Get two birds stoned at once!

I don't watch these myself, but I have a friend with dyslexia who enjoys them because she struggles with reading for long. She says that an actual human reading them and chatting about the content is more entertaining than the robotic text-to-speech aids she uses for other things.

Thank you, fingers crossed for this time :)

Hey there! Absolutely love the idea for this game. I applied for the last Beta wave but didn't get through, am I able to apply again for the new wave?

I get the majority of my son’s stuff on Vinted and sell on stuff that’s still decent quality, the cost of new clothing for kids just keeps sky rocketing and they only fit into them for such a short time anyways.

I also go to local kids’ clothes and toys charity sales and find so much for him, especially barely used books for mere pence!

That makes so much sense. I’m gonna start doing that myself. Thanks for the tip!

That’s interesting, what are the benefits of having a different app for different servers?

I’ve been using Voyager (or wefwef as it used to be known) since day one here at Lemmy. Moved over from Reddit when the API changes were announced, and then any potential negotiations with Reddit and third party app developers broke down.

All the time! I studied Latin and Classical History for years so it’s a deep interest of mine. I often reminisce about the trip I took to Italy with my Latin class to visit Pompeii and Herculaneum.

This is so wholesome. I love finding hand made knitted/crocheted items for my toddler when I’m shopping second hand. I always like to think that their creator would be happy to know that they’ve kept another little one looking cool and keeping warm ‘n cosy with their labour of love. :)

I’m listening now and enjoying it! I feel like these would be a great soundtrack for an indie game :)

I challenged myself one night to record myself improvising on my piano, after a few glasses of wine. I ended up lost in some kind of trance pouring my heart out into the keys. I’ve never been quite able to recreate it again.

I still enjoy listening to it from time to time, it’s a shame I had let a friend borrow my studio mic and just had my phone to record with at the time. Although perhaps the grainy phone recording quality is what adds to the timbre of it.

 

A place for those who are breastfeeding (and those who aren’t but would like to learn more, all are welcome!)

A place to swap stories, pics, tips, ask questions and find support for this beautiful, but often challenging, journey that mamas around the world embark on.

I miss my son being this small - he was basically an immobile, hungry lil potato. There is no way I could game and feed these days, he’d be trying to join in and stealing the keyboard. RIP to my mythic ranking 😢

 

Hi there!

I created this community as I used to visit the breastfeeding subreddit and I haven’t yet found a similar community in the fediverse.

Breastfeeding your child is a beautiful yet often challenging journey and I wouldn’t still be continuing on my own one if I hadn’t found such wonderful support from online friends.

I seem to have been through it all - thrush, nipple confusion, mastitis, oversupply, undersupply and even a period of feeding rejection due to illness. So if anybody else is struggling with any of those please don’t hesitate to ask me anything.
