36 weeks pregnant today, and as Erik's due date approaches, I am feeling a mounting sense of anxiety. Not about going into labor, or giving birth, or caring for an infant, but the state of the world that I have brought my children into. How can I prepare them for such a world?

My @scishow.bsky.social buddies will appreciate this one.

Are we really watching Trump take notes out of Hawk Tuah girl's playbook, and people think they can trust his meme coin? As if the headline "President launches meme coin" isn't dystopian enough alone? Government officials should have nothing to do with stocks or crypto.

I used to like mushroom spotting in the fall. I hate that you ruined that for me. Maybe I'll reclaim it one day. When these painful memories of you begin to fade.

Goodnight everyone
