A little girl #Eckmancita's age in Minnesota, the state my dad grew up in, lost her mom yesterday. Half the country immediately said her mom had it coming. How are we supposed to live with each other when we don't even exist in the same reality?

@courtneyellis.bsky.social I saw an ad for a Benedict Cumberbatch movie, "Thing with Feathers," and hoped for a delightful avian documentary where he mispronounces "Penguin." It's a drama where he is a widower and father of two little boys, his grief manifests as a terrifying crow. 😱

We made a lifestyle change in diet because our bad eating habits and lack of exercise was being passed to the kids. I am meal-prepping 4 hours on Sunday and it's week 3 and **I am exhausted**. My husband did grocery shopping the first two weeks, but I did the shopping and prep this week.

Sometimes #Eckmancita (age 6) gets her energy out after sitting still for a long period of time by silly yelling, thrashing with aggressive hugs and kisses to whoever is sitting closest to her. Last night, she was bonkers and was yelling, "I'm so loved!" over and over again. Yes, you are. 🩷

Forbidden olives. I don't get why my dad left them out, said,"Don't eat these," and left the house. Should I clean out the jar and recycle it before he gets back? Why isn't it in the garbage yet.

Image of the shire of the Hobbit & dwarves with one dwarf holding a plate of food.

Caption:In fantasy, ever wondered why the little people (dwarves, halflings, etc) always portrayed as the best cooks?

Because Tolkein was British. To him, the concept of good food was as much of a fantasy as elves and dragons.
