Toy Libraries help reduce consumption and increase kids' quality of life.

I absolutely love the idea of toy libraries! They are libraries that check out toys for children instead of books. You can find these libraries in a number of different countries and communities around the world. Kids have access to high quality toys without contributing to the endless cycle of purchasing then discarding.

Does anyone have personal experience with a toy library in their own community?

Mine tried to start one about a decade ago and it hobbled along for several years before closing post-COVID for lack of funding and community support.

From https://ludo.ch/en/toy-libraries/portrait/

>A toy library is a public space where anyone – of any age – can borrow a wide choice of toys and games. In the same way that a public library loans books, a toy library lends out all kinds of games, puzzles, toys, party equipment and much more. Toy libraries promote play as an active leisure pursuit, and they foster the sociocultural value of play. They enable families and children to try out new toys and games, to spend time playing together, and to avoid accumulating unused toys and games at home. Schools and institutions can also borrow games for use in class or on camp. Some toy libraries have dedicated play areas and tables where you can try out the games onsite. Most toy libraries organise events or workshops for children, teens, or adults.

Had a condom inside of me for three days

Avocado toast two ways.
I went to a concert with some co workers and ended up hooking up with one of them after. It was slightly awkward but basically fun. We went through two condoms. He left and I threw one away but couldn’t locate the other one-even after changing my sheets and taking the trash out. I just figured he must have tossed it or even somehow worn it out. It did occur to me for a split second that it could still be in me, but I thought surely I would feel it? Or would have noticed? I did feel some pressure in my belly the next day that I chalked up to normal cramps or the formation of a uti.
I had basically forgetten about it until a couple days later when I was taking my morning dump and felt something odd. Y’know when you poop with a tampon in and end up pushing it out? It felt like that. And then I thought, wtf, I wasn’t wearing a tampon. Well, I looked down and saw a condom in the toilet. I was kind of in shock and couldn’t decide whether to laugh or cry.
I’m taking precautions to avoid infections etc and am crossing my fingers I get my period soon. Was too embarrassed to tell my friends so thought I’d share with reddit.
Ps this was like the best breakfast I’ve had in weeks. Avocado+ egg and kimchi with kewpie mayo and japanese bbq sauce, and then one topped with tomato herb goat cheese and chili crisp. Highly recommend this breakfast but def don’t recommend shitting out a condom.

snail trail on my jeans??

just had my clothes outside to dry overnight and i came back to this abstract trail on them. we have tiny slugs around the house but i never saw them above ground, let alone climb up like that considering the jeans were not reaching the ground… any ideas? its shiny and it goes away pretty easily if you use your hand only
also they were clean when out of the washing machine

The bullies console Milhouse over his parents divorce ❤️

Sometimes it’s nice when everyone’s wholesome and the bullies show sympathy/ empathy. As far as I remember there’s no jokes at milhouses expense this episode either which is nice

Solving city violence: Young unemployed at-risk people in dangerous inner city slums should be conscripted into the armed forces, but paid twice as much as normal

Wouldn’t this solve inner city violence, and the cycle of poverty and perhaps lack of strong role models? This has nothing to do with race or even gender by the way please don’t mention that

Buyer bundled two large heavy items and I cancelled out of a gut feeling

So I’m selling some heavy items and someone just bought a bundle that I can’t accommodate due to weight and size. I felt so guilty cancelling but he was cool and rebought one of the two items so tbh I’m pretty happy he understood.

now I’m not sure what to do. Is there a way to disable bundles? Should I invest in boxes twice the size in case this happens again? This is a 50$ investment for something that I might need..

maybe I should have just walked into UPS and bought a box there instead of canceling…

what do you think?

Can I skip 992s or are they necessary?

My collector-brain is making me think I need a 992 but I already own 990s, 991s and 993s. would you say they’re necessary or skippable? My favorite nb shoes are my 990v6s and my 1000s so I definitely prefer a softer feel and I know the 992s have been described as stiff.

I will say I love the midsoles on them especially that plastic see-thru part
