lemme.ee is shutting down at the end of this month.
The admin team is understaffed and suffering from burnout.
You still have a few days to gracefully transition your account to another Lemmy instance.
The fact that you care this much is a decent sign that you're doing great.
Your job right now is just to keep the kid alive and comfortable. Be present, be kind, and in time give him opportunities for enrichment. Make sure mom is doing well day-to-day. And don't forget to take care of yourself; you're no good to anyone if you're a wreck.
Don't hesitate to meet with a lactation consultant if breastfeeding isn't going smoothly. It can be a real struggle for mom and kid alike. And don't worry if you have to use a bottle or even switch to formula for some reason; your kid will be okay.
brrrt!

"Ow, my thumb!"
brrt!

I saw these in the wild, but couldn't get a pic without being a creep.
Yeah, know it's not a shirt. But someone else got away with the same thing two months ago, so I'm gonna take a chance. Mod, do what you feel is right in your heart.

“To The Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!” he added on Truth Social.
Fun fact #1: The department of energy does not control oil drilling. Sorry Donald, they can't unilaterally make it happen.
Fun fact #2: Not all oil is equal. Refineries are designed to process certain grades of oil into specific products, and different parts of the world have different grades. Refineries also often blend oils from different parts of the world to get the characteristics they need for their process.
Fun fact #3: Moving domestic petroleum products between the west coast and the rest of the US is an expensive pain in the ass. There is a distinct lack of pipelines, so you need to ship it through the Panama canal. But shipping is expensive thanks to the Jones Act. So California, Oregon, and Washington would get particularly screwed in a domestic-only oil market.
"Drill, baby, drill!" has always been an immensely stupid rallying cry, even if you don't care about the environment.
Also,
The internet has always been a collection of social media platforms: bulletin boards, Usenet, IRC, people hosting little personal sites and making contact with each other via email, etc. It got bad when big money arrived and brought in the general public. First is was platforms like AOL's chat rooms and forums, and later things like Facebook and Twitter. We are all living in eternal September now.
Exhibit A: this t-shirt from 1994
I found a library flyer that lays out the symbolism. Someone should add it to Wikipedia. Here's the short summary:
The star is for Texas, the last state in the Union (at the time) where the Emancipation Proclamation was enforced.
The nova/sunburst represents a new beginning for black Americans.
The colors match the red/white/blue of the American flag.
The arch where blue and red meet symbolizes a new horizon.
More recent flags include the date "June 19, 1865." (Visually, this is a terrible addition IMO.)

I suspect someone was just being an ass.
I suspect you are correct.
She might be dead
I'm posting a day late for Juneteenth. I did not know this flag existed until I saw it flying outside a local government office.
I took yesterday off work to hit a new spot! It was hot, dry, rugged, and awesome.
