#PlayStructure
this kid has waited his entire life to be allowed on the big playstructure

"Awww," people coo as they pass, some laughing, but most trying not to react or encourage your behavior.

Much to your caretaker's chagrin, you stay utterly aloof to spectators, continuing to hump your diaper against the playstructure mascot statue, straining against your child-harness.
This year for my #Locktober micro story series I will be doing a "word of the day"

Day 10- Word of the Day is "awww" from @coddledcutie.bsky.social

Comment below with your suggestion for day 11. I'll pick my favorite.

(One word only)

The dude looked at those pictures of Berlin in the middle of Hitler's reign and thought "now *that* is real classy!"

Poor DC. Given any luck the next regime will have the ovaries needed to make it into a state and it will no longer be a despot's playstructure.

the daycare center/preschool my daughter attended in NYC has a wall around it and its yard that is, I'm guessing, at least 8 feet tall. you can't see the kids from the outside, except maybe on the top of the biggest playstructure but that's it.

Playstructure is the gender neutral term

ugh, I wish interdimensional portals through time and space were a thing; I'd hire your friend to help with the playstructure here.

It was a beautiful Friday afternoon to celebrate the beautiful new playground at Raymond Park with our community!

If you've ever seen that video of the kid falling off the playstructure and then just laughing as they run their hands through the sand, that's me rn

I'm in playstructure hell but I'd say it's coming along quite nicely

Chickens //

NINETEEN WEEKS! Change is slowing, so I skipped week eightteen on purpose. They are almost adult, after all!

Zoomer and Geemer adventured all the way up to the play structure at yard's end! Brave! And wow, Zoomer's beard is very fresh now, and Geemer's earlobes are so big and vibrant 😊

My daughter took her stuffed rabbit to preschool today and came home and now it’s name is “Playstructure”.

I asked her if it was a family name

She is v serious about this

It's not even a whatever park, it is very clearly à children's park bc it is mostly playstructure! And he is *scary mad* and it is a near daily, multi-hour occurence

Explain your @

Back in middle/high school my friends and I were trying to do cool jumps off a playstructure. I didn't stick the landing and one of my friend's say something like
"Get a load of Captain Supreme over here"

I liked the sound of it, so I stole it
Explain your @

back in like 2017 I was really into close knitted groups and found the NSMBHD forums to be a really nice place with cool folk

there was an individual's username in there that was really short and concise, skawo, and I suppose I wanted to imitate that a bit.

slack a lot

Explain your @

Growing up my nickname was Tintin in my close family friend group and my favourite colour is Teal!

Mashed them together and you get @tintinteal 🙂‍↕️🤭 Easy peasy!

Baby spider spotted outside earlier. There is also a resident lizard who lives near the cactus and there are tons of roly polies

Gotta love end of year picnics for choir in the park. Boys are playing a game on the playstructure and break out into a spontaneous rendition of Wellerman lol #OttawaBoysChoir

A playstructure in a clearing in a wooded park that is so tall the bad guys can never climb high enough to get me, but no clue where it is

I lol looked at the nameplate of it when I was there and didn’t notice any earthscape mentions, but it does look similar.

Like most things, I’m sure it came down to not budgeting enough for a real placemaking playstructure.

It could have been an epic log driver’s waltz playground

Yes!! I live near this park with a playstructure and it's not every parent who is like this, but when they show up it gets me in the feels. This is how I am as a kidsitter tbh!!
