One of the best parts of finding a long lost home video from 30+ years ago was getting to hear not only my grandmother’s voice, but her classic and beautiful southern accent that just sounds so different than southern accents now.

That once happened to me and then all three of us got a bath 😢 I swear the dog smelled like sour milk for days.

I am one of those folks and am so appreciative of your honesty about the struggles of being an early career woman/mother in academia!

The Mustard Museum in Madison, WI is fantastic!

Chacos are also excellent for this exact purpose

Always amazed at how much a 20 min nap does to help me be (at least closer to) the mom I want to be. I can actually parent based on my values instead of just surviving the day. Just in case you want to reframe “lazy” to something kinder and without any negative connotations ;)

I (Lindsey) once taught a course with a TA (Lynzee) and a cohort mate (Lindsay). Poor students never knew who to email.

Has anybody tagged @hankgreen.bsky.social in this yet?

I actually first started following you because I am also a (single) mom and early career academic. Not entirely sure which is harder, but this shit is hard!! We need community. We are both going to make that percentage just a smidgen higher though.

I would super love a gift link!

Ha! I bribed my 2 year old to run errands with me by promising him a car wash at the end. Seriously considering one of those monthly memberships… truly never imagined myself saying that prior to parenthood.

@tashacoryell.bsky.social out here teaching literacy from an early age 😂

As a single mother of a toddler, this post gives me hope 💜

Currently read this book on repeat with my 2 year old and laugh just as much every time.

Perfect. No notes.

Thank you! Evidently the key is to do it on a big screen and not my phone :)

Silly question - is it possible to gift this? I am not great at tech and couldn’t figure out how to sign in with a friend’s email address.

I got three by 8 am! Are you kidding me?!

Reminds me of the kiddo I saw once whose support object was… a coat hanger.

My toddler also enjoys yelling when he offers the dog his food and she does NOT eat it.
“Gadget! Cracker! Gadget! Cracker!!”
