this motherfucker did it and he didn't even let me anxiety-spiral he just picked up the broom and started sweeping and that gave me enough activation energy to jump in and now the house is at tolerable levels again 🥲❤

guys i appreciate it but i legitimately don't think this should be such a big deal! i kinda feel like this should be a normal friendly / neighborly thing to do, esp. for a bum like me with no dayjob 😅

it's still nice to celebrate some ordinary object-level neighborliness in this otherwise so very online realm!

the object-level is when qc levels all of those stacks of objects cluttering up the moonbot household

The volume of praise is mostly a function of the fact that you and the other main-character accounts involved have tens of thousands of collective followers.

it should be but it is not. even pre pandemic, this happened maybe twice for us. raising kids is hard in this culture and I'm all for celebrating changes that make things better

I can't help but think about all of your inner work which is amazing and insightful, but to put it in

i don't know a ton of people with kids but this is the first time i've heard of something like this happening and legit cant imagine people just being like "o u have a problem? let me simply show up to help!!" so imo u deserve all the praise

Yeah but OTOH few people would acknowledge they actually need help and accept people doing it. I've already told my BFF whose wife is pregnant that I could legally WFH from a second home & I could ask it to be his in order to help him when baby will be here. He's OK with it AFAK
