He can probably figure out a lot on his own. And if he has friends who do it, they talk about it at school and learn from each other. I like the creativity that kids can find in Minecraft - mine both like to build worlds and start farms, and neither likes to play the mode with monsters much. But given the addictive nature of the game, we spend way too much energy setting limits and enforcing them. So if that sort of thing is an issue in your house you might want to save yourself the work.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

Thanks, flea, for that feedback. We have a Catch-22 screen time policy at the moment where the minute he asks for screen time he doesn't get any, but when I randomly notice it and remember and want a moment, I'll give him screen time un-solicited.

Yay for Grace! She have any opinions on it?
I listened to two 10 year oldish boys natter on about minecraft while watching the fireworks on the 4th. My brain kinda glazed over. But I happen to know that this is true of many conversational topics between kids that age.

She likes the speaking valve now. She's much louder with it on, which is nice. She'll need to wear it to school next year.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am pretty sure my hammock has magical mental healing powers. 10 minutes in and I no longer care my day was full of poo

Because books.
Hammocks are awesome.
I just took a lukewarm bath in the dark with the fan blowing, and had a Tinto (red wine and Fresca) and a cigarette and the Eagles on. It was heaven.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who the hell died and made me vegan? I got up to get some yoghurt and granola, and my stomach was very insistent on what it would not brook.
And this is after fruit salad for lunch.
(I'm not really vegan! I had milk *and* buttermilk in my porridge this morning! But I haven't had meat since Friday...THERE IS TASTY CHICKEN IN MY FRIDGE. COME BACK TO ME APPETITE. I FORGIVE YOU.)
