It was the “drove all the way to Brooklyn” that made me take sides.

Well, I don’t know if anyone needs these, but heads up that Yosemite IS actually perfect and that visiting California after years in New York DID kind of heal me in a way?

Welcome to American capitalism, where you replace meal service on long haul domestic flights with a tv screen that includes all movies and shows ever produced. Enjoy!

Me: "Hmm maybe I should take up ocean swimming, let me see what the internet has to say..." American sources: "THE OCEAN WILL KILL YOU" Australian sources: "Welcome, the ocean is a place of wonder and a spectacular way to exercise and connect with nature, join us--"

Kid needs to be on his bus by 6:30 in the morning, so that means I can be at the beach by 7:30 for a morning ocean swim and that, my friends, is why I pay New York City rent.

Just assuming these peaches I painted last night are harbingers of good news and fortune for no reason at all

Time for ✨Another Painting (TM) 🌈✨ Been working on a painting of a few very wispy poppies for a commission of sorts and wanted to share how she’s evolving! Probably gonna clean up the background a bit.

BABY DUCK ALERT BABY DUCK ALERT (we are duck sitting the science class ducklings and they are sitting in their own poop BUT they are also perfect)

Two ducklings sleeping next to each other although one does have its eye open

Another day lamenting being born a woman, thus ensuring I can never play "Little Brother" in Ragtime.

New York is the kindest city in the US unless one of our own kind (Elmo) profoundly betrays us (did not overtly root for the Knicks). Then all bets are off.

I dunno, I just think it’s really brave of me to get a haircut a few days before my period starts.

One of my favorite things about Mamdani is that even if he doesn’t get everything done, you KNOW he’s just the biggest pain in the ass to the most establishment Democrats on Earth and I live for that.

Shoutout to the vibes of New York City this morning, which can be summed up best as “significant percentage of people I saw riding bikes in the park were also dancing at the same time.”

No one: Absolutely no one, just complete silence: Just fully complete silence, seriously, no one said anything: Five year old, in a different room: “…WHAT THE GOD!”

Five year old: “Where are we again?” Me: “Massachusetts.” Five year old: “Massa-cheezits?” Me: “No Massachu—actually, yeah, Massacheezits.”

Not Jenna Bush Hager’s “I don’t think so, honey” rant being about book banning as though her father was not the blueprint for that!

The only real thing to do after melting in your apartment for two days is go out for a morning walk in the 60 degree follow up weather

Pink roses that I bonded with a neighbor over when we both stopped to smell them

I want to say Wisteria but actually I have no idea so if someone else knows what these hanging white blossoms are, let me know!

My five year old’s current special interest is “churches,” so we perused some @nylandmarks.bsky.social Sacred Sites on Sunday so he could see both a temple and a new church!

Some kids watch Saturday morning cartoons. And some kids make you search Youtube to find the math videos that their schools use to aid in math lessons. Guess which kid lives with me.

No one prepared me for the first time I’d hear my kid whisper an exasperated “Oh my God” with the most intense New York accent I’ve ever heard in my life

I'm so insufferable that I would absolutely sing "Pity the Child" if I ever did MISCAST, just in case you needed to know who *I* was.

Alright, well things are weird so you know what time it is: slutty tulips and flowers from the neighborhood time!!

Purple tulip surrounded by fallen cherry blossoms in someone’s front…plot??

Who IS she? A dark red purplish tulip who I am obsessed with

Oh no, I tried to engage with discourse on Threads about why advocating for child-free spaces is actually kind of ableism and ya know what, that's on me.
