  • Before being a parent i tried to do as much net positiv things for my energy level as possible.

    • Go for a walk in nature as long as needed to feel decompressed
    • Do something creative (with which i struggeled a lot because of overly high expectations for myself)
    • Some caring for the body (e.g. a bath, nails, skincare, whatever)

    But now as a parent, i just rest as much as possible and try not to feel bad for doing so.

    There are studies indicating that 1. The Urbanisation of previous bird habitat has a much bigger impact on certain populations and 2. Most of the birds killed are common and adapted to urban life. Which leads to the conclusion that cats are not the one and only big problem for sining bird population, which is mostly spoken of in this context.


  • Oh, these kids will make their experiences whatsoever. Even helicopter parents need to do stuff from time to time and kids somehow KNOW if they are not watched, ever for a second. It might take longer to make all the experience one needs, but they will get them one way or another.


  • Most definitely as a baby or toddler, yes you have. And if it was not asphalt it was similar stuff like walls and such.

    As soon as one has enough data and a brain developed enough one absolutely can tell the feel and taste of stuff even if not tested.

    Bonus points if your a parent. Toddlers WILL force stuff in your mouth and you WILL have the chance to test the theories.



  • Good point. Im still wondering though if people like her are really responding to fear or if this is more about reinforceing ideas, agendas and drama.

    Feeling somewhat uneasy seeing people in your neighborhood whos demographic you don’t like to see around, as unnecessary and harmful this is for the community, is something entirely different than realising you could possibly be harmed in the situation you are in right now.

    Im just assuming here that she wont get a fight or flight response every time she sees a black guy or something, though. If she does this is an entirely different problem and may be better adressed by a professional.


  • Its good to know how. In many of those classes they will also teach us to trust our guts on stuff like that and GTFO before we need to fight. And i think thats equally important. Its really, really hard to defend yourself agains someone bigger and heavier than you. A fight not fought is a fight not lost.

    And never forget that a weapon can also be used against oneself, especially if not used often or trained.

    Stay safe out there ladies!







  • I had enough nice bread go bad to come up with a strategy.

    Freeze half the loaf if you can. With a Toaster you can defreeze and toast at the same time. For my toaster i vary between full blast for whole grain like spelt or rye and mid/high for softer types like multigrain with more wheat, may even go lower on those soulless wheat loafs that don’t taste like anything except empty calories. Leave the rest out and it will be ready to eat the other day or next meal. I mean, the bread is stale by day 2-3 anyway so toasting it is kind of a no brainer for me.
