Today I go through edits on a manuscript and try and make it make sense. Tomorrow, I read someone else's manuscript and try and make it make sense. Finding clarity is my favourite part of writing and editing.

Two year old had a meltdown this morning because I wouldn't let her put duplo blocks down the front of my dress 🙃

We would do well to recover the Christian teaching that wealth is morally dangerous to the soul of the wealthy, that Jesus was serious about it being difficult for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God. Tax the rich because it is good for the rich to have less. Too much $ is bad for you.

Late to the party but just finished reading Sunrise On The Reaping and wow it was actually very very good?

I am sure my desire to eat sauerkraut wuth every meal probably indicates some vitamin deficiency, but it's so delicious!

My toddler is at the age where going to IKEA to buy one thing (a new clock) can legitimately be turned into an all day activity for her. Helps that the restaurant at our local IKEA looks over the airport and we can watch planes take off and land while we eat!

If you use AI to create your art, your story, your whatever, I immediately know you don’t care about making things — you only care about selling them.

Husband took me to a lunch date at our local pie shop and now we are both working on laptops in cosy silence and the childcare fees are absolutely worth it to have this two days a week.

I wonder how many days in a row I could take my toddler to the free play area at the museum before a staff member said something

There I was thinking my mental health was all better, and then I had a meltdown because I can't handle how chaotic my toddler's room is 🙃

I am still not entirely myself, but I feel so so much than I did two weeks ago. Mental health stuff is so strange, but I know how real and bad it felt from the inside, but now I can look back and see it all with perspective?And it WAS real, even if it doesn't feel as drastic now as it did then.

In excellent timing, one writing project has (almost) wrapped up, while an application to write a journal article got accepted! I won't say more yet, but I am excited about this project.

not to be dramatic but I think every person who either advocates for or enables the use of AI in schools should be put in the public stocks and pelted with rotten produce

I am such a wimp when it comes to spicy food. But every now and then I will have the sudden desire for a really good curry, and anyway that's why me and my toddler are sitting and sharing naan bread

I don’t spend ALL my time reading books. I also spend plenty of time browsing libraries and used book sales, reading book reviews, listening to podcasts about books, talking about books, and thinking about what book to read next. It’s really a diverse set of interests.

My mental health is improving in small, small steps. Hoping today's therapy session is a bigger step forward.

There is no such thing as a leader who is "good, except for the sexual harassment." Leadership is about wielding power, sexual harassment is mis-wielding power. It's like a cook who is good except the poisoning. That's not a good cook. That is in fact the worst you can be at cook.

In the same category: can someone teach young men not to walk in my blindspot the entire length of a street? Probably innocent, feels creepy

Things are hard, but from where I am lying in bed I can hear my husband patiently teaching my two year old how to sweep the cat litter debris out of the laundry, so it's not all bad.

There's really no good way to answer the 'how are you' question when in a depressive episode There's also not really any good way to tell people not to take it personally, it's just that you are in a depressive episode

For those following the antibiotics-messed-up-my-brain-meds saga: we have adjusted other meds to compensate and now I am not struggling as much, but am also feeling like I am sleepwalking through life. Hopefully it is temporary while everything stabilises.

My toddler is two years old today! We have lived a million lifetimes since that moment she arrived via emergency caesarean, but getting to watch her grow up has been worth it all

We have stopped the antibiotics, increased some of my mental health meds and have a good plan in place. Grateful for my GP. And so frustrated that I have been working so hard on my mental health and was even reducing some meds and a stupid thing like antibiotics have set me back so much.
