it's like, reliable data governance isn't an impossibility, but it sure is inconvenient if the point is to hoover all the data.

I wrote about the end of the MAGA makeover, the aesthetic normalization of bigotry, and the mall store selling fascist sweatshirts to teenage girls. New for @theflytrapmedia.com!!

The 'MAGA Makeover' is Over, and Its Replacement is (Even More) Terrifying

Fascists are using fashion to normalize radical perspectives and groups into normie society.

I just joined the Bramily to get early access to buy tickets for the Burn the Setlist tour. Is this what it feels like to be a BTS stan?

Is it weaponized incompetence or is my husband truly gifted at making espresso, pour over, drip coffee, rice, taking out the trash, setting up utilities, driving?

my we-are-parents-who-also-work-in-tech-but-mostly-like-to-send-each-other-funny-millennial-reels-on-ig group chat is talking about AI psychosis and taxes. we are the oldest people in existence I think?

The number of reminders that we have gotten that there is no school tomorrow is A LOT. Like geez I get it you don't want to see my kids if you don't have to.

The toddler desperately wants to bring a lunch box to school (we don't have one bc she gets free lunch s/o Chicago public schools) so she found an old Bose headphone case and is real excited to put it in The Bin That Is For Lunchboxes

My persistent intrusive thought is "what if I used coffee instead of water in my oatmeal?"

The husband pulled a real dad move with the laundry bc he gave the toddler one of the teen's shirts (that she still wears) bc he decided that it was too small. Meanwhile it looks like the toddler will grow into it in a year.

021

julie @jkru.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

the toddler's school is having a fundraiser to help send each grade on 4 field trips. This is disincentivizing to me bc I feel like taking a large group of 4 year olds out into the wild FOUR separate times is bad for teacher retention.

The teen is telling the toddler about AI slop and described it as "bad content that will melt your brain" to which the toddler exclaimed, "ewww yut!"

the toddler is super mad at the husband and is calling him "Dad" (instead of dada) to try to hurt his feelings.

She's in high school and she's grown since you saw her in January. Like I thought she was supposed to be done growing. wtf? And also that the toddler exists and is probably not actually a toddler

I have to write a paper for work, but I can only really write in the middle of the night. I just made myself a 1AM coffee and it's giving me flashbacks to when @astrochris.bsky.social and I wrote a paper over gchat and then my thesis advisor got mad at me for publishing in PASP and having a baby.

Also the fact that young women want to be treated well by their romantic partners is seen as newsworthy is telling.

The husband will often open my car door but not in a chivalry is not dead way. More like a no you cannot hide from our children in the garage way.

If I didn't have a flexible job and my husband wasn't a SAHD, I'm not sure how we'd get the kids to school tomorrow. One needs to be driven (doesn't qualify for the bus) and the other is supposed to take the bus but the company got her schedule wrong and logistics have not yet been fixed.

020

julie @jkru.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Selective enrollment students don't qualify for the buses and the bus schedule is not 100% set yet. It sometimes takes a couple weeks for bus-eligible children to actually get the bus to pick them up/take them home bc of the logistical overhead.

Back to school with one kid is exciting and bittersweet. Back to school with 2 kids who go to different schools a mile from home in opposite directions with the same start time and one starts today and the other starts tomorrow is a cry for help.

Like people do 1:12 miniature paintings on canvases that size! Meanwhile I have to use some nail brushes sideways bc they're too big for my corn kernel sized nails. 🥲

More dudes should paint their nails bc their nail beds are so big. The husband's pinky nail is larger than all my nails but my thumb. So much space for nail art
