Are we even sure it’s not all men at this point?

cough a lot drink a lot of water doze off get woken up by more coughing right before falling asleep realize I really have to pee run to the bathroom sit/lie back down repeat

Oh my gosh, it’s 72 degrees F in here, and I’m shivering because I caught something on our trip. I have tea, and a blanket, and Jere is going out in a bit to get some Tylenol and a Covid/flu test, but all my joints hurt and I am suffering. (In case it‘s not clear, this is just a complainy post)

This is great! Watch it to learn about carny scams, ginkgo sperm, giant millipedes, and gender essentialism

We are back from Paris, and we had a really great time showing my mom all the sights! Because she’d never been there, a lot of what we did (the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, Notre Dame) were repeat visits for me and Jere.

Paris food highlights: Armelle for galettes bretonnes (buckwheat crepes) and cider, Galeries Lafayette gourmet section for one-stop high-end patisserie shopping 🍜🍽️

Paris food highlights: Anne Caron for coffee, and Moustache for ice cream (also Berthillon for ice cream, but we’re not going to make it there this trip). 🍜🍽️

Most relatable artwork in Paris: Gustave Courbet’s Le Désespéré, at the Musée d’Orsay

Paris food highlights: Jacques Genin for chocolates, pâte de fruits, and caramels, Tout Autour du Pain for croissants and pain d’epices, Ladurée for macarons, and the marché des Enfants Rouges for food shopping and vibes 🍜🍽️

A few for the fiber artists: Penelope, a yarn winder, and a spinner, at the Musée d’Orsay 🧶

And, because I came onto this site even though I’m on vacation, now I know the latest monstrosities, so let me just say: congress, the cabinet, the courts, the media could all have tried to stop him, but they didn’t. They are all responsible. They are all complicit.

Paris food highlights: Carette on the Place du Trocadéro for hot chocolate and Viennoiserie, Mademoiselle Angelina Tea Room for tea and patisserie, and Pristine in the 9th Arr. for incredible vegetarian food 🍜🍽️

We are in Paris! I’ll post some photos when we get back, but if you want you can read along in my travel blog: notimetoulouseblog.wordpress.com/2026/04/06/p...

Apparently our house is one of the stations of the cross?

Made spinach and onion quiche with aged Gouda for my birthday dinner, and carrot cake with brown butter cream cheese frosting (Claire Saffitz’ recipe) for dessert! 🍜🍽️

And today is my birthday! I’m going to make a carrot cake, once I decide on a recipe (leaning towards King Arthur’s).

It’s the birthdays! Today it’s @jeremiahgenest.bsky.social - go wish him a happy one!

I’m not protesting today, but I’m thankful for the people who are. Stay safe out there!

Micro-trend of cop show writers realizing their protagonist is too principled to be a cop and having them quit: I see you, and I appreciate you.

Hey, we are going to Paris again, this time for a week (we went last year, and my mom was supposed to come with us, but she broke her knee, so we’re taking her now)! Please give me all the recommendations for your favorite things to do there.

Don’t know how many of you use the NYT cooking app, but I’ve recently made and enjoyed Toni Chapman’s One-Pot French Onion Rigatoni, and Eric Kim’s Spinach Egg Bites. Easy (although the rigatoni has caramelized onions, which are time consuming), budget friendly, and delicious.

Look, sometimes when people say they hate “liberals,” they mean “women.”

A couple days ago I stubbed my pinky toe really hard on my bed, and then this morning I stubbed it again on my kitchen counter, and I yelled Fuck! so loud I’m feeling guilty for possibly teaching our upstairs neighbors’ toddler a curse word.

I mean, Poker Face exists

I got up early this morning only to discover that my kid ‘forgot what day it was’ last night when they told me they needed a ride today, and now not only am I needlessly cranky, but I still have to get up early tomorrow.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Hey all, my friend Kate just opened a Poshmark store with some really cute stuff! poshmark.com/closet/hitch...

I make raku pottery. Which means clay, fire, smoke . . . and a little bit of chaos and magic.✨ These are my newest vessels from the flames. 🔥 If you feel like helping them find their people, a like or share means so much.🙏 Wishing you joy in the chaos 💙

In fifth grade we went to Fort Warren on Georges Island (in Boston Harbor), where they told us the story of the Lady in Black - a ghost that supposedly haunts the fort - then let us loose to explore. There was so much running around screaming, it was a total blast (if not very educational).

This weekend we watched Playing Gracie Darling, which is an Australian ambiguously supernatural thriller, with serious noir leanings. It’s only six episodes long, and I thought it was really well done, with great writing and acting, and beautifully shot. On Netflix, in the US at least

Simply the best modern Lovecraft adaptations

Jere has to go to Seattle next week, so we did St. Patrick’s Day dinner early: corned beef, boiled vegetables, mashed potatoes, sautéed cabbage, and non-traditional soda bread, with horseradish cream! 🍽️🍜

This vide got randomly recommended to me, and I found it very charming (even if they spent a lot of time in Cambridge) youtu.be/5I1ZmW_iPAw?...

Whew! Pokopia has eaten my brain, in the best way possible. I highly recommend it if you like Pokémon, or resource management, or exploration, or design and decoration, or anything cute and cozy, or if you just need an escape for a few (or more than a few!) hours.

I love spring in New England. Everyone is outside; some people in hats and parkas, some in shorts and t shirts, the rest are everywhere in between. Everyone is holding an iced coffee. Everything is brown and muddy, except for the parts still covered in snow. Nothing is green yet, but it will be.

“95% of supernatural experiences are sleep paralysis and kangaroos“ - my husband just now

My kid set their alarm to get up and play Pokopia today, and then woke up an hour earlier. So I guess it’s a pretty fun game

Pet peeve: people pointing out ‘AI’ in images that have been photoshopped, or even just had a filter put on them. Like, I get being annoyed at people who aggressively sharpen everything, but that’s not AI, it’s a human making bad choices.

I’m so glad someone posted this clip! I was dying watching this (and, for context, this is the second go-around with these names in the show, which makes it even more hilarious)

I don’t know if any of you are watching the current season of Cross, but I am rooting so hard for Luz and Amos, I mean Donnie, and every episode just makes me want them to win more.

One was a draftsman and one was a real estate agent, which isn’t too interesting, but a kind of cool thing is that when they were young (during WW2) they were each in the Coast Guard, but on opposite coasts.

Beans and rice are so good, and there are like, so many good combinations of them out there. This post brought to you by the rice and lentil soup with spinach and coconut milk that I just made for dinner (It was just supposed to be rice, but I added lentils and that was absolutely the right call)

I appreciate my therapist so much, but at least two-thirds of her job is reminding me to feel my feelings.

I tried a couple of demos during Next Fest, and really enjoyed: Titanium Court - a match three game where your ending board layout becomes a battlefield that you have to fight on. It’s about a faerie court, and it has a neon eighties pixelated aesthetic.

Against my will I keep hearing about Gavin Newsom and Graham Platner, and being reminded about how fucking stupid most white Democrats are. And about how a lot of Democrats who aren’t white will still vote for a white guy over anyone else. Just really fucking sick of this country right now
