Omg I didn’t realize Everything Everywhere All at Once was It’s a Wonderful Life but Nietzschean.

My 13 yo loves sad books. Convinced her to watch a sad movie with me: Hamnet. May have miscalculated. Put on SNL with Ryan Gosling to counter balance. Am I a bad parent?

$95 b return on a $37 b investment. Federally funded research is a good return - even without, you know, remarkably effective new treatments for cancer, curing genetic disorders, making progress and improving the lives of those with neurodegenerative disease, etc. www.forbes.com/sites/michae...

Me: it smells like pie in the house, right? Partner: it’s probably just the butter. Me: oh yeah…but we should make pie soon, right?

Two frying pans: left pan contains meat paella and right pan contains veggie paella.

“It’s a very complicated situation.” 8 yo: “you’ve said complicated like 18 times.” “That’s being a grown up.”

Attempt no. 1 at chocolate geniose for a buche de Noel (for daughter’s French class): delicious but very broken upon rolling. Stay tuned for attempt no. 2. #bakingsky #howdowetagthingshere

It’s genuinely shocking if you’re remotely familiar with the basic facts of trans care and youth medicine. It is *profoundly* difficult to access gender-affirming care as a minor and the Times has printed more than a dozen articles implying that it is too easy.

Slight wicked spoilers: my 12 yo and I both got excited at the KC and IM cameos. After the movie, she said she was excited to see Elsa and thought that’s what I was excited about too 😳
