What's a babysitter in the agere community and what tips can they use.?
Tumblr media
A babysitter in agere is a type of caregiver who babysit regressors, and they are generally a lot like "regular" babysitters.
They might look after the regressor while their caregiver is away or busy, assist caregivers who sometimes need help taking care of their little one, or care for regressors who don't have a cg. It is possible to be a babysitter for more than one regressor, and some babysitters also look after multiple at once.
In a lot of cases, the babysitter will act as a secondary caregiver for the regressor.
Since babysitters are a subtype of caregivers, they will be able to use a lot of the same tips. Here are some posts that might be useful to babysitters (and caregivers in general):

Hey so since the incident with skids I separated Galvatron from the rest. But my newest adoptee, Twitch, (she’s a Terran, which I think are rare) found her way over to him, Galvatron took a liking to her and now Galvatron’s. Giving her piggyback rides.
The thing is I’m concerned about is that Galvatron will be a bad influence on her.
Oh yeah, and is this cute?
oh a terran!! A lovely little bot... Good to hear Skids is ok. And I will say this looks fine, cybertronus terran are incredibly endearing to most bots as well. Every current known member of the species is very young! And it shows, this often leads to older bots taking on a guardian role to some degree.
Of course there are exceptions, and Galvatron should not be their only mentor figure- terrans are extremely impressionable.

Hi! I love your blog! I was wondering if you can help me..
Today I found a family of Calico Critters bunnies at the flea market. they are in pretty bad shape and I'm currently cleaning them. However, some of them have loose joints and I'm not sure how to fix them. Do you have any suggestions? Btw, I'm using your tutorial for the cleaning and they are great!
Also, I'm not even sure I managed to identify them. They are from a cheap playline for sure, at first I thought they were Sunny Rabbits but then I realised their clothes are different. The family consists of a Father wearing a blue overall, a Mother with a white, flowery dress and a Sister wearing a a white dress with blue flowers. There was no baby with them but perhaps it got lost? The color is the same of the Sunny Rabbit Family.
Do you have any idea where they are from?
Many thanks in advance!
aww thank you friend!! this makes me so happy <3 as for the joints, I'm unsure as I've never attempted myself! I do know that the joints look like this : reddit link: instead of a ball joint or peg kind like most action figures or dolls. So typically they're loose because the plastic has worn down. You could potentially take off the loose limb to inspect and see if you could maybe build up any worn down parts in hopes of tightening it...beyond super glue that would keep it completely stiff I'm really unsure! There is a forum and several facebook groups & reddit I could link you to if you'd like to ask there, or I could ask for you :) Or maybe someone on here knows as well! <3 Do you have a picture of the rabbits? The clothes I'm thinking belong to someone else as it's not ringing any bells for rabbit families. Here are my Sunny Rabbits: There is a few other figures like the father and crawling baby that I dont have. But Sunny Rabbits, since they are "easy buy" line, are more monochrome than the usual families. you can see they dont have colored noses like most of the rabbit families do, but can be hard to tell if youve got super worn figures too as the extra colors tend to wear first.

