I watched The Boy and The Heron months ago and I'm still not sure how I feel about it and that........that I love.

Ugh I really miss D&D but the only way I'm going to get to play is if I DM and I just do not have the spare brain goo right now. 😭

Some days I'm not sure if Arachne was cursed or blessed.

My kindergartner: I'm just so proud of you! You worked so hard and you did it! I knew you could!

I haven't been in academia for 14 years, but I never requested to be removed from several of the mailing lists and you better believe I still read them. I'm still proud of your awards. I still read some of the papers. You guys are doing cool work.

I'm so sorry, Robert. I'm sure everyone there is afraid. It's appalling.

I feel very lucky to be his mom.

It's my kindergartener's birthday today and I asked what he wanted to do tonight (his party is on another day) and he said nothing really, but could I hide his presents like Easter eggs? Bro? Abso-fucking-lutely. That is whimsical as hell.
