Me: What book should we read next? 5 y-o: Something with dragons. And goblins. And elves. But mostly dragons. Me, desperately trying to appear chill: Oh yeah, I think I know a book like that.

My 5 y-o is obsessed with 'Drops of Jupiter' by Train and requests it every time we get into the car. No parenting book has prepared me for this.

Tragic: my kids say 'sneakers'. RIP the word 'sandshoes'. You were too nichely Queensland for this world.

I had an exquisitely detailed dream last night that I found a tiny, flea-ridden, grey and white kitten in the bush and adopted it. Just posting this as proof in case the Cat Distribution System sends applications via dreams now.

Pretty sure my 2 y-o is dropping his nap, which seems very unfair. THE NAP WAS NOT FOR HIM. IT WAS FOR ME.

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

As a heavily tattooed person, it's soooo funny when I wear short sleeves for the first hot spring day after winter and do a double take at a tattoo I had completely forgotten was on my own body.

We went to the orientation for my son's new school for when he starts prep next year. They don't have a librarian!! One of the teachers suggested it was a funding issue. I'm a bit horrified. I legitimately don't think I'd be a author without the influence of my primary school librarian.

5yo (who is refracting the world through gender lately): 2yo's favourite colour is pink and he has a piggy tail. But...we call him a boy. So, is he a boy or a girl? 2yo: (indignantly) I'm a baby!!!

Incredibly funny that you can be like I've read Assassin's Apprentice, Royal Assassin and Assassin's Quest, over 500,000 words in the Realm of the Elderlings books, and Robin Hobb fans will be like oh amazing! So you've just read the foreword, then!

Teachers, I have a few questions about AI! Do your kids interact with it? Oblivious to it? Hate it? Love it? And what about you yourself? Does it help you in your work? Would you avoid it like the plague?

Having spiny leaf insects as pets for kids! Pros: - They are cute and easy to maintain! Cons: - Sometimes you'll realise the reason the two year old has been so quiet is because the largest leaf insect is currently riding a toy monster truck.

Hello, I am an attendant in an art gallery :) Woah, what's that over there? A overwhelmed mum trying desperately to calm her toddler down as they're exiting the gallery? I'd better run up to her just to remind her that the sultana clutched in her toddler's tiny wrathful fist is FORBIDDEN.

Completely rude of the Australian parliament to have not considered the plight of middle grade/young adult writers when implementing the under 16s social media ban. So many convenient plot contrivances aided by social media! All gone!!!!!!!!!!!

My toddler got his first party invitation 😁 My toddler got his first party invitation and it's AI designed 😬 My toddler got his first party invitation, it's AI, AND!!! the parents uploaded their kid's face to use in the invitation, so I assume Chatgpt now legally owns their child.
