what do you MEAN robins are Alfred’s fault are you telling me he’s going around with a butterfly net like AHA I GOT ONE
tldr in sorrowverse batman might have been able to talk dick grayson into staying home and not fighting crimes if he hadn't found out that bruce wayne was batman. which he did. because someone got so offended by the hypocrisy of bruce complaining about the small child entrusted to his care refusing to cooperate and constantly putting himself in danger that it overrode his good sense. this was a terrible idea and now robins are a thing that exist and alfred will never admit that this was all his fault.

I’ve started to teach kids to knit 🧶.
Sorry if format is weird, I’m typing this on my phone.
So, context; I work at a Daycare that provides Before and After School programing. Basically from 6:30 am to 9:00 am and than from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm there are children at the Daycare.
On Snow days and P.A. Days however, parents still work so the kids come to us and we take care of them until parents get off work.
The older kids at the building (9-12 years) were learning how to finger knit, which is something I don’t know how to do.
So, some of the kids (6-7 years) in my class, asked to learn, I told them I don’t know how but, I can show them how to knit with needles instead.
I didn’t really think the kids would remember but, I still brought my knitting supplies. Wouldn’t you know it but;
A brother and sister learned and then brought it home as a family activity
One of my most aggressive kids finds it very calming, he now has a scarf of his own
And 2 girls share a knitting project going back and forth working on it when the others hands get tired
In total 15 have at least tried to knit and 7/15 kids love to knit with me in the morning and afternoon. And 6/15 of those kids aren’t from my class. They saw the 6-7 year olds knitting, wanted to try, and some of them really like it.
They also have the greatest reasons to knit as well! Here’s a list of reasons to learn how to knit, as told to me for children aged 6-12:
I wanted to knit my grandma something b/c she made me something
B/c my sister/brother is learning
B/c you’re teaching
I want my own scarf
I want to make myself a blanket
I want to make my sister a blanket for her stuffie
B/c you make it look fun
So I can make my own clothes
I love being working with kids man 💜

None of the clone troopers have ever spoken Mando'a in canon, however Rex has called people "kid", including several clones, Ahsoka, and Ezra. We also hear Cody refer to his subordinates as "kid" as well, and once he refers to another clone as "son" (Chopper in the Hidden Enemy)
Additionally, in the 'The Deserter', Rex explains that he is fighting so "our children and their children [won't] be forced to live under an evil I can't well imagine." When Cut points out that Rex can't have kids, as it's against the rules, Rex responds that "it doesn't matter if it's my children or other people's children." He is not denying that he doesn't have kids, but instead implying that he sees no different between his own offspring and others'.
Therefore, there is technically more textual evidence to support the headcanon that Rex would be referred to as "Dad" instead of "ori'vod" should a member of the 501st require a familiar nickname for him. In this essay I will examine the significance of this moniker in relation to Captain Rex, and expand upon how this may change our understanding of the GAR's interpersonal relationships

parents seriously need to be aware of these niche online communities that their children are apart of. So many of these communities take advantage of, often queer, children. Innocent children who are looking for a place to be accepted, and that innocence is taken advantage of by predators. I wish there was a way I could make the general public aware of these communities, and what buzzwords they use. Maybe I'll make a guide. Who knows.

Annual reminder that Aang wasn't a terrible dad, that one episode was badly written and had poor perspective. Aang was a busy, working dad who had a lot of stuff to do, and then suddenly his third kid was a full-on Airbender and he was literally the only one qualified to teach this baby, so then he finally had an excuse to put his family before his duties ("My family IS my duty now, suckers!!!"), and so Kya and Bumi were all "What the heck, Dad???" because they were now teens (iirc) and they missed out on all that stuff.
It was basically Aang going from "my family has 20% of my time" to "my family has 40% of my time". Still not enough, probably, but Aang could finally go and explore his own culture without feeling guilty about leaving the rest of the world to fend for itself.
