Kind of proud of my kid. We got our kid a smart watch instead of a phone & Kid cares so little about it they leave it just about anywhere but on. The whole point of it was to reach them but that’s not happening if they’re not wearing it. Does anyone remember what that sense of freedom was like ?

Ahh of course “It’s crazy because people from New Jersey will go to the city to see a show like it’s nothing,” he said. “But it’s rare that people from the city will come to Jersey to go see anything.”

If you miss having that bubble gum that was rolled up in a container - have this seltzer

It’s tea time again

It’s tea time

I can’t describe how stressed these “monitors” caused me to be. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/h...

Psychology is a field like no other. I feel like so many people have squeezed themselves into the field pretending to know stuff and to be specialists. Y’all got mad when someone pretended to a be a lawyer but is anyone else noticing all these life coaches trying to be psychologists ? 😮‍💨

I worked for the Boy Scouts of America for one summer. It was for their financial division. One of my job responsibilities was to pick up checks all over town and bring them back to the office.

Great episode. I do wish they’d at least touch on how Privilege and socio economic status impacts likelihood of achieving flow. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/y...

It dipped below 70 °!! It’s time to have some proper tea and celebrate this fall evening.

Although this is incredibly brave - it shouldn’t have been necessary. 😠https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10/16/us/bend-oregon-shooting-school/heres-the-latest?smid=url-share&smid=nytcore-ios-share&rsrc=cl-share

It’s not possible to explain to American Americans that every member of my immediate family was born in a different country without talking about persecution. So if I don’t they’re usually so confused and ask if my background is of all the countries the members of my family are born in.

First things first: If we really wanted to help kids we would have more trained providers to the number of students e.g. school psychs at schools which are compulsory. I see early intervention on challenges at elementary school as being key to student support. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/o...

Geez this hits such a raw nerve for me

What if A.D.H.D. Isn’t About Attention at All? “It’s also the case that some people reach for medications in an effort to maintain lifestyles that are unsustainable for them. “ I so wish people would stop claiming little kids who aren’t interested in tasks had adhd. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/s...

Don’t buy this. Just drink water.

So excited about the return of GBBO and Nigella joining the team!!

Ever feel like you’re accomplishing nothing then you make a list after the fact and realize you are doing so much more than you ever thought you were ?

In this weeks trader Joe finds - I did not find my favorite mini bar of dark (3) chocolates and now I’m worried they’ve discontinued them. 😆I did find this random cheese and decided to get it. I have not tried it yet.

Noted

Last weeks trader Joe find for all those fans of ketchup @strowhiro.bsky.social

This week’s Trader Joe find

Sometimes we buy emergency chocolate for ourselves. Sometimes we buy it for others. Today I was glad to have it to give out to my colleagues.

It’s 9 am on a Saturday and I’m already crying tears. My baby is old and writing a birthday twin friend a really nice birthday message in their card. 😭🥹

😁so excited !! Can’t wait

😮

This had me 🤣🙃😆 because it looked like one of my regular outfits other than the socks

All these food contamination concerns have caused us to change our eating habits to purchase more meat & dairy. My kid is making fun of my long-standing cottage cheese obsession. Interesting considering they were the ones telling us to have more meat & dairy. Hope they’re happy now. I miss salads 🫤

Feeling 😭🤬😔 about this terrible timeline we are in.

It’s so funny when someone who hasn’t been emotionally available in a single circumstance for over 4 decades apologizes for not being in touch. All I picture is Chad from SNL saying “okay😑”

Psa. We may not agree w/ political systems. We may not agree w/ federal systems. We may not agree w/ state systems. But please I’m begging you stop undermining school staff! You’re not helping your own child learn & progress if you trash talk. Oh & your child will repeat everything you say !

What if asking for help rocks the boat too much ? What if asking for help only highlights adults’ shortcomings? Will people feel safe to do it ? I was taught to not question authority figures so upbringing & a sense of safety does play into this but isn’t mentioned. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/o...

Relatable ! Despite having a robust friend group interviewee felt compelled to lean on ai. There’s something very familiar about being the person who everyone reaches out to but having a hard time when that person who needs support is you. Are we socialized rhis way ? www.404media.co/bridget-todd...

Amazing

Oh not Tim Curry now😭

Aw😌😭

So very sad to learn this

It’s going to be a great day. I started my day w/ a walk in the dark & a big fluffy dog camp up behind me, jumped on me & inadvertently grabbed my phone. It was all so comical as the dog was very fluffy & looked like a dog from Sesame Street. Great start to day w/ no good news yet 10/10 recommend !

He looks like Luigi! What is going on!!?🤯

Thanks for recognizing black history is American history.

Love this. This is me to my kid all the time.

Overheard in a beauty supply store: store employee:” this is the blonde you want. This other one here is like a ditzy blonde type of blonde”. Me: 😳
