as Kojima. There are a lot more weird and sellable games out there that never got made because big players in the industry are so risk averse. Very few game series have been such a weird fever dream and so deeply moving as the Death Stranding games. I can't re-watch the final DS2 sequences without tearing up. So beautiful and sad.
