Don’t frog it, Crochet! #redsox
The transition from being still vaguely a peer of your young colleagues to being a peer of their parents is tight.
Was telling a friend that my only child asked about what it was like to have a sibling and that I had replied: It’s having a person in your life who will say the cruelest things to you yet also drop anything to help you. She looked shocked. Surely that is the definition of a sibling?!
Concept: Airport crochet or knitting kits arranged by flight time, with airplane-approved supplies.
Totally fascinating!

Tuesday 27th May. Lined up new episode of Backlisted for my commute. It was bloody brilliant! I thought Secret Diary of A. Mole 13¾ was just funny but intellectuals like @ninastibbe.bsky.social have convinced me it is actually searing critique of Mrs Thatcher etc. www.backlisted.fm/episodes/240...

For 225 years, the Library of Congress has collected America’s stories and kept Congress informed. The American Library Association stands with America’s library.
“Shame on all of us if we let these ignorant purveyors of cruelty reduce this beautiful thing we’ve built over these hundreds of years to a hollow, braying, anti-version of itself.”

Are trees the dogs of the plant world?
Just really here for Pope Leo’s brothers!
Dr. Carla Hayden has served as Librarian of Congress with honor and distinction, bringing our prized institution to new heights.
Trump’s outrageous, politically-motivated move to fire her is despicable. The Library of Congress belongs to the American people — NOT to Trump.

Have survived school spirit week! Five costumes and hairstyles, two baked goods, and one concert. 👐
This makes me think of my own parents and the incredible stress of caregiving for someone with dementia. I am so sad for them both. Yet for Gene I wonder if a hospital would have been its own kind of curse. Maybe he was always going to go out alone.

Every time I hear the term “rare earth minerals,” I think of this book and it’s absolutely brilliant and bloody ending.
