Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community?
  • Costume Quest and Costume Quest 2 would be something you could play together. The player character is the twin of your choice, a girl or a boy, on a mission to save their sibling. You would have to read it to her and probably solve the puzzles, but she would be able to do the fights once you got going since it is turn based. It's very kid friendly.

  • Mitch McConnell escorted away from cameras after freezing during a news conference
  • We have about 25 years worth of experiments with it in various states, so it's been well studied. Legislating is a skill that needs to be developed, just like anything else, and a bunch of term-limited newbies have no incentive to do anything except get ready for the next thing, which only enhances the possiblity of corruption.

  • None of that has happened in the states that have term limits. If you think Republicans, no matter how long they have been in office, are going to start putting anyone other than Federalist Society drones on the courts, I'm not sure I can have a good faith argument with you.

  • Mitch McConnell escorted away from cameras after freezing during a news conference
  • Term limits empower lobbyists and career staffers and encourage legislators to give less of a shit about their constituents. I know "career politician" is often considered a dirty word, but having competent, knowledgeable elected officials is a good thing.

    You are baby
  • I had a cat like that. She was 100% stupid baby at all times. I tried on a fabric baby carrier/wrap and put her in it to see how it worked before my first human baby was born, and she was completely content in it.

  • My butterfly weeds were crawling with different bees this morning.

    I made this for my 4 year old
  • Yes, he was too little to understand he was missing out when I started, so my older kids got some of my first efforts. He borrowed my very first one while I worked on his once he realized he was the only kid without one.

    The pattern is called Gigi Square by QuiltCakes.

    There is a melanistic groundhog living in my yard

    It's not a great picture, but he ran when I tried opening the door.

    The birthday cake my youngest requested

    I used recipes from Rose Levy Beranbaum's Cake Bible. The cake is her classic chocolate butter cake, baked in three 6 inch pans rather than two 9 inch pans, then cut in half. The frosting is her chocolate silk meringue with 3 egg whites rather than 2. I eliminated the water and heated the egg white and sugar slurry over simmering water after I failed twice to get sugar syrup into my stand mixer at her suggested temperature.

    He lost a fight with a paper bag and hid in the basement ceiling

    I was able to take the piece with the handle that was still around his neck off so he could come out with some dignity.
