Parenting is like pursuit predation: careful, patient, relentless, exhausting, and sometimes accidentally hilarious

i'm going to let the lads watch it and just fast forward through the bits with the woodsman and the beast. a bit too intense for us. technically they've seen it before but that's the fun part about babies, their brains barely work at all

Pup got some #SmokeyBear swag a few weeks ago. Looking at this magnet, Pup goes "Dada, what is that stick?" ... Kid has never seen a match. ... Just gonna go drench myself in lighter fluid and wait for the end.
A photograph of a refrigerator magnet. The magnet is an action cartoon of Smokey Bear, a semi-anthropomorphic, bipedal bear wearing blue jeans, a ranger hat with his name on it, and nothing else.

Smokey is depicted in the midst of breaking an enormous fire-starting match over his knee as if it were a piece of kindling. The match is approximately as long as Smokey is tall, and as thick as one of Smokey's arms. 

The image is reminiscent of images of long guns being snapped in like manner, and evokes the idea of Smokey as a fierce opponent of human-made fires.

The six genders
A photograph of a poster titled "my body". There are six cartoon-style human figures in two rows of three. Reading from left to right, top to bottom, they are loose interpretations of the female form outlined in red, the male form outlined in light blue, the skeleton outlined in yellow, the digestive system outlined in green, the muscular system outlined in purple, and the cardiovascular system outlined in dark blue.
