@magicalmilly yeah i sorta figured they must have had a really terrible childhood to think institutionalization would have been preferable and since they didn’t seem open to discussion I just sorta left

But yeah handing a whole bunch of children over to the state for institutional care, historically ranged from ‘well i guess its technically better than some of the alternatives’ (eg. orphanages) to ‘objectively horrifying’

@netkitty *blinks back*

@magicalmilly i once had someone tell me that in their ideal society, all children were raised in institutions by the state

Because because the power dynamic parenting entails was inherently abusive of course (how the state mandated child rearers would avoid not just…also making rules and telling kids what to do for the purposes of keeping them fed, clean, educated, etc was not explained)

Something's got the crows in a tizzy today

@violet generally, yes

@twistylittlepassages yeah pinboard is p oldschool at this point which means its missing some more modern features but also its missing all the modern tracking & analytics

@Lady hmmm

@Lady but if it keeps moving you have to constantly adjust it

@Lady and no pins allowed

@Lady mhm

I do have some very large scarves though. I am committed to the scarf aesthetic

@Lady i have one twin sized blanket but i put it on roommates couch before i discovered i was allergic to roommates couch (i dont really use couches so it took me a while to discover this fact) and i don’t trust the washing machines here

Mostly tho everything is full sized which is v cozy but not very maneuverable
