Drinking from my Trent Reznor mug and the baby pointed at it and said "Dada," and it's like yes, this is our spiritual father

A “30 for 30” about the last 10 days of my life: moving into a new place, the baby getting Covid at daycare, then all of us getting Covid, then the baby getting a double ear infection and having respiratory issues just in time for his 1st birthday. (We will all be fine, but WOOF)

I own so many copies and editions of "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek," I owe this woman so much for her glorious writing. I also had no idea Maggie Nelson was her literary executor! Rest in peace, Annie Dillard 🕊️

Might make a bot that messages my two BFFs to check in on me when I'm listening to a lot of Fiona Apple.

One of the wildest things about motherhood so far is I can smell when my baby is sick

Why does buying a new shower curtain always trigger an existential crisis for me

The funny thing about people who make you sign NDAs is they always tell on themselves worse than I ever could. (Despite muting/blocking, etc, my former employer is coming across my timeline via an article link)

Today the pediatrician said about my baby "He's in the 99th percentile for cuteness; the scale doesn't go to 100" and when I tell you I ate that shit up with a SPOON

It is extremely funny to see my generation as parents. Just saw Rage Against the Machine and Fiona Apple t-shirts at daycare dropoff (I was wearing a David Lynch sweatshirt).

I’m in the waiting room for a mammogram and there’s a lady who’s conservatively 97 years old and can’t hear, and they keep asking her “HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU GOT YOUR PERIOD” at top volume and she’s repeatedly responding “never ask a lady her age”

Two firetrucks of firefighters waving at my baby while he says "TRUCK TRUCK TRUCK TRUCK" and wiggles in delight, I'm crying my bitch-ass eyes out

My boy turned 10 months old the other day, and oh man, every age has been my favorite age, but this one is in the top 10 for sure.
My son, holding a book in front of his face, chunky legs on display.

The sad/happy meme, where the sad person is captioned "Me during 4th of july fireworks in my neighborhood" and the happy person is captioned "me during mexico winning a world cup game fireworks in my neighborhood"

Nothing makes me feel older than watching the NBA draft. These guys look like my literal 9 month old baby doing the two-people-in-a-trench-coat bit.

LA will really use any excuse to set off fireworks -- my neighbors with Lakers flags all over their house and cars are lighting it up for the Knicks lmao

If I became a trillionaire, I would not stay a trillionaire because I'd just...not keep all of that? I also wouldn't be a nazi.

I need to take a bereavement day. The hours I spent here, the gallons of coffee and pea soup I consumed, the pages and pages of books I read at the counter. THE SIGNED PHOTO OF ALF ON THE WALL. 😫

You know when you forget a hair tie and go about your day feeling like one of those dogs in a hoarder house that gets rescued and they have to cut off 30 pounds of their fur just so they can walk and see again?

I saw the best indie musicians of my generation destroyed by LiveNation, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the tech jobs at LinkedIn looking for an angry fix

My phone autocorrected "soul mate" to "soup mate" and actually, I'd rather have one of those

Being a parent has made me so wonderfully delusional. I just had the earnest thought "Ooh maybe I should pitch a gallery show of a series of photos of my son sleeping on his tummy with his tiny tush up in the air!"

Forever missing Prince 💜☔️ Here's a piece I wrote a couple of years ago about the time I got to work with him. www.pastemagazine.com/music/prince...

Prince’s Hand Warmers
It all started with an email to my boss, Zooey Deschanel. Prince said he loved 'New Girl' and wanted to be on it. We were sure it was a prank.
