Wow. A clock that listens to Chicago.
He just needs better marketing. This should be an art installation. Tracy Emin’s bed went for $3 million, The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living went for a rumored $12 million.
Well, the illustration of the product has Acts Not Facts right on the tin.
If not, the burritos will certainly gut you.
The sad thing is that it’s most of the way toward its goal after only a couple of days so it’s almost surely going to be funded.
Eh, that’s nothing. I’m useless for lots of purposes.
Fragile “adults”,
emphasis mine
Steps need to be taken to protect these people from their children.
One must wonder if Jennifer Pippin believes a book that contains the following passage might be “harmful to minors”?
She lusted after lovers with genitals as large as a donkey’s and emissions like those of a horse.
'Course wondering such things is the road to madness.
Next up: castration of children to prevent parents from having to view naked genitalia of minors.
I truly believe those individuals who submit the Bible for inclusion on banned books lists in those jurisdictions which have such lists are doing the Lord’s work. Y(^o^)/
The book’s page (in the link) “Come back here. David!” in my household could well be captioned “Come back here, James!”
His favorite clothing is nudity. When he was just three, and worked out how to undress himself, he would sneak off and reappear, shouting what was obvious to all “I’M NAKED!!!”
I don’t think seeing a penis in a kid’s book is a big deal, Moms for Liberty.
ETA: i wonder how many “Moms” there are in Moms for Liberty? Certainly not many with experience with parenting young boys.
Oh come TF on. I was 4 years old when mom was changing my baby sister and I asked about what I saw and she just stated as a plain truthful matter of fact, “girls don’t have one” … and that was it and done, ignorance fought, piece of information recorded. This has been part of parenting for thousands of years.
Jesus fucking wept.
Your mother gave you information. The quote you are responding to is literally, “The parent wouldn’t be able to discuss this with the child.” So…you agree then? Otherwise I’m not sure what your point is.
I think you may have misread @JRDelirious
Their point was, you don’t even really need to discuss this with the child. Boys have a penis. Girls do not. It is that simple. You tell them that fact once, and soon they start identifying dogs and horses and other random animals by their sex.
I was recently viewing two tortoises making tortoise love with my two children, aged 8 and 6. Both of them knew what was happening, all of their questions were about the mechanics of “how” due to the shell, rather than “what”. They knew the gentleman tortoise wanted to make little eggs, just not sure how it worked.
I am proud of that upbringing. I can’t really read your post without a sense that you would disagree with me.
There’s a sentence in there that would benefit from some rewording.
I guess everyone has to learn someday.
For me it was a manatee at age 9 and she was very gentle.
Exactly. The person quoted seems to be taking a wild leap forward assuming that a 5yo merely seeing an anatomically correct illustration of a little boy will require the parent to provide a whole course in human gender studies. When all it means is “that’s what boys look like”. They are afraid the child will then ask “but why…” and they’ll be unprepared. Which as a parent they should not be. But then, they don’t want the school to explain it to them, either!
Notice: mom did not proceed to explain to 4yo me all that this implied, just that that is a way boys and girls are shaped different. For 4yo me that was enough and “the rest” was discussed years later.
Then you misread the concern. Just going from the quoted bit, the concern is not being there to provide context.
The book in question shows a little boy completely naked for multiple pages with his penis hanging out for all the world to see. I think somebody objecting to such a thing being available in a school library is at worst harmless. There is no positive good to be had by this book being there. It’s not an anatomy textbook or even an exploration of human sexuality. It purely gratuitous.
You misspelled grooming manuals.
I mean, really. This is nonsense. Do you have children? They don’t really give a fuck about nudity until they reach primary school and get told by their teachers not to take off their clothes. It is meaningless to them.
And even then, they are totally fine with being nude at home, eg, in the bath. or in bed or just running around the house because they are testing their parent’s patience with getting them dressed.
