calmer than you are. taller too, probably. preschool teacher turned child psychologist turned foster mom of 3. she/her/dr.
at least my “””autistic””” son (5) loves his train set so i can enjoy it with him, a hobby i was denied in childhood for unknown (but possibly noise-related) reasons

she (now 7) has since accomplished this feat a third (3rd) time
the fact that my daughter (6) could rip the doors off their hinges should have been my first clue that this apartment wasn’t ideal but alas

I actually don’t feel as fine as R.E.M. led me to believe I would

successfully finding many people from the bad place, nearly none of whom will follow me back, but i can at least still read everybody’s little ideas during night feedings so all is not lost? all is not lost

I love the idea of joyful disobedience to authoritarians

Beating up daddy only reinforces the patriarchal values he embodies

Laughing at him while refusing to accept his authority over us? That breaks him and the power of the ideas that empower him

i give away these objects, hopefully to people to whom they will be less terrible
sometimes you can just tell when an inanimate object is being a fucker towards you

My baby has learned to wave. She has learned to say “bye-bye.” She has climbed over the baby gate. She has fashioned a crude bindle out of a tree branch and burlap. She has memorized the rail paths to Milwaukee. She has hitchhiked with beat poets, searched for a jazz symphony beneath starlit skies

we gotta bring back scrumpilate
"discombobulate" is the sole survivor of the 1830s American fad for fake compound words in the style of mock Latin. Others that petered out with time were "scrumplicate" for eat, "spifflicate" for confuse, and the incandescent "absquatulate" for quit or abandon.

FRIEND: What would you do with a billion dollars?

ME: [without looking up from my phone] Build a tiny city for raccoons to live in- where they were not governed by the laws of man

FRIEND: ...

ME: Oh, and fix the climate crisis
