My kid loves The Pebble and the Man

Been volunteering with a local resettlement agency and recently helped a refugee couple renew their health insurance. Found out they are expecting their first child next month so, with the help of some friends, put together a pretty deluxe new baby care package for them.

I’ve also heard ripshit used as a state of being, for example, “If I’d been there I would’ve been ripshit.” As far as I am aware one can only go apeshit, but cannot BE apeshit.

On the other hand, I find it a beautifully evocative term that perhaps the wider world needs to become better acquainted with!

I used the term ripshit in front of my spouse and learned that it is not a word midwesterners are familiar with.

Solidarity with Emily because I also often crave trash when I am sick. But also solidarity with Chris because my true “mom made this when I was sick as a kid” food is pastina.
