Current baby development: We have been playing jazz music on the sound machine when he wakes up and we still need to finish something before grabbing him. “Thank you for calling Mom & Dad Inc. Your request is important to us. Your estimated wait time is approximately 7 minutes.”

I routinely get marketing emails from a "Jordan Person" but every single time I misread their name as Jordan Peterson and have just a split second heart attack going "WHAT? NO?!"

Prior to having a baby, I could on a general level clock if a baby born on a tv show or movie was too big to be a true newborn. Now that I have a baby, it's WAY more comical to see an oversized newborn, like WHAT?! No way that eight month old was just born. That mom would be SPLIT IN TWO NO WAY.

I get that there’s something genuinely rewarding about getting super into food and wine and noticing the subtle interplay of tastes and textures but there’s also something genuinely rewarding about getting fucked up at Olive Garden so there’s lots of beauty in the world if you are willing to look

Roughly six months into motherhood and I cannot stress enough, my brain is the equivalent of that SpongeBob episode where he forgot everything expect fine dining and breathing. Only for me it’s motherhood, and breathing. The amount of times in the earliest months I cried saying how dumb I felt 🫠

Oh no, the extremely niche lifestyle vlogger I follow is vague posting about a major and unexpected life update that surely is having a major impact to them and I keep fluctuating between weird parasocial thoughts, and mentally hitting myself with a water gun like "No! Bad! Let them LIVE!!"

Currently having a freak allergic reaction to, by my guess some new hair product, and my eyes have swollen up to crazy levels. Imagine a human Mr. Meaty character, that’s where I’m at right now.
An extremely offputting putting of a man, with red rings around his d his one visible eyes. He wears a yellow and brown polo shirt, and visor. He has thick flesh colored lips, and pale pimple pocked skin. He has swoopy yellow toned hair that covers one of his eyes, and flows slightly over the top of the visor.

The Greek mythology nerd in me is really thrilled at the strong reception of The Odyssey, and how we might get other large-scale retellings. However, the bananapants negative reactions are beyond insufferable and I am sure will only become more upsetting/bizarre as the myths get stranger themselves.

Movie promoters trying to get me to excited for tentpole film by releasing the most bland trailer devoid of any plotline. Meanwhile, I pick out what movie I want to watch next by reading the plot summary from a Wikipedia article AS GOD INTENDED.

Really hate how my brain is like “oh you are having a slightly difficult time? Please lightly maim any minor imperfection on your face as a form of stress relief. That will 100% help.” 🫠

The Bear season 5 slaps exclusively because of how frustrating and how much failure and rumination on failure proceeded it. This payoff doesn't work without constant fuck ups and repeating the same broken cycle until finally it clicks, despite it all.

If you’re declaring SUPERGIRL the end of superhero movies but let MORBIUS, VENOM 3, KRAVEN, THOR 4 and ANT-MAN 3 pass with a shrug, you are telling on yourself.

While I haven't seen Supergirl, I've seen the Discourse, and it reminds me how much it seems like female superhero films and media must be PERFECT to be liked. Idk, maybe its only an okay movie, but I've seen countless okay male hero flicks, and don't remember this much finger wagging.

Finished Yesteryear today and I keep bouncing back and forth on what I thought worked and what didn’t, and my biggest gripe right now is how I wish the 1800s time line was a lot more substantial? Like that should have fully leaned into some dark Little House on the Prairie nonsense.

Setting my lock screen that shifts on when I am at the office to a photo of my baby is big "DO IT FOR HER" from Simpsons vibes 🥲
A bulletin board reads "DO IT FOR HER" in bold black letters. This phrase is surrounded by pictures of a Maggie Simpson, a yellow hued baby with a red pacifier and blue clothing. In one prominent photo she is held by her father, Homer Simpson, a balding man in a white polo shirt. In this photo he shares a warm smile with Maggie.

Picture it: upper 80 degree overcast weather, driving on the highway with a FAT Limeade slush from Sonic, you have a happy baby in the backseat, “I’m Alright” by Kenny Loggins is blasting, and you are going home to make lemon poppyseed muffins.

Whole mixed bag of emotions on this. I’m really happy and grateful for the time I had off, wish I had a fuckton more PAID time. Also felt nice to just to be an adult, and focus on tasks that are not dictated by a tiny human learning how to be alive was also refreshing.

Hey so it’s like actually incredibly sick and twisted evil that my baby acts the cutest possible when he is peak exhausted, and if I indulge in how cute he’s being he rapidly turns into a gremlin demon from hell who refuses to nap even though that’s all he needs to fix his attitude.

Infant manicurist might be the highest degree of difficulty of the “and other duties as assigned” kind of tasks for a newborn’s mom- like I would LOVE to do nails! Fun!! My participant is much less convinced that this is a thing they need.

How’s postpartum going? Fine, except that when I do get some sleep, I wake up with this phantom sensation that I am holding/nursing the baby, and then the baby disappears and I get so confused and disoriented. Makes me feel like I’m in an A24 film or something 🥴
