Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I am a bit of a mystery buff and loved the original novel (read it a few years ago) but when I heard a film was in the works I was genuinely confused bc the book is not something that I felt would easily translate to the screen! Haven’t seen it yet and the trailer did not inspire optimism… 001 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Have been there with the toddler version of this story, so glad it resolved! She now knows how to do “monkey squats”, lol. 011 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Haha I (former theater kid) was telling my spouse … he looks like he’s wandered out of a non-Equity Cats tour. This is absolutely the costume I had in mind. 020 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 19/01/2026The Bagel Deli on Capitol Hill, Seattle. They had a pastrami with Russian dressing bagel that was the best of that sauce I’ve ever had. Never been able to replicate it myself or find its equal! It was a genuinely old-school, un-fancy bagel joint. Probably closed around 2011? 000 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 18/01/2026My 2yo recently started playing “salon” with the faux plastic snips from her play doctor kit and she prefers to cut dismayingly close to the hairline! I tremble for my hair in the event of her using actual scissors someday. 020 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 09/12/2025Solidarity and same. The triple feeding for mere droplets did such a number on my mental health, as if being postpartum with a newborn isn’t hard enough. She’s now a healthy energetic toddler, all thanks to formula. 020 0

Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 30/08/2025We had to put multiple ones around our house because our then-14-year-old cat would throw up on sight of our new puppy, like clockwork, for WEEKS. Doing 1-2 plugins per 700 sq feet seemed to help her. But also who knows! 030 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 22/08/2025Our toddler brandishes bedtime books at us with the same brisk facility as a stage manager assigning sides at the third round of callbacks. Argue with her at your own peril. 030 0

Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 10/08/2025I woke up and realized that my strange dream about wrangling chubby farm critters was actually a semi-stress dream about organizing my toddler’s Fisher Price Little People barn animals. 120 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 23/07/2025Also bring a few Gatorades or electrolyte tablets for you and bridal party— it will rehydrate faster than straight water! Setting powder for your face will also help keep any makeup from sweating off, though minimal makeup is easiest in heat. 040 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 23/07/2025I was my sister’s MOH in blazing 90-degrees in a vineyard! Bring a parasol for shade, bring a second “party” dress for sometime after the ceremony (I had long since sweated thru my original dress) and possibly extra bra/unmentionables. Waterproof mascara so the sweat doesn’t run it. 140 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 01/07/2025We have a house that runs hot so we avoid oven recipes unless I’m roasting a chicken in the morning 🫠 010 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 01/07/2025We love “Asian noodle salad”, a variation on a recipe of my MIL. We use pre-cooked or canned chicken over cold capellini pasta, dressed w/Asian salad dressing (we like Annie’s Asian sesame), w/ chopped fresh veg of choice, with crumbled dry ramen noodles as a garnish. 110 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Like others on the thread we are doing a lot of thrifting & Old Navy for the toddler. I set a reminder to shop on the super cash days to buy next size/season/whatever we couldn’t thrift. We usually get a pretty deep discount that way. 020 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 11/05/2025My 21mo learned to say “I wuv yoo“ and has since said it semi-regularly to my husband for the past month +. No such phrase from her has yet been directed my way! 010 0

Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 15/04/2025In addition to fresh summer eating, we freeze them whole in freezer bags, ~1 lb per bag, and use them for pan sauces all winter long. If you like tomatoes and pasta it’s absolutely delicious. 000 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Cherry tomatoes are great for our maritime shorter summers. We got 10 lbs from 2 plants last treat w: regular harvesting. FYI if you get indeterminate varieties you may need to prune new growth later in summer to keep size manageable. Otherwise they do keep vining. 110 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 15/04/2025I grow 2 plants in one 4x4’ bed, or 1 plant per largest pot you can buy. They have enormous roots. I do add a dash of veggie fertilizer at planting time esp for pots. Full sun location, regular water (soil should be lightly damp at 1 finger deep). Mulch helps with heat waves. 100 0
Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 15/04/2025I grow tomatoes in zone 8b maritime climate in WA! Possible v similar to UK? Been backyard growing for 8 years, very obsessed. It’s too late to start from seed but plenty of time still for nursery starts. I wait till nights are 45+ degrees F to plant them out. 200 0

Julia @julia2places.bsky.social · 12/03/2025Shout out to the kind and patient staffer at my Dem Senator’s office who took my message (vote no on cloture and spending bill!) while my toddler made a much more urgent appeal in the background for MOAR TWUCKS 120 0
