A good day.

Proud to have the only child who has tried (and succeeded) to open the fire extinguisher cabinet at the library. The librarian was very impressed.

Got this cabinet on the local buy nothing group yesterday so I'm excited to spend the rest of this hot day opening and closing the doors 500x.

My neighbor is into making all kinds of magic like this for her daughters and I'm exhausted even thinking about it. Only magic I have an interest in conjuring up is teaching my little peep how to forage because eating berries off trees is real magic.

Are these weird meme things that get recommended to me written by AI. This feels like some kind of crunchy mad libs.

Mom come get me a lady with a MAHA tote bag just sat next to me at library story time.

When did we stop opening gifts at showers. I went to a baby shower today that was basically just lunch with a bunch of strangers and two weird little games. Like, I want to watch someone open a bottle warmer.

Just watched about twenty minutes of News12 because I want to know the weather and saw two Gottheimer commercials, two Fulop commercials, a Spiller commercial, and a Sweeney commercial.

There was a time when I was cynical about these but I am only interested in shopping at grocery stores with carts like this.

“The best indicator of the quality of public spaces is the age of children who are free to roam around on their own.” - Eva Kail (Vienna urbanist) @nacto.bsky.social This is a good rubric for evaluating subjective and objective safety: “Would I let a beloved child walk or play alone here?”

New Jersey problem: don't quite understand why but when I type out BJs (as in the wholesale club where I buy all my groceries) I'm always tempted to spell it BJais (as in D'jais the legendary night club around the corner from my family shore house)

I always thought that Bob's Burgers was set in NJ but we just watched an episode and Linda said deli meat multiple times rather than cold cuts and now I don't know.

There's not actually anything I can do about this but I can't stop thinking about the bike ride I went for yesterday and the whole trail was surrounded by nothing but mugwort, mullein and multiflora rose. No small native plants at all.

Really rude of Laurie Berkner to have jumping in one of the verses of Rocketship Run. Like isn't throwing my 26 pound toddler up in the air enough?

We finished Andor so we're watching A New Hope and I realized that even though Andor and the other new Star Wars movies are excellent they're not campy and that's an important element of Star Wars to me.

Wow I am glad someone told me to watch through the credits on the last episode of Andor.

I'm invited to two baby showers this summer and I think I'm gonna make a mix CD of like Raffi, Laurie Berkner, Elizabeth Mitchell, Dan Zanes, Okee Dokee Brothers and Caspar Baby Pants so they're ready to dance with their babies.

Sometimes I think about all the things I could bike to with my kid from my house without breaking a sweat (our pool club, Hmart, the Edison Library, Rutgers Garden, the Zimmerli art museum) except I value actually being alive and not seriously injured and I get really pissed off.

My dad thinks I should run for Congress and I'm thinking that the center point of my platform is going to be mailing all toddlers a pair of overalls starting when they're 18mo til they're 4 because overalls are the cutest.
