how developmentally appropriate is it for my toddler to ask if a mazzy star song (pre-vocals) is by the cranberries? Is it concerning enough to bring it up to the pediatrician at her next doctor appointment? she turns 3 next week if that helps.

On Trying to Try Some people always write everything down.

The hardest part of making anything, art especially, is trying, trying and trying until something comes to fruition. If a book, a song, a film etc reaches your heart, reach out and tell the creator. Sometimes a small acknowledgement of effort is enough to keep going open.substack.com/pub/jessicag...
