Yes. Also… parents are supposed to send their kids with their birth certificates (or passports for the small subset who actually have them)? Because those are the only documents non-driving minors have. My kid has lost anything and everything at school, including a left shoe.

A non sequitur in an age where I care *so much* about other weighty stuff, but the barrel-legged pants trend has me baffled. They’re so unflattering. I dated a bow-legged guy way back and have no desire to imitate him. But eating my words seems to be a middle aged curse, so who knows πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ #fashion

I’m beginning to read The Demon of Unrest, by Erik Larson and… I know as kids in the U.S., we were taught about the Civil War in school. But man, I forgot all but the bare minimum. Thank you, to all who write accessible nonfiction, so I can pick it up and not be an idiot.

Bad news, but not… surprising news?

In the aftermath of the election, my son, in his young teens, has launched a philosophical, and fundamentally existential exploration (which he sometimes shares with me). Who am I? Who are we? Why am I? Does it matter? As responses to elections go, this one… seems as valid as any other right now.
