@Her_Nonymous_D No 10 year old that I know uses the word “mock”. Made up story to make a point.

This woman on TikTok said:
I met a 10 yo girl in a bus headed to the next city. Her mum was asleep beside her, head tilted against the window
The little girl sat between us, watching a funny cartoon video on her mum’s phone.
But she didn’t laugh. Her shoulders shook like she was holding it back.
I leaned a little closer. “Is it funny?” I asked.
She nodded.
“Can I watch too?”
She slid the phone so it was between us. The next scene had me bursting out laughing but she didn’t even smile.
“You’re allowed to laugh, you know,” I said softly.
She pressed her lips together again.
“You like laughing?”
She nodded.
“You won’t laugh?”
She nodded again.
I lowered my voice. “Why?”
She stared at the video.
I tapped her hand gently.
“You don’t have to tell me,” I said. “But if you want to, I’ll listen. And I won’t judge you.”
She swallowed. Then whispered, “I just moved to a new house with my mum. While I was playing outside with the neighbours kids, I laughed at something they said and they…

@Mr_Husky1 Maybe the parents who were going to be responsible for 22 other children at the party were hesitant not knowing what to expect from a non-typical child at their party. Maybe you need to let other parents know that if he is invited to social events you would be there too to assist

“An Open Letter to the Parent Who Invited the Whole Class—Except My Son…
Hi there,
I know we don’t know each other well, but our children are in the same class. Recently, your child handed out birthday invitations to all 22 classmates—except my son, Sawyer.
This wasn’t an oversight. It was a choice.
And I want you to know—we don’t expect to be invited to every birthday party. When Sawyer had his party last year, we kept it small too. We understand that not every child can be included every time. But in this case, you chose to include everyone except him.
And that’s what made it different.
It wasn’t because he’s mean—he’s the happiest little boy you’ll ever meet.
It wasn’t because he isn’t fun—his laughter is contagious.
It wasn’t because your child and mine don’t get along—Sawyer talks about your child often, with excitement and kindness.
The only reason is because my son has Down Syndrome.
I don’t write this in anger. I write it because I believe this is an opportunity—for reflection, for growth, for understanding.
Down Syndrome doesn’t mean you don’t want friends.
It doesn’t mean you don’t have feelings.
It doesn’t mean you don’t love birthday parties.
People with Down Syndrome want the same things we all want—love, connection, belonging. Sometimes it takes a little patience to understand Sawyer’s words, but his laughter, his joy, and his love need no explanation at all.
I’ll admit something honestly—I used to be like you. Before Sawyer, I didn’t understand. I was unsure, maybe even a little uncomfortable, because I didn’t know what to expect.
But Sawyer changed that.
He’s taught me more about joy, resilience, and unconditional love than I ever imagined possible. His siblings have grown up with a deeper sense of empathy and connection because they’ve learned that being different doesn’t mean being less.
Maybe your child didn’t want him there.
Maybe you weren’t sure how to handle it.
But that’s where parenting matters most.
This was a moment—a real, meaningful moment—to teach your child something powerful:
That inclusion matters.
That kindness matters.
That leaving someone out because they’re different is never okay.
It could have been a simple conversation. A small lesson. But one that could shape how your child sees others for the rest of their life.
And I’ll be honest—I’ve reflected on my part too.
I never introduced Sawyer to his class as “a child with Down Syndrome.” I’ve always just seen him as Sawyer. But maybe if I had taken the time to explain, to educate, to open that door for understanding, things might have been different.
So yes, I’m hurt.
But more than that, I’m hopeful.
Because I believe you and I both want the same thing—for our children to grow up feeling loved, accepted, and included. For them to learn compassion. For them to never feel like they don’t belong.
Please know—I’m not here to fight you.
I’m here to talk, if you ever want to.
I’m here to advocate, not just for my son, but for every child who deserves to be seen.
Because every child deserves more than just a seat in the classroom.
They deserve an invitation to belong.”

@LarryJones Only had first shot and booster due to propaganda. Never have had it but did have the flu.

@DarthAV8R @ComeHometoRome My response as a former church going Catholic turned bible believing Evangelical is that the Catholic mass goes long but not deep into scripture. No emphasis on bible study to learn Gods word on your own. Just spoon fed.
English

@ComeHometoRome Exactly. I’d love to see a Protestant make it through a 4 hour Easter Vigil mass, standing and reciting scripture for most of it.

@JustAdaugoijele Everyone said everything at the same time because they’re all rite prayers.

@GralinBD2 @TownSquareTake2 @saylordocs I’m 65 went to HS in the 70s. Lived in a nice suburb smade 50% of my clothes.

@TownSquareTake2 @saylordocs Boomers were born in the 50s not the fucking 1850s made their own clothes get fucking real.

@parodyqueen @CharlesTingler Oh my gosh, I used to fear going to Good Friday Mass because we had to line up and kiss the crucifix on the feet of Jesus. It freaked me out. When I mentioned this on another site saying this, people told me that never happens.
English

In my youth in Chicago that was the rule. No Bibles. Only priests had them. So don’t condemn what you don’t know. In fact the masses were in Latin also. And they made us go to confession, not smile in church, pray to statues and kiss them, do baby baptism, sacraments , lent, forbid meat , etc. all manmade rules
English

To all these Protestants who claim you are former Catholics, and you say that the Catholic Church taught you not to read the Bible or that you should stay away from the Bible, and that you can't understand it, only the Church can, quit creating calumny and falsehoods. I have literally walked into Mass and they have Bibles out in stands. You can literally contact your diocese and they'll mail you a Bible, as well as the Catechism. I know because I've done it. Vatican II, even the Catechism of the Catholic Church, requires Christians to read the Bible, so just stop with the calumny. There are a lot of things I disagree with in the Catholic Church, but this is not one of them. So stop lying. The Catholic Church teaches to read the Bible. They have study Bibles. They give Bibles out. Calumny is a sin.

@PicturesFoIder This is cute but babies prefer sweet to any other taste so it’s not conclusive.
English

@redheadranting Because mayonnaise is using bad oils. I stopped buying my favorite which was Hellman’s
English

Why do so many brands like Hellman's/Best taste bad now? Maybe not bad, but not as good as they used to.
Is it because I'm older and my tastes have changed or is it because the product is different?
I've noticed this with most dressings, sauces, condiments. None of them taste as good as they used to.

@SeahawksNicca @beyoncegarden As a teacher we have safety protocols. A shooter is in school and 250 parents are trying to get in to get their kids? That would be chaos.

@beyoncegarden So how do u call ur parents if a school shooter there?

I feel like nobody buys flour these days. When was the last time you actually made your own dough and baked something?

After realizing that poor women were using the flour sacks to make clothing for their children some flour mills started using flowered fabric for their sacks, 1939.

@sheuf34832 @newstart_2024 Usually you have to be in a disadvantaged district for loan forgiveness, otherwise you’re responsible for the loan repayment.
English

@newstart_2024 So explain how she didn’t qualify for loan forgiveness as a teacher.
English

She poured her heart into becoming a teacher—borrowing just $28K in 2008—and has faithfully paid back $37K over 17 years without ever missing a payment. Yet crushing, compounding interest has left her owing $58K... more than double what she started with. Now jobless after budget cuts ended her classroom career, she's watching her dream turn into a nightmare of endless debt. How many good people are being buried alive by this interest trap?

@DisrespectedThe @Nicole02344393 I see many Norwegians do this. Maybe in their countries where many people don’t drive regularly?

They must get plenty of exercise if they’re on a dance team. 😳
