Elaina @elaina.bsky.social · 28/09/2026ooof yeah so scary!! I'm a pretty relaxed parent and my kids are still small so I don't have to worry about this yet. But I definitely think it's something I'd take a hard line approach to when they're older. Though the trick is to get them to follow that rule which I haven't figured out yet 😂 020
Elaina @elaina.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I have a few fellow parent friends who also work in hospitals and e-bikes/ATVs are one thing they've flagged as something they'd never ever let their kids do. They've seen too many traumatic accidents from them. 102

Elaina @elaina.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Totally valid! FWIW, things like background and such are very much seared into my brain, despite my protestations in that post (though I might mix up clip and origin). I just have a preference for writing it out longhand -- I've just found it easier to signal intention for myself. 000
Elaina @elaina.bsky.social · 14/05/2026Ooo thanks for the link! Agree that there are definitely plenty that I don't retain because of infrequent use. A lot hinges on my last point, that I prefer to write out things longhand for the explicitness/intentionality of it, especially if I'm only utilizing a few sub-properties from a shorthand. 010
