And that's a wrap on Blood Mirror! Not bad, finishing it in four days. Tomorrow I'll dive into the finale, The Burning White, but for now, there's a little boy demanding snuggles. 💜 🪐📚

Blue's Clues has apparently, at least temporarily, been added to the 2yo's list of acceptable shows (there's 2 now! So exciting!). And yall, I will forever love Steve, but Josh is just SO adorable.

I think it went well! There's office cats and a lot of flexibility for mom life. Decent pay for part time with hours arranged around kid pick up times. I'd be dealing with artists and authors and dancers and community organizers and I'm kind of loving the vibe.

I used to be that person who was ALWAYS cold. Now ever since I had the now 2yo, I exist in a big hot flash. It's snowing, my skin is cold, but any skin with even the lightest layers keeps getting waves of heat. Like living in a fever that my body won't admit is a fever. So weird.

Why do my children attempt to re-merge with my body while we sleep?! And lately they've BOTH, INDEPENDENTLY, WHICHEVER ONE HAS CLAIMED THE CENTER, taken to burying their head under my pillow. Do you wish to be smothered?! Sleepy me just moves the pillow, and then again, til it's falling off the bed

I made a post about being exhausted but the kid made me switch tabs before I posted and now it's gone because bluesky has no... object permanence?

Returning to hardbacks: I keep trying to swipe pages and press and hold to get word definitions. It does not work.

We went to the Natural Science Museum today. The kids are tired. I am utterly exhausted. This alligator pile has a penny. I feel like there should be warnings on walking paths for when there will be massive switchback stairs. Ya know, in case of strollers or wheelchairs or something.

How do I tell the algorithm that yes I do absolutely want to see horsey art but not really NSFW furry horsey art? 🥴 I think Sugar would disown me

This is REALLY hitting me as I bring up boys. I've been told my entire life that I could do anything a boy could do, but there's so many things that my boys aren't supposed to be allowed to enjoy.

Finished The Broken Eye, now on to book 4/5, Blood Mirror! These last two I have in hardbacks, so back to toting big books around. #Lightbringer 🪐📚

Women couldn’t have their own credit until 1974. Marital rape became illegal nationwide in 1994. We are ONE generation into women having a CHANCE at life & it’s proved so intolerable America would rather end itself than allow such a thing to continue.

Cold weather hound feeding at the kennels! Got away without too much mud and slobber on me, but two of the assholes decided to fight over their food so I'm blood smeared instead 😑 Now time to get prettied up for tonight 😝

I am getting SO MUCH PRESSURE to cut this boy's hair. Especially when I've man bunned him to keep it out of his perpetual snot fountain. I AM NOT READY
