Revolutionary parenting hack:
If your child is in the middle of some activity and clearly enjoying it (and wasn't supposed to be doing something else instead), DO NOT interrupt them and have them do chores that will "only take 5 minutes or so!"
You haven't asked them to do anything before they got out the Legos, started reading a chapter of their book or painting the complicated picture, or began playing their video game.
As a result of being repeatedly interrupted, they will learn that their presence in public space of the household=availability to do chores, so they will make themselves scarce so you can't find them and order them around. They will also become suspicious of your efforts to engage with them as they play, as they've learned that these pleasantries are a prelude to "Take out the trash", or "move your boots and vacuum the entryway, there's dirt everywhere ".
"But I need my children to help me around the house!", I hear you cry. I understand. Children should not be treated like royalty and left to their own devices 24/7.
An alternative is to give the kids a clearly delineated chore chart and stick to it, resisting the urge to add anything to it. There are some chores that are easier and quicker with two people, though. A (in my opinion) even better option is to divide the child's day into "on-duty" and "off-duty " time. When they're on-duty, you can interrupt them as before, but you have *consulted with your child beforehand * and they understand that during this time they can relax, but they must be ready to jump in and lend a hand.
That way they won't start trying to level up in their video game or break out the clay and make stuff. When they are off-duty, you leave them alone and their only responsibilities are to clean up whatever mess they make at the end of this time.
Also, if they are tearing around the house or whining about being bored, don't make them do chores so they will "have something to do"; this could make the child conflate extra chores with punishment for whining and make them reluctant to help out when you randomly tell them to at other times because they might think they're being punished but they have NO IDEA WHAT THEY DID. And IMO children should see chores as things everyone has to do no matter what, not punishments.
I may seem unqualified to offer parenting advice as I have no kids, but I was talking with my dad today and he said: "I wish you didn't hide from us in your room so much, but every time your mom walked by she'd give you a chore to do, so I can't blame you for that." A kid who hides in their room to play has an entirely different relationship to the family than the child who sprawls on the livingroom floor and excitedly describes the city they are building out of Legos.
And today, in times of Covid I play a complicated game of hide-and-seek with my mother as I try to do my online coding homework and apply for jobs. I am now attempting to turn my bedroom into my own tiny office because if I work in our home office, she'll find me and go "I can't attach this file to my email," and so on.
Children *have* to obey their parents when they are young. But true respect and honoring collective responsibilities is stronger than forced obedience. If you demonstrate to your children that you respect them and their time, they will reciprocate.
Tl;dr if your child is "always hiding in their room", there is a reason for it and setting a regular routine and boundaries will benefit both of you in the long run.

Reasons I have seen webcomic authors publicly cite for cancelling their comic mid-storyline:
Too busy
Lost interest
Increasing age gap between characters and author made it difficult to relate
Did the math and figured out that completing the planned arc with their current update schedule would take 150 years
Ostensible author actually a fictional persona that’s now being retired, and they didn’t want the comic linked to their real identity
Realised that the way they’d written the central relationship wasn’t emotionally genuine (note: this was a hobbit porn comic)
The comic’s readership contained too many lesbians
Converted to a religion that regards all representational art as a form of idolatry
Broke up with the person the protagonist was based on
Outed as not actually Japanese
Imprisoned for manslaughter
Aliens
Can we talk about this?!
HEY remember in WWII when Jewish people were fleeing Germany and the USA put a quota on how many Jewish immigrants they would accept because they were worried there were too many Jewish people coming over to the USA???
Reminder that the USA has always been fucking garbage to immigrants and basic humanity
Here’s how you can help:
Sign this petition calling for the investigation of the mass murder and torture of LGBT people in Chechnya
Support the Rainbow Railroad, actively involved in rescuing LGBTQ+ facing violence in their home countries
Read this article by out.com for more ways you can help stop Chechnya’s concentration camps
Please reblog this. There’s a lot of arguing in the reblogs/replies, but no links to actual concrete ways to become of help to these people.

Send me to Mars with party supplies before next august 5th
No guys you don’t understand.
The soil testing equipment on Curiosity makes a buzzing noise and the pitch of the noise changes depending on what part of an experiment Curiosity is performing, this is the way Curiosity sings to itself.
So some of the finest minds currently alive decided to take incredibly expensive important scientific equipment and mess with it until they worked out how to move in just the right way to sing Happy Birthday, then someone made a cake on Curiosity’s birthday and took it into Mission control so that a room full of brilliant scientists and engineers could throw a birthday party for a non-autonomous robot 225 million kilometres away and listen to it sing the first ever song sung on Mars*, which was Happy Birthday.
This isn’t a sad story, this a happy story about the ridiculousness of humans and the way we love things. We built a little robot and called it Curiosity and flung it into the star to go and explore places we can’t get to because it’s name is in our nature and then just because we could, we taught it how to sing.
That’s not sad, that’s awesome.
*this is different from the first song ever played on mars (Reach For The Stars by Will.I.Am) which happened the year before, singing is different from playing
This is humanity
Happy Birthday, Curiousity.
me: i know we just met but im in love with you

i've arrived at an unfortunate and regrettable conclusion
"The protests are beginning to change the world."
We are all with you. We fight with you. #BlackLivesMatter
things bungie needs to add in game
- when you idol long enough in game, Ghost will ask if you’re alright and says he hopes you’re doing okay and that he’s very proud of you. things like that. encouragement.
-when you open nav mode and let that screen idol for long enough, Ghost will get bored and start whistling or even float down and fall asleep in your hand
-When you equip a new shell he twirls around excitedly when you load back into the game
- please, please bungo let me give my ghost a hug, or just show some sort of affection toward him… it’s what he deserves
Zuko.. Makes more sense when you remember he doesn’t get a lot of sleep. Like canonically he’s just so tired most of the time
When he was instantly nicer to Iroh after getting sick? That’s because he took a fucking nap
I should rewatch atla and take note of how stupid and/or angry he’s acting + how much sleep he got prior I think I’m onto something here I think I can statistically prove that Zuko is like this because he’s tired
This is Zuko

Just a reminder that Black artists need to be supported right now. A lot is going on, but an aspect of it i want to focus on is black characters in media. Often a default, even for you black creators, is to design with white characters in mind. Support black creators and encourage blackness In our media beyond just side characters, character customization, and one off background characters.
