✏ Rules

  1. DO NOT DOXX YOUR KIDS - Seriously, use an alt for this comm or keep it vague; otherwise we’re centralizing info about everyone’s kids into a single place that can be easily focused on.
  2. No jokes about dead kids - I don't care how much the romanovs deserved it, or how right John Brown was, save it for another comm.
  3. No antinatalism struggle sessions

Did some Trick or Treating with the kids tonight (hexbear.net)

It was fun! I swear though, I saw at least two different cars with their flashers on, flowing their kids as they trick or treated. This is a tight neighborhood, you can hit like 20 houses just going down two streets. One was a mini van and I overheard the adult driving tell their kid (the doors and trunk were open) "no you get out and walk".

I wanted to give the benefit of the doubt here, maybe the parent is disabled. But 10 minutes later I saw another car on a different street doing what looked like the same thing.

Maybe its just a fluke thing! First time I've seen that though.

How was everyone else night?

I know my parents used to do that when I was trick or treating, but we were in a rural area, and the evenings were quite cold! So we were rushing back into the car to get back to a heated place.

But then we would get to the village and they'd still do it. But not every house was decorated too.

But otherwise my night was great, I was working all evening for a party organized by the youth I work with and even though there were less people than last year, it sure was nice and cozy, I got to drive some of them home after the event - and feels like I'm doing something good for them.
