Well it was worth it.

Really miss those adventurous days.

My favorite was when M came home super proud and excited:
- Today I climbed the bana

Repeatedly, with her adorable, Ghanaian English accent that sounded more Jamaican than Ghanaian.

Little did we know that there was a climbing "wall" in their preschool yard with different fruits shaped handles for kids to climb (it is 1m high, which was higher than she was back then).

Really wish I had her recorded.

"Why is this important?

Child support debt, according to Vicki Turetsky & Maureen R Waller,
1.) can take a large personal toll with implications for employment, health, family life, and civic participation,

Additionally, according to a study conducted by the Urban Institute, relieving child support debt turned around this challenging situation, putting most fathers on a more constructive, productive path toward improved financial stability and well-being that allowed them to better support their children both financially and emotionally. By erasing child support debt owed to the government, parents will be free to concentrate on creating lives for themselves and their children, while simultaneously stimulating the economy,

Would you ever want to be pregnant - if you could?

A nonbinary person made a short survey around pregnancy, just out of personal interest: https://cassolotl.tumblr.com/post/663601906120261632

A first mini-survey they did was quite surprising - there were many cis-woman who wished they could not get pregnant at all. In fact, the percentage of people who would like to have the ability to get pregnant was quite low, and similar for cis-men and cis-women.
