(part 2 of 2)

I've only ever encountered one parent who rejected me and didn't want me around their kid, and it was only because they didn't want to answer the kid's questions.

This person's kid did not attend the same school as my daughter and the incident wasn't related to that teacher. This parent was just a b**** that I thought was my friend. She hadn't minded me until her kid found out I was trans, and then she started being a jerk.

Lost opportunities...sad

@Sparrow

I was worried that parents would get upset because parents, as a whole, do tend to be slightly more conservative than single people. I was glad it worked out well but it was a big chance that I would not likely take.

Still, once it was done and the kids were fine... I guess there was no taking it back, and glad none of the parents handled it poorly.

I see AWOOs within AWOOs

@Sparrow

just jumping in before I forget to say this...

My daughter's kindergarten teacher outed me to the entire class of kiddos without my awareness or permission... and it kinda bothered me initially. Thankfully, none of the kids cared and neither did the parents. I had expected concerns but it actually brought some parents to talk to me more.

Some of the kids had questions but they were all friendly.

Kids handle things so well sometimes.

@Mycroft

Time always is the issue, whether far or near.

Sometimes it's a PITA to be a grown-up. 😉​

@Sparrow

Nah, we didn't buy anything. We're being conservative with funds right now, until we are caught up.

Also, Sara has all the roms for games so not much need.

This area changes every few years so it's good to look around. I have seen quite a few places this week that I didn't know existed because I'm always driving instead of walking. Our nighttime walks have proven quite enlightening

@Sparrow

Most of the things I wish I'd learned in Elementary school probably weren't comprehensible at those ages... but knowing that gender isn't a binary and that it's okay to be different from what people expect of me would have been nice to know.

Probably not the school's job but it's certainly the right time in life.

Also: talking to people directly. So many now can't communicate in person for one reason or another and it hinders their social progress.

@Mycroft

I sometimes wish the people I knew could all be in one city so that gatherings and games could occur. It's too often the people we like most are far away

@Leucrotta

Dune quotes... is there a connection?

The AWOOer must awaken

@vahnj

goodnight, sweet prince

@ticky

That's gonna be a hell of a fare...

The slow AWOO penetrates the shield

@Sparrow

Heh, nothing so advanced.

After having lunch, we wandered to a nearby game store for a while. Then, on the way to a comic/tabletop game store, we passed the art gallery and decided to go in. I enjoyed it a lot!

I'm discovering my neighborhood again and it's cool!

@Mycroft

Ohhh, that pic!

Heh, sorry... I didn't realize. I was thinking about the other art I posted.

I've never seen that art before but I knew it deserved an AWOO

Tentacles can be art, too https://awoo.space/media/rXP8ilEa1JmMm4Q7cFo

@Sparrow Nope. It was Art on 5th here in Austin. A bunch of paintings of Theodor Seuss Geisel and some Muppet Show stuff, too, were on display. It was pretty cool.

They had other cool things, too... this was just a small sampling.

We had a lot of fun today, the three of us, just being goofy bums

Awoo! https://awoo.space/media/e8H6Yr5kEt_ClUJvW8c

Enjoyed a day out with the kiddos

You can't handle the truth!