seeing a lot of videos that are like “I didn’t know babies couldn’t have water” so here’s an incomplete list of things you need to know before having a baby
- the obvious, they can’t have water bc milk is incredibly high in water already so excess water leads to over hydration
- babies cannot have honey until 1
- if ur breastfeeding your kid and saving excess milk, make sure you label what you pumped in the morning vs at night bc your body produces different melatonin levels throughout the day and giving your baby daytime milk at night can make them more alert and fuck up their sleep schedule
- idk why ppl keep saying this but swaddling your babies or getting them those baby straight jacket things is not abuse. It chills them out cuz it reminds them of the womb
- babies have a dandruff like buildup on their head called cradle cap, and it’s very easy to deal with and remove with just some baby shampoo, a gentle scrub brush (MADE FOR BABIES!!) and a comb. It does need to be removed tho cuz it can be very painful after a while. This can also continue to happen late into toddlerhood it’s normal
- you have to clean out the creases of your baby’s skin and hands and feet they WILL collect dust😭😭
- you cannot bathe your baby until their umbilical cord naturally falls off. Use a warm damp rag until then
- tummy time is actually very important
- your baby might have a misshapen head at first (not all the time but sometimes) this will either sort itself out or they’ll need a corrective helmet ask your doctor
- I wouldn’t recommend having your baby leave the house very much until they’re at least 6 months old, especially if they’re born near cold and flu season cuz the common cold can kill a newborn
- you’re not an awful horrible person for having postpartum depression and it’s always a million times better to let your baby cry a few minutes longer than normal while you regain your composure than to freak out and give ur kid shaken baby syndrome
- you’re not an awful horrible person for giving your baby formula milk either
- don’t put shoes on your baby it’ll compromise their toe box and balance
- babies put every single thing in their mouths
- the easiest way to burp a baby is to hold them straight up (spine straight) and hold their head a bit higher
- always support their head they barely have necks
- if your baby fights away food, fights tummy time, vomits every single time you burp them, is gaining or losing an unreasonable amount of weight at a time, wheezes after eating, or goes red after eating, chances are they’re probably allergic to the type of milk they’re eating (again ask a doctor but these are just some signs it’s not just colic)
- they will wobble a lot when learning to do things but you gotta fight the urge to help them every single time cuz they gotta learn
- they’re not always spitting out baby food cuz they don’t like it they just don’t know how to eat. Like they don’t know how to push food down they only know how to stick their tongue out so be patient
- babies craniums are broken up into three parts at first that later fuse together, this is to help make birthing easier but it results in a small EXTREMELY sensitive spot in the top of their head that has no protection. This puts their brain at a high risk. Always protect their soft spot
- read to your baby!! Get cute bright colorful sensory books with sight words and read them to your baby it makes such a huge difference in their educational growth and will help them acquire a love for reading early on. And talk to them never shut up just say whatever comes to mind all the time this will strengthen their vocabulary growth also.
- babies poop like a lot. A lot. an unreasonable amount. Bring back up clothes and more diapers than you think
- no pillows or stuffies in the crib and only use a muslin blanket unless it’s especially cold to prevent suffocation
- babies kick reflexively until they’re out of their newborn scrunch (they stay womb shaped for a while) and if your baby is crying and pushing at the swaddle try letting them flail around for a minute
- consoling your baby is not spoiling them ! They need comfort and they will learn to self soothe on their own
- singing lullabies actually works, they can recognize your voice a consistent place of comfort from the womb and the cadence of lullabies is literally engineered to create a calm headspace
- for the love of god do not get boring ass beige toys. Colors are important for their neurological development
- babies are very responsive to praise from a young age so be as supportive of them as you can
- babies get constipated a lot and you have to do like tummy massages to help ease their pain the easiest way is to lay them on their backs and hold one foot in each hand, kick their feet like bicycles, scrunch up, and then stretch their legs out
- holding them on your hip too much will not cause bow legged-ness if your baby is bow legged that was always gonna happen
- they drool so so much and you have to get bibs for them so they don’t get chest eczema
- don’t use scented products on their skin cuz their skin is sooo much thinner than ours
- when your baby first starts sitting on their own never walk away from them without setting up a nest of pillows and blankets around them. Even minor head trauma can mess them up sometimes
- this one is kinda morbid and scary but sometimes babies just die out of nowhere and it’s no one’s fault or anything it’s called sudden infantile death syndrome(SIDS) and it’s about 1.3k deaths on average per year in America so not super common but still very real. 90% of these deaths happen during the first four months however edit: apparently it’s bc of an enzyme deficiency which at the very least you can take steps to try and prevent
- smoking and drinking during pregnancy WILL affect your baby and your breast milk and also might contribute to SIDS cases
- babies sometimes have a big red mark on them somewhere called a stork bite immediately after birth but typically it goes away
- babies can’t see very well for a while after birth and they’re VERY wobbly so they’ll typically bonk their head into your chest and face a lot while trying to support themselves
- female babies might have smth similar to a period the first few days after birth, this is because of the hormone transfer that happens during the birthing process and the days leading up to it
- male babies get random erections for the first few days after birth(hormone transfer again) literally do not be weird about this it’s a baby
- things like weaning your baby onto solid foods, potty training, weaning off pacifiers etc, can actually be directed by the baby and will happen naturally will minimal guidance from the parent(some guidance is still necessary) although I would do individual research into baby led weaning for food to prevent choking
- get those chewy feeding pouches to help with weaning
- the most random things will scare the hell out of your baby don’t take it personal 😭
- baby carriers are life savers (tulas are one of my favorites)
- once babies hit toddlerhood they’re tougher than you think, and a lot of their reaction is based on YOURS. they’re always going to be looking to you for how to react to a situation. Remain calm and if they’re ok they’ll calm down but if they’re genuinely hurt they’ll keep crying
- babies will most likely get ridiculously attached to an inanimate object and you have to keep this thing intact at all costs until they’re old enough to abandon it or they will throw a FIT. I got a lemur plushie from a zoo once and every single one of the kids has bonded their soul with it until about 6 years old and once a month I have to stitch him back up
- don’t compare yourself to other parents. Maybe your kid isnt getting grass fed wild caught north Atlantic cheerios but at least they’re fed. If your kid is alive and healthy and happy you’re doing a good job
- you will need 3 car seats, an infant seat, a grow with me toddler seat, and a booster seat
- getting a good diaper bag is a MUST
- the hair a baby is born with will most likely all fall out or they’ll get a bald spot on the back of their head where they sleep cuz their hair is so fragile and thin but once it grows back it grows back thick
- get like 20 muslin blankets so you always have a backup when the main ones are covered in spit up
- the babies grip IS stronger than yours (keep your hair up and keep pets away best you can)
- your best bet for your teething baby is a pacifier you can put your finger in so you can massage their gums and some chewing toys numbing cream can be dangerous and should be used sparingly
- go ahead and come to terms with the fact you’re gonna have to use a Frida Baby to manually remove snot
- babies can get hair and thread wrapped around their toes and fingers that can cut off their circulation try to make a habit of checking
- don’t hit your kid please it’s nothing but trauma and fucked up coping mechanisms from there pls empathize with your child they’re a person too
- be careful not to pull too hard on their arms and legs(like during play or holding their hand while they walk) and NEVER pick them up by their hands this will very easily cause dislocation
- they might have a little tooth like callous on their lip from their pacifier. This does not hurt them and it will go away but it may hurt during breastfeeding
- breastfeeding will make your boobs different sizes
Yeag that’s all I can think of rn but yk i Will add as I remember stuff ppl are also adding things I forgot in the tags in case you’d like to look thru that as well <3

