I know there are a number of chamber hearings this week but I wanted to take the time to called out and applaud Ellen Page for impassionately plead to the world to stop the hate on same sex, trans, and LGBTQA people and also chastising those in power, such as Mike Pence, for proliferating hate speech and calls for violence against those who are LGBTQA. I have family members who are in the community and it couldn't imagine a life with them not living so happily as the do now with their wives and girl friends. Shame on Mike Pence and Trump and those in power who call for "religious freedom" all in the guise of squashing the LGBTQA community. The disappointment in humanity I feel towards these people is so deep it brings me to tears some times. Source: Ellen Page calls out Mike Pence for anti-LGBT outlook

I love it when she owns people on twitter but it’s even better when it’s dumb dumbs like Crenshaw.

I about lost my shit when I saw this on the local news. Given that the leader of the state Senate (a Republican) is who would become the next Lt Gov and thus would become Governor of Fairfax resigned, I shouldn't be surprised that the same site would target him too. They probably seen this as an opportunity to take back the governor's mansion. Fucking shit man.

Robert Kraft and Tom Brady's love of Trump has me feeling blah today. The bad guys keep winning and we have to keep fighting.

If Northam does not resign by the end of the week, I am going to lose my ever loving shit. His behavior is pretty much all the local news is talking about. Nothing else is getting done. It's fucking ridiculous.

EVMS is conducting an investigation. Did you see that there are multiple racist images in just that yearbook? Who knows what they'll find in other years.

Hey guys, I have a parenting question and I can’t do GD for mental sanity reasons.
Here’s the situation: my SIL is about to go back to work at 12 weeks. Her daycare provider doesn’t allow swaddles (I think none do per law). Anyways, she’s trying to transition off the swaddle at home and it’s not going well so now she is facing him not sleeping at night and her going back to work. I don’t have any concrete experience because my DS was out of the swaddle by the time he started daycare. If you have advice on this can you please PM me. I suggested just keeping the swaddle at home so at least he’s getting sleep in one place but idk.
Thanks. Sorry for the interruption. 🤦🏻♀️

I also have a lot of feels of people who arrive as minors and overstay visas. Like should we treat them the same? Because quite frankly do most minors know the legal status of their visas? I doubt it. I have no idea in this particular instance, but this isn't the first time I've seen a person get detained for overrating a visa from when they were kids. I just don't see the benefit in quickly deoorting cases like this.

jaygee I think your suggestion is spot on. If daycare doesn’t allow swaddles it’s on them to get the baby to sleep. I would KOKO with the swaddle at home as long as it continues to work there. If they have that policy they must have staff dedicated to working with kids who are used to being swaddled. Might be unpopular but in my experience going cold turkey with anything just results in disaster and my son loved being swaddled. That and happiest baby on the block shushing techniques were the only way he (I) got any kind of sleep that first year. Do they allow any kind of sleep sack or zippidy zip kind of thing? That could help too.

jaygee - N's DC doesn't allow swaddles either. We kept him swaddled at night at home (moved to a Zipadee-zip around 4 or 5mo, right before we moved him to the crib, since he was starting to roll over). He's never been a great napper at daycare, but he does nap. It may take a few days of tired cranky baby for him to get used to it, but it will be ok Though, we never swaddled him at nap time, so that probably helped.

I wouldn't try to transition out of swaddle at home. Too much stress. Daycare providers are magic; I'd advise her to let no-swaddle sleep be the DCP's problem. But my kid was breaking out of the swaddle at 12 hours old so maybe I know nothing.

Forgive me, I know this is unpopular but there are some awesome guys on that team. Devin McCourty for example has been a strong advocate for juvenile criminal justice reform and for disproportionate punishment of students of color. Don’t get me wrong, I too am sickened by any and all professions of love for trump. It’s disgusting. But they aren’t all bad.

jaygee, I agree with the others! Daycare will figure it out. Keep the situation as normal at home.

It's fucking ridiculous. I was talking about this with H last night...anytime anything like this happens he is instantly suspicious of the why. Why now? Who exactly is behind it? What are they trying to distract everyone from paying attention to?

Daycare is so different that kids often adjust to realising that there is a difference between home and datcare. My eldest was a pacifier fiend but had to give it up for naps at school and we continued to let him use it at home and he never had an issue distinguishing the two olaces.

It's fucking ridiculous. And yes, I agree with what a PP said earlier- this should have gotten out during the primary. Voters deserved to know about it when picking their D candidate. Hell, it should have gotten out when he ran for Lt Gov!

They might not all be bad, but Kraft is the owner and Brady is the star of the team. So they by default represent the team the most, and set the culture of the team.

Yeah, I believe by the time it came out late on Friday, the bill had already died. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I have doubts. I also think that by doing this they can say see we're doing our best to capture overstayed visas.
its just weird. IMO

Thanks guys! You’re the best. I'll echo what everyone else said. N started daycare at 6 weeks old, and was definitely still swaddled at home. She did just fine sleeping at daycare. And we continued swaddling her until she could roll over and outgrew it. So going half-and-half is fine. Hell, daycare got her to drop the pacifier there easier than we got her to at home. Like, a month or 2 before we could get her to drop it at home. Daycare is magic man.
