✏ Rules
- 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.
- 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.
- No antinatalism struggle sessions

We've been talking about emergency preparedness in the matrix chat. With all the different phones and lack of a land line, have you thought about how to teach your kids to dial 911 in an emergency?
Yesterday I tested the kids, it took my 4 yo about 5 minutes to roll me over on the floor and pull my phone out of the pocket I was laying on. Not bad.
I've been thinking about this since it came up. Mobiles would be too hard to teach my kids at this stage and it's not like we're going to pay for a landline every month just in case. I wish I could get some VOIP handset that could just sit near the modem plugged in
