Mr 10 was “praying to Santa for a giant Jenga set.” We told him Santa isn’t God so his prayers will be unlikely to be answered.
“Should I pray to Jesus for Jenga instead?” 😅

I mean, at this point my kids know that Santa has some kind of agreement with Amazon and uses magic to wrap gifts in paper that may or may not be in my closet year round. It’s all a massive conspiracy just waiting to be blown open but it is not in their interest to uncover the truth.

My parents happen to be in Canada over the holidays visiting my brother so I took the opportunity to tell them they could watch the 60 minutes episode about CECOT that CBS isn’t allowed to air in the US.
My mom asked “what’s CECOT?”
They’re doing a good job keeping a lot of people ignorant.

Bari’s complaint was “there’s nothing new here” and while that’s untrue it’s also irrelevant
“we intentionally sent people to be tortured in a hellhole and bragged about it and The Hague is too good for everyone involved” is a story that simply cannot be told enough

How to frustrate an 8 year old.
Her: “I don’t get it, they’re saying the same thing.”
Me: “they’re emphasizing different words”
Her: “what’s that mean?”
Me: “putting stress on the word”
Her: “HOW CAN WORDS BE STRESSED?!?”
Her: “I don’t get it, they’re saying the same thing.”

My son wondered why the Scarecrow wished for a brain when what he really needed was a proper body. “He needs bones.”

Her: “Can I throw this away now?” 😅

Happy Monday to my little echo chamber ☀️
Grateful to be somewhere I can spend more time enjoying shared interests than arguing with trolls.
And even more grateful to be in a space where important conversations aren’t buried or silenced.

I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.
