"Evangelicals are often the first and loudest to claim that 'children are a blessing,' yet this messaging [of parents 'above' children] places children at the bottom . . . defined by obedience, submission, and relationship to a parent." @mburtwrites.bsky.social @kkramermcginnis.bsky.social

Hi! I want to send a gift but there is no option for me to send it to you. I think you have to include your address in your list. (If you do, it will keep everything but the city and state private, so you don't have to worry about your address being revealed.)

The other day, the 5-year-old was walking around his house and showed me his “mindfulness spot." I can't explain to you how happy it makes me that the little ones are learning how to process their emotions.
