like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

In space, no one can hear you scream...

...when you step on a Lego brick. 🙃

I like this set that my kid just finished because the alien creatures look very alien. They're these little jellyfish dudes that emerge from flowers.

For those who don't have access to TikTok, the Ms. Rachel account shared a video of some Gazan children in a tent, sitting on the ground watching a Ms. Rachel video on a tablet. God bless her.

I've stopped caring. I need help. I'm going to go on a weird rant here, but it's how I talk when I'm super focused on something..like getting help. I'm going to try to cover as many faucets that I feel are broken as I can, so it's going to be long. I'm sorry.

I don't know when, but it's been a LONG time and it's affected my physically, mentally, emotionally. I know I have depression, I know I need to want to change. I know most of the psychiatrist things, well not true but I have a hard time siding with or following through with the..I don't know how to say it but like the feel good therapist talk? Follow this color wheel of emotion stuff kinda stuff..or write out your emotions in this diary.

I'm isolated, lonley, disconnected from everything, not eating, not drinking enough, vices are at an all time high, hygiene is non existent, house upkeep is basically non-existent, physical activity revolves around walking to the kitchen, basement/upstairs, to my office, and to bed where I spend more than 10+ hours laying there waiting for the day to be over so I can go to work as I enjoy it. I haven't seen my doctor in about 2 years or so and at that time I was prescribed some anti depression stuff, makes my heart explode. I need help. I don't know where to go, how to fix this or even see light on the other side.

I've made appointments with my doctor, but I always forget to go, or book the day off. Even with alarms and whatnot. I'm horrid with keeping scheduled things that aren't immediate. Doctor's visits are like 8 months+ before I get a date.

I've disconnected myself from everything. I try to communicate with my son, but he lives too far and I never seem him. I'm horrid at texting people in that if it's out of sight out of mind. I never just text and forget to text. If it's not constant communication, I forgot. If it's constant, I will be there and be a part. But once it gets quiet again, I ever check it. My mom, brothers, same thing. Friends, same thing. I don't buy/Subscribe/consume anything, literally nothing but food and stuff for my dog and cat. I'm like a hermit.

This part bugs me..I can go months without anyone so much as looking at me. It's like I don't exist. No calls or messages from friends, family (unless I didn't pay a bill or something). No birthdays, no one's said Merry Christmas to me or even happy new year yet. I get no acknowledgement from anyone unless they want something from me which I'll always do because I like doings things for others. No one acknowledges societal things with me and it hurts. A lot.

I have no energy. I sleep/lay down from about 6ish until 10pm, eat, then lay down. I get up periodically to put the dog out or take her to the park for offleash but that's it. I'm in bed or working. I'm on a steroid which is supposed to give me energy but yeah...doesn't do it (anymore)

I eat like trash. This obviously doesn't help. I will go 36 hours on coffee and bananas, then consume some fast food. I'm overweight but not crazy bad. 6ft235. I'm dehydrated from drinking a glass of water maybe...every week? Maybe 2. It's mostly coffee and milk.

I don't clean my house, I can't throw things away. I have a couch that's got destroyed cushions from dog as a puppy, it just sits there. I don't even use the thing. Never have. I can't throw it out. Not don't want to, just can't be bothered? Crap is everywhere in the house. And I use none of it. 2 computers, and a bed. That's what I use.

Trust issues. I don't trust. My trust has been broken so bad which I suspect is the reason I don't consume. I don't trust products, or companies claims. I assume they will just break and I'll be stuck buying to replace forever. I can't bring myself to buy things that I don't trust which is another reason why I haven't bought a couch or new clothes.

In short, I've completely checked out from life and society as a whole, and Ive upset myself to the point where negative intrusive thoughts towards myself enter my head. I wouldn't ever act upon them, I'm more logical then that but they exist unwilling and I want them to stop. I need help, if anyone would be so kind as to point me in the right direction?

(I would have posted this in the seeking help or asklemmy sub but I was banned for something or other. Probably a bad day on my part. Regardless..step 1)

We have a rather unique Christmas tradition in our family. Some people like to get those gingerbread house kits and decorate them. We like to decorate them and then turn them into a cookie catastrophe. We call them "gingerbread crime scenes" but they're really more along the lines of Shrek meets Apocalypse Now.

It's something we started doing when our oldest child was probably 10 years old so she wouldn't feel bad about accidentally wrecking her gingerbread house. It just became an annual tradition after that and we have a lot of fun doing it. They actually seem to get more creative every year.

This years episode is "Gummy Bears vs. Peanut Butter Perps" (the 'ginger bread men' are actually peanut butter cookies).

My 5 yo daughter officially loves graphic design! The app description says it's for children, but I had a blast playing with it too. The effects are really cool, and the sounds panning with the cursor is a nice touch.

Hope this is allowed

But the most unrealistic thing on the show is the 1-to-4 teacher/student ratio.

My 7 month son got croup and has been in an out of the ER twice this week. Its currently midnight and is getting another nebulizer dose before we get moved to a room. Hes doing better but its been rough. We are gonna be here at least another day for observation this time which is way better than getting sent home again to see how he does. Here's hoping he kicks its ass and gets over this quick. It sucks seeing my little guy sick like this.

Edit: he's doing a lot better today. They were doing the nebulizer every two hours and its been almost 7 without it now. Fingers crossed we are over the hump. Thanks for the support y'all.

"Pikachu? Nooooo!!!"

I went to a kid's birthday party yesterday and his dad hit it out of the park with this homemade Pikachu cake. The photo shows it mostly carved and served, but it was two-tiered, with a red and white poke ball bottom. Also not shown are the fondant ears. It was delicious, too.
