Match #2: TIED, 4-4. In the novice league, when you're out of time, you're out of time, so that's what goes on our permanent record. Still, not a loss!

It might be more of a BC thing. If you only need the cough treated, it's very effective and a whole lot tastier than Buckley's. I suspect it's mostly honey, haha. It does require a certain amount of willingness to ingest herbs you may have never heard of.

...and our schedule is extremely regular. We eat at 6, 11, and 5 every day, for example, and we'd have to start thinking in terms of 7, 12, and 6. Much more of an adjustment than an ordinary time change, imo. But might be worth doing for the daylight relative to sleep times.

Telltale Hartman @rachelhartmanbooks.com · 04/10/2026

S has just suggested that since BC is now stuck on permanent DST (boo!) we could just...change OUR schedules to better match with daylight hours. We actually have enough flexibility to move everything up an hour. It's going to be a mental challenge, haha, because it's been a long time...

As promised, the cover reveal for my ridiculous vampire novel, FANGS NOT INCLUDED, coming 25 May 2027!!! 🧛🏾‍♀️🧛🏾‍♀️🧛🏾‍♀️ (Illustration by Kushiaania; cover design by Julia Tyler and Alison Klapthor.) www.harpercollins.com/products/fan...

A blue background with the text "Fangs Out 05/25/2027" and a cover with four vampiric girls on it. The main one, a rakshasi, is holding a camera and filming. The title says, "Fangs Not Included."

S seems to be talking to his mom (in the US) about the trade war: "So, first of all, you're basing your questions on a false premise, which is that he's telling the truth." The fun of talking to (even sympathetic) US-based relatives in these trying times!

The City of Vancouver has just posted a "Yellow Rain Warning" and I have questions. Well, one question.

I managed to mostly not know any of this until today. This detail is new to me. The horror coursing through my body feels like poison. My God, men. Decide RIGHT FUCKING NOW what you'll do if a woman is sexually harassed or assaulted in your vicinity. Ask another man to do the same. TALK ABOUT IT.

BOOOOOOOO!!!! Actually, I should add that to the blessing list: our GP, who looked at the math teacher's form and said, we're just going to ignore that one.

And ten million blessings upon the therapist we finally found, who was "cool" enough for a teenage boy to take seriously, and who thought B was a freaking delight, which he was and is. And I need to stop ranting, haha, but please, don't ever say the diagnosis is phony and no one needs meds

Telltale Hartman @rachelhartmanbooks.com · 28/09/2026

And don't get me started on the math teacher we asked to vouch for his challenges. She knew his struggles in excruciating detail, but apparently believed kids are overmedicated and wouldn't fill out the questionnaire honestly. Legos constantly underfoot, wherever she may be!

Telltale Hartman @rachelhartmanbooks.com · 28/09/2026

In fact, we got a lot of bad advice from psychologists who were like, "He's on the borderline, and he's so bright he can probably compensate for it!" when in reality he was already compensating frantically, which is why it appeared like he was on the borderline

My biggest regret as a parent is that we just didn't understand what it was like for him, and insist on medication sooner.

Telltale Hartman @rachelhartmanbooks.com · 28/09/2026

Once we finally persuaded him to try meds (we couldn't make him; over age 14 in BC, he gets to choose), that wasn't the end of it, there was a TON of therapy to get through because he didn't TRUST US. Also, meds don't do your homework for you, it turns out
