I am once again asking for some light arson

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

“Bets, u know I’m a 15th degree blackbelt of buying shit on the internet”

"You don't even have a dog"

Rocky: "why Grace so 🎶🎶🎶 stupid. Question."

Grace: "Excuse me buddy?"

Rocky: "...🎶🎶🎶 stupid. Hmm. Need word."

Grace: "...what does it mean?"

Rocky: "Meant add strength to word. But some Eridians think also .....rude"

Grace: "So a swear word. I'm not giving you the human word for that."

Rocky: "Why not. Question."

Grace: "Because this human thinks they are rude too."

Everyone is giggling even before the video gets started

Skizz is absolutely massive on the tiny seal

Skizz and Tango have matching ear-to-ear grins

Tango reaches out to try to catch Skizz when he starts to fall and only ends up patting him on the shoulder

Impulse is visible ahead of them for like four frames and smiles over his shoulder at Skizz 🥹 He’s skating with his buddy!!

Gem appears nearby after the first spin, and her hand appears in frame again after Skizz’s spill, meaning she was also keeping pace

Cleo and Scott are off to the side watching the shenanigans unfold. Cleo is recording.

As Grian put it, Skizz’s butt cheek slides off and then the rest of him goes with it 😂

Tango tries to catch him and then goes down with him

Skizz does a cute little roll on the ice, laughing the whole time

Jimmy is trailing behind and comes up on the carnage looking baffled

Tango’s clapping and “AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN AGAIN”

Grian’s laughter behind the camera
