When I first saw the coin with the tiny sword, I didn’t know it was a modern piece, or who made it. It’s nice to see an attribution for Roman Booteen’s work – it is amazing and he should be known.
So me and my friends were out playing pokemon go and we had to literally stop the car and turn around because we may have found the fanciest McDonald’s I’ve ever seen in my life
A MANSION
And the inside is actually beautiful??????
Like there were live plants and I felt like I was walking into an upscale hotel??
It also had a second fancy entrance???
Not only that but there was like a secret upstairs that’s apparently open usually, but it was too late for us to go up too (I’m deffo gonna go back and check that out because come on)
Like what is she hiding
But yeah I think I found either the most cursed or fanciest McDonalds in America
Also!
It was a pokestop!
This is a rare example of when zoning is a good thing, because it forces the generic McDonalds to look like surrounding architecture
The female gaze can be completely inscrutable for men but here’s a quick and not-entirely-sensible diagram I drew while pooping to try and make my preferences clear:

This is so accurate. At school, we literally have children who will watch our facial expressions to see if them falling is as bad as they think it might be.
CORRECT CHILD INJURY PROCEDURE:
do not react. at the most, maybe wince and go “ooooh”
go over to the child to assess panic level and severity of injury
if they’re like, dying, remain calm, but they’re probably not.
look them in the eye and ask, “you okay?” they will nod. possibly all teary-eyed. then ask, “are we gonna need to cut it off?”
the child is thrown off. if they giggle, you’re in the money. if they do not, put a bandaid on and do some sympathetic patting. they are probably a little teary. let the sad little bug sit out for a minute. they will quickly get bored.
works every time
“sad little bug” is the cutest and most accurate term ive heard used to describe a child because sometimes bugs are kinda super cute sometimes bugs are really fucking annoying and sometimes bugs are downright TERRIFYING
My dad used “should we cut it off?” And it worked EVERY TIME.
This can also help you assess how bad the injury really is! If jokes and a calming tone to the situation don’t work, they might be more seriously hurt than usual.
When I worked at the day care I would ask the kid to count my fingers because had too many. The child, confused would count along with me as I obviously skipped a number. They would correct me, and we would try again, and by that time they totally forgot they were injured in the first place.
Not only does this work for minor injuries but I would also advocate this for major ones too. You stay calm, they stay calmer.
I have a scar on the back of my head from when I was a toddler. Mom and Dad told me about how I fell and hit my head and I was bleeding so bad. But they managed to get me to the hospital without any fuss or screaming by staying very calm and making sure I didn’t see the blood.
Parents not overly freaking out is SO important to a kid’s growing threat assessment skills.
