Honestly, I'm so tempted, but the thought of MORE living creatures to be responsible for right now is too much. Maybe next year.
Yea, no pesticides. Need bugs for baby to catch when he's older.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! I'm mostly concerned with keeping ticks of my 7 month old. I want to spend as much time outside as possible. But I also worry that finding ticks on my baby will break my poor sleep deprived mind.

Our backyard is also surrounded by woods...

Gender affirming care for kids puts them on hormones that pause puberty until they are old enough to make a decision for themselves.

It doesn't castrate them. It pauses puberty and gives them time to think things through and go to therapy.

It's important to pause puberty because if they go through puberty as the wrong gender they end up getting harassed by bigots after they transition.

Hitting your kids isn't child abuse in Texas.

Also, The Foster care situation in Texas is so bad that an argument could be made that kids Might actually be more abused In Foster care than if they were left in their original also awful situations.

Also something to consider: In Texas kicking your kid out for being gay Is not child abuse. Sending them to conversion Therapy isn't child abuse and sending them to unlicensed military schools isn't child abuse. but gender affirman care is.

I'm not sure where someone would find a database of snowfall recorded by the hour. So finding the 24 hour record would take reading historical news articles and a lot more research than looking at a chart. The article doesn't list it's source but I'm guessing the national weather service.
