They don’t want you to know this but it’s actually good for babies to have toast crumbs dropped on their heads every once in a while

Managed one pass through the Baltimore Book Fest while the baby took a carrier nap and calling it a big success. Gorgeous day for it 📚

The Wind Cave by Courtney Pasko

The daughter is tired of walking, the muscles in her thighs and calves trembling as they climb, but there’s no chance of the father turning around until he’s seen everything he came to see. The forest...

Maybe too broad an ask but if you have a favorite poem about mother/parenthood that is A) NOT about grief or death, at least not entirely and B) is actually a good poem and not hallmarky/instagrammy I’d love to read it!

The day I've been dreading for two and a half years finally happened: forgot my badge at home, didn't realize until I was at the office, and have stuff on the calendar that meant I had to do my commute twice instead of just going back to bed. I think I could've done better but it was a decent run.

Saw Indy on the big screen/35mm tonight for the first time and in addition to obviously looking and sounding gorgeous, it was SO FUN to see in a warm, all-ages crowd! Good laughs including my past-life cameo.

Watched Disclosure Day last night

Screencap of Fox Mulder from the X-Files episode "Humbug" (Season 2, episode 20). Mulder is wearing a boxy 90's gray suit and overcoat and standing in front of a trailer, posing in a somewhat heroic but mostly silly way with his hands on his hips and one foot on a stoop.

Doesn't hurt either that they cast the most charismatic leading man in cinema. Ford is funny and sometimes goofy in both franchises but never fumbles the tone or loses the audience for a minute.
