πŸ˜‚ In a twist of the tale, I was first dx, then my kids, and then we all side-eyed my parents together!

Oh my god I’m back.

2 months of being logged out, my password manager not working as expected & various 2fa systems being obstreperous.

Did I miss much?

A very fluffy ginger cat lies on his back staring at the ceiling. You can only see his top half, and the photo is taken from the side so you can see his profile. His front paws are relaxed, like t-rex arms.

Iconic trolling from Charlene Kaye - complete with replies from insulted men in the thread below.

I’d pay to watch her do this on a livestream.

The best I’ve ever mustered is a mild & surprising β€œI’m not hating this”

And I’ve done pilates for years.

It’s also why I do an early morning virtual class. I have to get up bc I committed to the class & it’s taught live, but I’m only awake for the last half hour. That’s bearable.

Me too. He’s no genius.
All the geniuses I know have an excess of empathy & compassion too. Almost crippling in this day & age

It’s a miracle that any art happens under capitalism & patriarchy.
Humans really are amazing.

Yep, seed will get you a roulette of genes just like human reproduction. No idea what fruit will be like until it fruits!

Cuttings = clones so are exact copies.

Sometimes! And oftentimes not, and sometimes I use honey too. It’s meant to be similar in effect to rooting hormone powder.

Initially read this as β€œNo one wants to see your duck” and spent a confused minute feeling concerned that there were people who disliked ducks that much that they had written a whole book.

Ooof. Much easier to do Eastern Orthodox midnight mass: stay up late, He rises at midnight, home for feasting, sleep in.

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

100% yes!
We used to call going away β€œparenting in exotic locations” (exotic meaning β€œnot at home” lol) bc it’s just same stuff but harder

Going with no-kid friends was always easier, up until the kids were older. Then it was β€œborrow your child’s bestie” for the easiest holiday.

I was abducted by aliens. They made me wash my hands, clean my room, and eat my vegetables.

Turns out I was on the mothership.
