You know sh¹t's bad when my placid spouse starts ranting about rust-resistant wheat on the internet. You don't want to make a cereal lab scientist angry... you... would probably still like him when he's angry, but he's also much smarter than you.

You want a scandal? Three different seed companies used the same artwork for their catalogue covers in 1902. But no, you're not ready for that type of controversy.

Both of my kids are sick, and so they wanted to take a bath together (the older has refused lately). Younger: I knew you were going to take a bath with me, so I'm going to pee in the toilet instead of the bath water! Older: ...umm. Thank you? Sisterly love.

I mean. It's clear that the natural order of things is that Harrison Butker should have just stayed in the kitchen.

"Stop all hate" is giving serious "all lives matter" energy. 🤮

We haven't really been watching, but we turned on the Super Bowl for the halftime show before kids' bedtime. The whole stadium and MY CHILDREN singing along to "and it's prolly a-MINOR" is hilarious to me.

I hated group projects as a kid. I couldn't bear to fail and I was the "gifted kid" so I would end up doing... pretty much all the work. So this FAFO* period in history is untenable. Because I did not FA. But I still have to FO. *fuck around & find out.

Absolutely not, "doll with a soul". Do you want a haunting? Because that's how we get a haunting.

Today my kid checked out a library book FOR ME. The book is @alexgino.bsky.social's "Melissa". "Let me know if you have any questions about it!" Modeling what I say to her. As if I've not lived 40+ years on this earth. "You're going to love it, mommy. I'll read next to you." This is the dream.

Just some stuff I've been making because my spousal unit bought shrinky dink plastic with no regard for my tendency to fixate on new crafts.

If you had asked college-aged me in 2004 if someday we'd be amused and delighted by GWB...I'd have laughed and laughed. Cried. Then laughed again. What a thing 20 years can be.

It was 7 degrees (F) when I took the children out to the bus this morning. "Mommy, it feels so WARM!" And you know what? It did. Minnesota children.

I tossed up another account to separate my crafting and such. I never know if it's right to segment or not. I'm just trying not to annoy people. It's @craftsubversive.bsky.social

Hear me out. With... whatever is going to happen next... could we at least get 4 more years of Lower Decks?

I'm not so interested in the doom and gloom right now because I have children to raise, and it's my job to teach them how to try to make things better-- as we have tried to incrementally make things better. I'm not saying I love this part of my job.

The people righteously proclaiming that they "never even downloaded tiktok anyway" when every video they ever shared on FB or insta was a 2 week old tiktok.

My 3rd grader got a chance to pick the class music during free time, today, as long as it wasn't inappropriate. She picked Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right" and Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It." I just...I can't explain.

SNARK TREK CONTINUES: TOS S1 Ep6: Mudd's Women Rating: 6/10 This episode is just a LOT of women looking at everyone like they want to f*ck everything all the time. But guess what we learn? It's all a placebo! The thing that makes you beautiful to yourself and others is CONFIDENCE. 1/2

Level of personal anxiety: Watching flu/norovirus/covid cases in MN tick up precipitously...having an incredibly busy January work-travel schedule... ...and having two kids in elementary school. There's no maximum limit to my "WASH YOUR HANDS AGAIN, BABIES" nagging that I'm doing.

After resisting it vigorously the first time, the kids are watching Sound of Music AGAIN. 9yo [deadpan]: Oh look. It's the Nazis. And what do the Nazis do? [Beat] Ruin everything.

My uncle passed away this morning and he was so freaking cool and nice and -good-... and there are so many evil people who are still around -- and living longer-- and it's deeply unfair.

My kids watched the second-to-last episode of Lower Decks today. We had time to watch another, but they refused. Not because they didn't want to... because my 9yo couldn't stand the thought of the series being over, yet.

My new neighbors only speak Pashto. I only speak English (competently). Today at the bus stop we all spoke fluent snowball fight. The joy of new snow is transcendent. THIS is Minnesota.
