I was physically disciplined as a kid. I don't think it made me better or more well behaved. It was the adult's way of expressing their anger or frustration.
As a parent now, I wouldn't hit my child, ever. My emotional dysregulation is not their problem. I'm the adult and I should have the capacity to step back from roiling emotions of both me and my child, assess the situation and determine an effective way to help them understand why their behavior is not okay and what they should do instead, in an age appropriate, developmentally appropriate way.
I give our previous generations a pass. They honestly didn't know better but now we do. We have the entire Internet and can freely access so much information on childhood development, human psychology and behavior. We understand mental well being and mental health so much better now. Anyone still resorting to violence to teach their kids are frankly living in the stone age.

I believe there's a section about endometriosis in the book but I can't fully recall since it wasn't applicable to me.

I went through the gamut with infertility and did pretty much everything I could from ovulation tracking to full on IVF for these babies I have now.
Feel free to ask me about my experiences. I don't mind sharing at all.

read Taking Charge of your Fertility. it is the best book on the topic.
there are multiple factors to indicate that you're ovulating. the main ones are:
drop in your basal temperature
change in the consistency of your cervical mucus
it is important to track this daily over time to be able to see the pattern and identify when you're ovulating.
at home test kits can be inaccurate for some people

I'd probably also seal it after it's painted with a clear coat. I'd imagine if this banner is hanging out in sunlight a lot, it'll get a fair amount of UV damage. maybe like what they use for outdoor furniture.

2025-06-05 17:26:32

- reply

why not mix fabric medium into your acrylic paint?
I don't know if putting sizing on the banner would be good if you're going to be manipulating the fabric a lot because it might start to crack. canvases are pretty much never folded so a sizing/base coat works for them.

when I was young my mom would say that she has eyes on the back of her head. she just knew what I was doing when she wasn't looking. how is that possible?
now I know, she doesn't have eyes on the back of her head. She has ears 😆
taro thinks I'm not looking but I can tell exactly what he's doing by how it sounds.

You input your npub and it gives a page that you can link to from other places on the web. On the page, the user can select how many coffees to zap you in thanks for whatever nice thing you did or just to show support. 1 coffee is like 2,880 sats.

the reason people make separate accounts for separate topics and interests in conventional social media is because it helps the algorithm understand what your account is about and uses that to serve content and ads to the audience.
nostr doesn't have an algorithm. whether or not you dilute yourself across multiple accounts is up to you.
