The BEST. The way he absolutely lit up when Donald and Goofy appeared. 🥰

I’ve loved every stage of parenting for different reasons, but “old enough for us to start a play-through of Kingdom Hearts together” is a truly thrilling milestone.

Air quality map for Seattle, covered in red dots.

Just watching our air quality deteriorate in real time. Really excellent that smoke season is just an annual event here now.

My kid just got invited to his first D&D campaign. Hooray for raising adorable little geeks.

Groggily in place of groggy. As in “I napped too long and now I’m all groggily.” It just feels … groggilier.

I have so much Summer Game Fest fomo. If you’re going please have a great time & a drink for me! 💕

I have plenty of shortcomings as a caregiver (and human), but my 10-week-old puppy just wagged his tail in his sleep and that makes me feel like I must be doing some things right.

Bluesky, meet Luffy, the cutest Straw Hat Pirate. He’s 10 weeks old today and I’m obsessed. He’s the fourth puppy I’ve raised, and the first that is not a herding breed, and I did not realize puppies could be so chill. Like he just lets me carry him around the house like the fluffy baby he is.

I ran a (Star Wars-themed) half marathon at Disneyland the year after Rogue One came out, and a spectator in the last couple miles had a sign with his CG face that said “you still look better than he did.”

Ah yes, noted anti-consumerist Donald Trump.

Me: I’m in NYC, guess I’ll take an actual yellow cab to the airport instead of an Uber.

Cab driver: cuts through a parking lot; gets pulled over. 🫠

An MBA is probably not in my future. But if it were, I think I’d want to study how Loungefly came to so wholly dominate the market for bags to carry at Disneyland.

Today, in Close Calls with the ADHD Tax, I realized, upon receiving confirmations from two different booking companies at two different emails, that I had booked two different rental cars for a trip next week. Booked one, then 6 weeks later apparently thought “oh I’d better book a rental car.”

Adding “registered for 2 sessions of swimming lessons and 1 summer camp in under 60 seconds” to my resume. IYKYK

Right?!?

Finally experienced Marie’s Crisis and it was everything my musical theater-loving heart could have dreamed of. 🥰

Going into the week with the energy of the SEA TSA agent informing everyone of exactly how long the regulations they forget have been in effect. “No liquids. 18 years, 4 months, 14 days.”

Really fantastic time to be a frequent flyer.

Oh hello

I’m so sorry.

Can someone please tell me when the halftime show comes on thx

POV: you’re hosting a play date and have 3 third-grade boys and an Alexa device in your house.

Same.

It’s never been more important to make sure you are getting your information from people who know what they’re talking about. (“Often says things I think are smart and that I agree with” is not the same thing as that.) (Neither is “sounds certain.”)

Pantsuit Politics—the politics and the subscriber community—remains one of my places of solace and sanity.

Walked in to find my husband sitting with our kid watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Kid hasn’t seen the others so I questioned why we were starting there. Husband: “There’s a lot of Nazi-punching in this one.” Ah. Yes, carry on.

This is, in fact, exactly what I need.

I lived in CA for 10 years, 6 of those in LA. It’s so surreal to watch the evacuation zone creep closer and closer to our old apartment, the one we brought our son home to when he was born. Just heartbroken by the devastation and loss happening.
