I lived in a relatively nice apartment that had a problem with the front door closing. I once found a baby mouse in my bag of chips, caught another one by hand because its tail was peaking out from under my shelf, and ended up catching about 15 in total (one actually got in my mouse’s cage).

When I wanted to be Gabby.

Two things:

The controversy reached a disturbing peak on 6 June, when a man slapped a four-month-old baby on the head, claiming he had mistaken the infant for one of the dolls. He is out on bail, and the baby is reportedly doing well.

And:

The wave of controversy appears to have been ridden by politicians on the right: according to the news website UOL, all bills presented in May concerning reborn dolls were proposed by rightwing and far-right lawmakers.

“If a topic is trending, these politicians will propose laws about it even if they make no sense,” said Kalil, who also coordinates a research group about the Brazilian far right.

She highlights the timing: the country’s leading far-right figure, former president Jair Bolsonaro, is now on trial for an attempted coup and, after a prior ruling by the electoral court, is already barred from standing in next year’s elections.

“So there is also an element of grabbing attention and pushing an agenda, especially when the right wing camp is in crisis over Bolsonaro’s trial and no one knows who will emerge as their new leader,” she said.

Hmm… 🤔

2nd grade, the meanest teacher I ever had got mad at me for using a colorful pen to write on my classwork. In front of the class, she told me to “never bring that pen back to school.” This was a new pen that I had just bought - the kind with multiple colors inside and I wanted it for my babysitter’s after school so I could use it on the Spirograph - so I said, “Can’t I just keep it in my backpack? I go to my babysitter’s…” and that’s where she cut me off and proceeded to yell at me in front of the whole class and made me sit out for recess for “talking back”. Since I had “lunch detention”, I had to eat last, but I had never been in big trouble before and I cried the whole recess and, by the time my lunch came I couldn’t eat from crying so they called my mom to talk me into eating.

Sad to hear this. I liked the people I’ve met from lemm.ee and the hands-off approach to defederation that the instance had.

I see your dad values efficiency in his communications.

Interestingly, hanitizer is what I call the sanitizing stuff you put on you hands.

Things I’ve learned from Superbowl: top: snowy owl. Middle: Great horned owl. Last: idk anon6789 will have to tell you.

Shout out to @[email protected] who does their best for owls irl and lemmy. Thanks for all you do to bring us bored humans the owl-based serotonin we seek. 🥰

They are the only instance I know of with an active mutual aid comm.

“If you really care about the nutrition piece of making people healthy, can we talk about how there are not enough grocery stores within walking distance for individuals? Can we talk about the high price of vegetables and eggs?” Plata-Nino said. “If you really care about this issue, look at the systemic root causes.”

That’s socialism.

Do you or your kid throw surprise farties for your wife?

This isn’t really how 14 year olds text, right?

MONSTER! IT’S GOT WHAT BABIES CRAVE!

I would assume it means neurotypical in general.

Then are toads specialized frogs? How does that work?

I was thinking the north west was looking pretty bare too. Some in Montana, but that’s all.

I use the Aceto Balsamico de Moderna from Trader Joe’s to make salad dressing and it’s amazing.

Other than that, I’m not a huge vinegar fan.
