[SENATOR ERIC SCHMITT]: So you’re telling me under oath that you’ve never been to Giverny? [JACK SMITH]: No, I don’t think— [SCHMITT]: WELL THEN *unveils poster* please explain this picture of you in front of a Monet! [SMITH]: That is a Manet

10YO is narrating her reorganization of the pantry shelves (against my wishes!) while I’m trying to clean the kitchen and enjoy an audiobook and it’s like this morning was designed in a lab to raise my blood pressure to unhealthy levels.

Student finally noticed the “Mrs. Frizzle thing you’ve got going on” five weeks into the semester. ALSO, shoutout to the group chat for offering me these (Blundstone) boots for the grand price of $0.

Clean Water Fest (in the rain!) was a total blast! Few pics because they’re of my kids’ painted faces, but the swag game was yet again elite (finally got the branded travel mug by winning Connect 4 as a family, and OF COURSE issue 2 of Lake Erie League!). Thanks, @neorsd.org!
Rather a lot of charming swag (stickers, water bottles, notebooks, pens, squishy poop emojis) acquired at Clean Water Fest 2026.

Ran into a kid (16) from temple on campus and was like, “oh hey, I work here,” and she replied, “oh, I do not, because I am a child.”

Disappointed! I veered from the expected professional path.* BUT, my life is really GOOD (health, lovely spouse and kids, a supportive group of friends with like values, a job at which I am paid to talk about art, lots of free time to read and nap…), so maybe 20YO me would be okay.

While I am a bit tired of all the trips, Temporary was SO GOOD at the vet (if screamy) and I got to start a new book.

Got an email today from someone I haven’t talked to (on purpose) in nearly a decade and it was just a link to a story about Oberlin, so I guess my brand remains strong.

Today, during the week I am historically most likely to bring home a kitten (much to my husband’s chagrin), I helped rescue a tiny black cat from the street and it went home with one of the other rescuers!

Pretending the days after Sept. 11, 2001 were some kind of gauzy Hallmark special when we came together as a country is nauseating and ahistorical. The country went completely insane and has not recovered

Gotta say, it feels nice to have been missed (I was out of the house for a few hours today, and now the baby cat is clingy).

I am not usually spontaneous, but today I spontaneously called my dad because we would be nearby. 8YO and I watched him play a recital and then we all went out to dinner (Lorenzo’s, for those who know). AND IT WAS GREAT.

I've been lucky and rarely missed a show I intended to see, but all the hints I dropped for my husband to get us Cake tickets a few years back for our anniversary did NOT land. Also, Belle & Sebastian, having never been in right place and time, which doesn't really count, but I'm still mad.

Hard to argue.
Being on Bluesky doesn't deliver delirious highs, but it also doesn't lead to crushing lows. Its users are almost entirely Twitter exiles who quit post-Musk, which means there isn't a cornucopia of insane takes found on Old Twitter. The main factions are annoying leftists who hate Chuck Schumer, annoying liberals who hate Chuck Schumer and annoying furries who hate Chuck Schumer.
