I cannot believe @FenwayHealth is closing @Shopboomerangs locations. Huge betrayal of community here! Better believe it’s not going down without massive amplification of tearing away an amazing resource and meeting space in JP! Shame!!!!

@prntgdcolonized Also, “soft parenting” is a silly assertion. I’m not a soft parent. I actually expect quite a bit from my kids, but I expect things that are developmentally appropriate and I don’t use punitive measures to help them achieve those goals. There are consequences, but natural ones.
