Hope this morning the moment Matt drops her next to me in bed: "Boob."

Me: "Is that what I am to you, boobs?"

Her: "Yes"

Me: "Really, that's all I am to you?"

Her: "Yes."

Are we still laughing about it? Why, yes, yes, we are.

When you see a really worrying looking spider near the toilet and miss when trying to kill it.

Well... there's a non-zero chance that this moment is going to bite me in the ass...

Trial of the Egg: Passed

Me: I wonder what my child would do if I played dead.

Me: -plays dead-

Child: -Steals my phone and runs away giggling-

Do whatever it takes to survive. Do whatever it takes to help others survive. Even if what you're doing feels too small, or silly, or simple in the face of everything. Every little bit matters.

Fight like hell. And when I say that, I mean whatever that looks like for you.

Be it bombarding your reps with calls, supporting your local library, handing out red cards, donating, clinging to scraps of joy, stalling ICE with questions, or gardening and sharing your harvest with your community.

Me, trying to take a shower:

My daughter, outside the bathroom door: *knocks* "Mama. Mama. Mamamamamama." Rinse and repeat for 10 mins.

Today in signs my child needs to get out more: my daughter refuses to walk on muddy ground. She stayed rooted in place, pointing down at it, exclaiming "poop!"

I wonder what these could be for...

130 ducks have been placed.

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

A plastic container filled with miniature ducks in a wide array of colors.

The ducks have arrived! The duckening is nigh.

We're going to be popping over to Matt's parents' house to care of plants and take in mail while they're in Georgia. So, naturally, I bought 120 miniature ducks to hide all over their house. Let the duckening begin!!!

By all means, sit together in your grief, or fear, or anger, but don't forget to share in your joys and triumphs too. Small personal win? Share it! Honest to god windfall? Share it! Found a cool article about a potentially life-saving scientific breakthrough? Share it!

And it just continued to throw punches from that ep on. I could go on forever about how much emotional resonance and detail were packed into every moment. environment, song choice, etc. Arcane is a goddamn masterpiece, and topping it is going to be one hell of an undertaking.

Alright 🦋, I need some top-notch #poetry recs. Help me find the good stuff.

I've already ready most of Ocean Vuong's stuff as well as Sierra DeMulder's Ephemera, to give you an idea of what tickles my fancy.

Onward steed!

Them: Ooooh, hey, great blush. Where did you get it?

Me: I made it myself.

Them: What do you call this shade?

Me: Chronic pain flare.

Them: ...

How many of you remember this feeling?

Currently working on LFG with @bestghost.bsky.social - a shitpost of a secrets and powers larp about the worst kinds of DnD characters trying to pick up a party at the tavern the night before a big kingdom sanctioned quest. Over the top silliness abounds.

You don't owe anyone who voted to hurt you and yours peace today. If that is a grace that you choose to bestow, know that that is exactly what it is - grace. Undeserved. A gift given in the face of a sucker punch.

For many people, today is a food holiday. That means the following are 100% off limits:

- Discussions about people's bodies or portion sizes

And the following are paramount:

- Challenging the notion held by those who voted to hurt you and/or your friends and loved ones that nothing has changed.

It approaches from the deep.

Or...hear me out...YEAR ROUND SPOOKY SEASON!!

Oh, hey, this has been on my "to watch" list for a bit now, guess this is my sign to give it a go now that I've finished Arcane s2.

It's entirely too good, and I am 100% here to flail about it once you've seen it.

When the cat steals your daughter's chair.

Behold Prudence one-eye, slayer of dots, queen of rainbows.

More larp shots? Yes. Always more larp shots.

Do I wish that we hadn't passed perfect leaf season? For sure, but winter will bring its own beauty and, with it, more opportunities for fun ring shots.
