At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.

A Sims Online Survey 

I would love it if you could take this survey and help me with my intro to anthropology final as I look into the online sim community and its culture. It’s an anonymous survey, and most personal questions are either optional or have a ‘prefer not to answer’ and ‘other’ options. 

Thank you for your time~

Simmers Save The Bees - Earth Day 2019

Bees are an essential part of our ecosystem and due to habitat loss, widespread use of pesticides and destructive hive diseases, they’re dying off at a rapid pace. 

This Earth Day (April 22nd), I wanted to share a cause close to my heart with the simming community and make it a goal to raise awareness.

So what can you as a simmer do to help?

- help me raise awareness by reblogging this post and others like it and by using the tag #simmerssavethebees on tumblr, instagram, and twitter.

- cc creators: consider releasing special bee-themed cc and/or by donating a portion of your income earned through paetron, adfly, etc to a bee conservation charity - or better yet, a local beekeeping organization in your area! If you’re interested in contributing cc - please let me know and I’ll add a link to your blog on a master page/post! I also have a little logo I’ll be using on my own cc that I’d bee happy to share!

- builders: create and release special “bee friendly” gardens, community lots, houses, etc! Make sure to use the #simmerssavethebees on the sims 4 gallery too!

- twitch/youtubers: consider hosting a charity stream on your channel and donate the proceeds to a bee conservation charity, or even better- a local beekeeping organization!

- Can’t do any of those things? That’s okay! Consider spending your Earth Day planting a small bee garden or make a simple bee bath for your garden (ever seen bees bathing? IT’S SO FREAKING CUTE!) Want to help in an easy and free way? Consider signing this petition organized by greenpeace to ban bee-killing pesticides in the agricultural industry.

For more information on how to help - Earth Day Network (Bees Campaign)

See below the cut for a short list of bee conservation charities and organizations dedicated to saving our bees!

~at dinner that night~

Nathaniel: So I have a question for you all... and it is life changing

Vanessa: What is it Nathaniel?

Nathaniel: Kaylie I want you to know you’re apart of this decision too... I’ve already talked to Amelia and Koen about this...

Kaylie: Dad spit it out whatever it is I’m sure it’s fine...

[simslifestyles]

Nathaniel: Hello?

Nathaniel: I understand...

Nathaniel: Want me to come down to the station now?

Nathaniel: Oh no...

Nathaniel: No no I understand... let me talk it over with the family... I’m sure we can make it work...

Nathaniel: Ah yes I’ll let you know soon..

Nathaniel: Talk to you soon... bye

[simslifestyles]

Vanessa cries when she thinks about Kaylie leaving and it just being her and Nathaniel... but at least they have each other....

[simslifestyles]

Nathaniel reading a book for work. He’s such a dad especially since I made him over when he moved

[simslifestyles]

Kaylie got an A on her science project!

[simslifestyles]

But atleast at the end of the day she gets a good story.

[simslifestyles]

Vanessa job as a reporter is super shady...

[simslifestyles]

Nathaniel also got a new ride when they moved. They had some extra funds because they downsized....

Welcome to Lucky Palms

(By far my favorite store world ever since sims3symbiote’s runaway teen challenge)

[simslifestyles]

And with that we move on to Nathaniel and Vanessa’s household who after Koen moved out moved to Lucky Palms to allow for Kaylie to go to an esteemed private school, that mainly produced doctors and scientists, who had accepted her.

Widget is ready to go home...

Koen: EAT WATER!

It would have been perfect if he had proposed but....