shout out to when i told my dad about goncharov and he figured out it was fake because i told him "1973 martin scorsese film with robert de niro" and he said that wasn't possible because the godfather came out in 1972 and the godfather part II came out in 1974 and they wouldn't have had time to make a movie in between. a perfectly good jest, foiled by this man's weird and vast knowledge set

*takes your face gently in my hands and looks sincerely into your eyes* listen. your home does not need to look like a showroom. homes are meant to be lived in, and that means a certain amount of mess. it's okay if there is clutter on your desk or if you don't remember the last time you cleaned your oven. mess is morally neutral. but at the same time, you deserve to live in an environment that is safe and comfortable, and that means someone has to clean sometimes. things like mold, spoiled food, and dirty litter boxes are genuine health hazards and need to be dealt with before they make someone sick. think of cleaning less as "my home needs to be completely spotless" and more as "I am an animal and I need a habitat that is free of hazardous material." it's okay. *kisses you on the forehead and tucks you into a blanket*
(and of course it is always acceptable and even good for you to ask someone else to help you with cleaning if it's physically or mentally difficult for you. even if you're paying them to do it.)

I recently got an Insecticon, hes playful and great so far but he keeps trying to eat my leftovers. Is this safe?
Insecticons are the omnivores of Cybertron, having systems specifically made to break down scrap metal and harsher materials other Cybertronians usually do not consume. Organic leftovers are akin to sweet treats; not a lot of nutritional value, but taste great AND make your bots happy. A little bit of leftovers can go a long way for helping the systems of your insecticon simulate breaking down other materials, so I'd say yes, your Insecticons can have a little leftovers. As a treat.

