Good morning to my kid who is inexplicably up and dressed despite staying up way too late, and who looks cute in the new shirt he's wearing, and hopefully ready to take that last GED math test. Fingers crossed, omg
Ridiculously so. And quiet house in early evenings, like 8pm quiet zone because he sleeps in the living room at the moment. But it also means better future function, so we are slowly getting there.
What in the world... Are those his regular, unplucked eyebrows? Is he somehow adding hair to his eyebrows?
I do love me a good fuzzy man eyebrow, but like... This seems extreme
See, this is how you know monogamy is ok for this situation, not "marry super young as virgins and never know better."
That's informed choice and consent right there ❤️❤️❤️

(nodding wisely) immediately sharing with son who has been upgraded to Baker at work...
When you find somebody else who is your flavor of fucking odd, that's called "joy," and it's like your inner child found a best friend. If you also enjoy fucking each other, that's a bonus.
For me, it's the goddamn snake dragons.
I need you all to know that when you make terrible, terrible Dad jokes with awful puns in them, I IMMEDIATELY share those horrible puns with my children, and I think that's beautiful.
Ewe get right back here and look what ewe did.
What sort of cars do sheep want to drive..? 🤔
A Lamborghini. 😂🤣
*silence...
... 😳 sorry.
I'll just grab my hat and coat and quietly leave, ok?
That can work! Sometimes you just find one person and your brain says, "Yup--this one."
And if you're REALLY lucky, their brain says the same thing.
It's kind of like having one very Special Interest, only it's for a person and then you mutually work to make each other's lives better. It's cool!
Bread is an art! It truly is!
As a mom who spent much of this kiddo's childhood grinding wheat and baking yummy stuff from scratch, I feel like finally I taught him something he is using, which is funny but real.
Like vibe-coding, but with music and writing and other arts.
There are some savants!
They still get better when they practice piano and whatnot!
look, i understand wanting to make the arts more approachable but saying you don’t need to read as a writer is like saying you don’t need to practice to be good at [insert just about any sport or other form of art].
“all you need is the ability to communicate…” yeah and how do you think you…
When a very religious boy and a very religious girl love each other very much*, sometimes they like to pretend they can get everything they need in life from just one person. It's kind of like being a tortoiseshell cat, only with people.
*haven't yet been caught cheating, etc
This is the dream. A shared life creating something good and real that makes people's lives better.
It seems this could be useful to a lot of people who want to protest but lack time or confidence.
what if we kissed under the whale-like space beast

Finally someone is ready to talk shit about butterflies
my favorite part of psych papers is the 'here are some questions we didn't look into, but hey, someone should!' section
But we can now send sad trombones about this, I GUESS

In honor of Liam Ramos, the 5 year old detained by Ice,(now released) for the next 75 days, I will post one Democrat per day of the 75 who signed a letter expressing gratitude for ICE. We can and must do better. Everyone should know who these people are. #75icedems

Right?!
Yay!! Seriously, my kids have all been SUCH awful sleepers, and that he's doing things he really loves that also go alongside his "terrible sleep patterns" is awesome. The hardest part is that we are still also in the house and trying to be quiet during the day for naps. But it works?!
Huh. Apparently tortilla chips and salsa weren't enough for dinner, especially since I accidentally drank caffeine later than I realized, and it's fighting for dominance with the melatonin.
Heater, an orange cat, sits in perfect load formation on an unmade bed.
may I offer you a loaf in this trying time (one week until Election Day)
