  • Did all “nazis” actively do crimes against humanity? Whats the bar they have to hit to be a nazi? Put on a uniform? shoot a roma? say non-aryans are sub human? You want to draw a bright line between national socialists and racists, I’m not going to stop you, but I think nazi is just short hand for bootlicking people who enable the dehumanizing of others at this point in time.

    What word would you prefer?






  • I enjoy shit talking the silent and boomer gens having it easier, but I know I’m wrong. They were raise by people who went thru the cvil war, ww1, and the great depression. There’s a survivorship bias in who you have to hear from, there was the psychological trauma of the constant drum beat of the cold war, the civil rights movement, only being able to live one way. I know they also went thru it, but they are so outsized in their control of the economy and news now I’m just tired of viewing the whole world thru their ancient ass lens.














  • Rad! Enjoy the success high, but you’re going to want to keep chasing that dragon. Don’t be bummed if it fails to work a second time. They adapt, and sometimes they are having a bad day and even the coolest uncle will hit a wall.

    Helpful things for bath:

    • toys that squirt water
    • bath bombs with toys inside
    • the drawing / painting stuff you mentioned
    • hand mirrors for seeing themselves covered in suds
    • cups and buckets for moving water around
    • suction cup toys for the walls (water spout things, marble race courses, etc)

    Also, if you’re new to working with kids, timers that visually count down (not digital, ones that have a colored wheel of how much time is left) are helpful for starting / ending tasks. Also tricks like betting them they cant wash their own hair, or you can finish a bath before the end of the timer can work well. And on nice days with a rain shower, go soap up out side. do it with them. clean off from the hose, they love it.

    you’re doing great! keep it up!