real 'glow up' advice i wish i had
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Imagine getting to the point in life where YOU are your own vision board; where you are that girl who has the life that you want, and you don't have to seek it out through other people. That should be the ultimate goal.
Here are subtle things that you should be doing to channel your ideal person and improve yourself for the better FROM THE INSIDE
take care of your hygiene: brush your teeth every day, wash your face with soap, wash your hair, take meaningful showers
be kind to yourself: speak nicely to yourself, treat yourself every now and then, love yourself exactly the way you came
make the effort: do your hair and wear something cute, even if you're only going to the supermarket. I bet your ideal self looks stunning wherever she goes, so make that effort if you really want to become her
move your body: dance to some music for just 5 minutes, take a walk, get off the bus a (reasonable) few stops earlier and walk the rest of the way
romanticise the hell out of your life: wear those bows, create that vision board, play that aesthetic background music even if you're just washing the dishes, wear that outfit!!!!!
admire yourself: look at yourself in the mirror and remember what you look like, take a million selfies to look back and smile at, give yourself a compliment every time you pass your reflection
get creative: if you want cute decor, make it! if you want cute clothes, find some easy DIYs!
focus on what you can control: if you cannot change the situation, let it resolve itself. don't waste your precious time obsessing over something you cannot change
get to know yourself (again): rediscover your hobbies, try new activities, learn to appreciate your solitude, get out of your shell
I really wish I was part of a community like this when I was going through a really insecure and lonely phase of my life.
Instead of deciding to wake up a 3am every day from now on, and trying to reach 20k steps every day, start small and walk your way up to greatness!

Tried to tip a tumblr blog at 1am and it was such a suspicious transaction it immediately put a full fraud freeze on my account
Fortunately, banks no longer just ask 'did you make that transaction' they want to make sure you weren't scammed into making that transaction and 5mins after their call will give away all your money anyway.
This is an honest to goodness life saving movement and I cannot be happier banks are adopting it
Unfortunately, it meant I had to have the most embarrassing financial call of my life
-
Me: Ah yeah I was just trying to tip a tumblr blog
Cash: right and were you directed there by a Facebook link? An Instagram advert?
Me: no I was just on tumblr...on purpose
-
Caah: and this person asked you for money?
Me: oh no they just had a funny story, which happened to be about money and I thought, "wouldn't it be funny if I tipped them"
-
Me: * covering a reblog by reblog update on the adventures my mutual was having *
Cash: okay I don't think that can actually happen though..
Me: It might not have, but i was happy to tip them just because it was funny
-
Cash: and how well do you think you know this person?
Me: *considers explaining how much I know about a beloved mutual without ever knowing their name or face* ... I have no idea who this person is
I think in the end Cash decided there was no saving me from myself

Python Snake | Characteristics, 10 Types, Prices, Facts, Care Tips
Tumblr media
Python snakes, known for their striking beauty and captivating presence, are a subject of fascination for reptile enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. In this guide, we delve into the world of python snakes, uncovering their diverse species, behaviours, and care requirements. Whether you’re a seasoned enthusiast or considering a python as a pet, this guide offers valuable insights into their history, habits, and responsible ownership, allowing you to appreciate these magnificent reptiles to the fullest.
Python Snake
When we think of the word “Python,” our minds might immediately jump to the world of coding and programming. However, there’s another kind of Python that has captured the fascination of nature enthusiasts for centuries — the python snake. In this article, we’ll delve into the intriguing world of these remarkable constrictors, uncovering their habits, habitats, and unique traits that make them stand out in the animal kingdom.
The Diversity of Pythons:
Pythons belong to a family of non-venomous snakes found in diverse regions across the globe. From the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia to the arid landscapes of Africa and Australia, these snakes have adapted to a variety of environments. With over 40 species identified, each python exhibits distinctive patterns and colouration that help them blend seamlessly into their surroundings, making them a true marvel of evolution.
Size Matters:
One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of pythons is their remarkable size. Ranging from the relatively small pygmy python, which measures around 2 feet in length, to the colossal reticulated python, stretching up to 30 feet, these serpents showcase an astonishing spectrum of sizes. The reticulated python, in particular, holds the title for the world’s longest snake, captivating both researchers and snake enthusiasts alike.
Hunting Techniques:
Pythons are known for their constricting hunting technique. Unlike venomous snakes that rely on toxic bites, pythons overpower their prey by coiling their muscular bodies around them. This suffocates the prey, allowing the snake to consume it whole. This unique hunting style not only showcases their remarkable strength but also emphasizes their role as apex predators within their ecosystems.
Parental Care:
In a surprising twist, some python species exhibit dedicated maternal care — a behaviour not commonly associated with reptiles. After laying their eggs, female pythons incubate and guard them diligently. Once the eggs hatch, the mother remains close by to protect her offspring until they are capable of fending for themselves. This nurturing behaviour sets pythons apart and highlights their complex social dynamics.
Conservation and Threats:
Despite their awe-inspiring presence, many python species face threats due to habitat loss, illegal pet trade, and even hunting for their skins. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure the survival of these magnificent creatures and maintain the balance of their respective ecosystems.
