This keeps happening to me. I don't know if they're bots or if their brains are truly so cooked that they feel they can turn ANYTHING into a discussion about their politics.

When I was about 16, a girl in my friend's class was allegedly applying mascara in the middle of a lesson, and their teacher said "I seen you puttin on dem leshes"

That's been trapped in my brain ever since. I am forever thinking I seen you puttin on dem leshes.

Today she literally picked up two fallen leaves for it. Baby and Mama, Autumn Leaf edition.

Sometimes she'll say it apropos of nothing while we're hanging out. Like that's right, it's another classic baby and mama chill sesh

The toddler can't see two objects side-by-side without pointing to them and saying "Baby and Mama!"

Probably the sweetest "That's you" I've ever experienced.

Seriously though!! I'll be so sad when the trees are bare but I have to remind myself that the transience is what makes this so especially beautiful.

Cool stuff from today

The back of a locomotive seen from inside a train carriage. The locomotive is blue and bears the name Gunther written in cursive.

A tree whose leaves are in a perfect gradient of red, orange, yellow and green from top to bottom.

the zaza got me speaking esperanto @rollerskater.bsky.social · 8h

the media decided apropos of fuck all that trans people were dangerous perverts who want to force surgery on children and expose their genitals in public. they turned public opinion against trans people when only seven years ago, most women by and large supported transgender rights

Me too! I have an idea for one but haven't started work on it yet.

Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin @miseryvulture.bsky.social · 9h

I love epistolary novels and I love Sweeney Todd, so it should surprise no one that I love The Butcher's Daughter so far.

Like I DO love Berlin, by and large. I still get googly eyed when I'm out and about. But there's a lot to dislike about it too. But yeah, my Kiez? I would hug it if I could.

Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin @miseryvulture.bsky.social · 11h

Hahaha I still haven't learned!

Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin @miseryvulture.bsky.social · 11h

Why are they like this?! I swear, I don't understand how our species has survived as long as it has. I did read that, with very little kids, if you manage to get them to eat ONE meal a day, even if they just pick at the others, you can consider that a successful day of eating. That's helped.

Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin @miseryvulture.bsky.social · 11h

Yes! Same with our area actually. It's the former East, so there's a big Vietnamese community here.

Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin @miseryvulture.bsky.social · 11h

Oh it's TOTALLY that, you're right on the money. She's really going through a phase of asserting her independence, which is great! But she's still gotta eat lol

Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin @miseryvulture.bsky.social · 11h

For real, I think peer pressure helps haha because she eats fine at kindergarten among the other kids!

Toddler is doing this very annoying thing of late where she will reject every single meal unless I can somehow convince her to try one bite, at which point she's like "oh yeah, this is great" and will finally sit down to eat. Every single time, this silly charade!!
