We’ve had a good week so far. We had Bird for a whole day so we went to a few museums and then had a picnic & art making in a shaded park; very enjoyable.

The Hunger Games films are not very 2026 entertainment, are they? 2012 us really thought we’d rise up against fascism huh.

I forgot I had “Catching Fire” playing for sound in the background. I was briefly confused when I heard Katniss yell “hey bitch!”

Also “Arrival” and “Everything Everywhere All At Once”.

“Cloud Atlas”; I know the practicalities of race-swapping actors was problematic but the *concept* of the story was SO heart-hitting to me.

Mostly cozy phone games 🤷🏻

I was racking my brain trying to remember— but the only one I recall being traumatised by is “Cat’s Eye”, so I look it up & I’d have been ~5. That’s probably the earliest then. I grew up to love both cats & King.

I just watched a Republican (I think Thune) say "but McConnell isn't the first to miss lots of work, Dems have too" -- it confuses me because my issue w/ absentee representatives is regardless of what party they're with; they're elected & paid to do a job.

Rude how there’s been a script waiting for me for four days…

There are a handful of creators I'd support if they were on Patreon vs Substack.

My previous health care company didn't have a patient portal. My current one does & I'm finding I enjoy reading the visit notes. The system is good w/ gender/pronouns & legal/preferred name, but individual providers' understanding/implementation differs in a way I find charming vs offensive.

8am is an inconvenient time to crave onion rings.

Just a swell time to have a government completely committed to climate denial.

I’m not joining your fn substack

What the bargello tapestry turned into: an over-the-shoulder market bag for an American Girl doll.

My friend assembled the game cabinet, so you can see the panel I painted in situ!

The Crying Game

I was well into my thirties when I figured it out. But as a kid, I acted like a boy and refused to wear dresses etc, so it didn't really come as a surprise to anyone lol

I've been so sensitive to stimulus that I'm wearing sunglasses in doors with the lights off, and Loops on under my noise-canceling headphones playing music. It had not occurred to me that I'd need to tell Kid that now was not a great time to paint their nails.

The last thing you said to your pet is your 2028 campaign slogan: “Hello beautiful boy!” “Who told you that you could be so soft?!” [[ chirp noise ]] “I can see your big pink belly!”

Hey friends, incase you didn’t know, it’s Monday— not Tuesday.

I've heard that there's reliable intel that McConnell is already gone. So perhaps that's two of the whole "it comes in threes" thing?

5 living authors you've read 5+ books each: @stephenking.bsky.social @jacquelinecarey.bsky.social @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social @nkjemisin.bsky.social @tamorapierce.bsky.social Goodness, I think they're all relatively unscathed at current (the 1st author who sprang to mind certainly is not)

Spring rolls with a stupendous amount of peanut sauce

"My indecision has once again cost me happiness and I will now suffer."

I cannot like or comment to posts atm.

I spoke to McConnell for a wee bit this morning. We had a substantive conversation about the education system, how authoritative Christian cults have lead to the downfall of critical thinking, and even a little bit on Culturally Responsive Teaching. I told him the nation sends thoughts & prayers.
