Whenever I hear my neighbor come home in his electric car, I always imagine he’s arriving in a space ship.

I hope this becomes a real lego set one day. 😀 beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Um… Star Wars explained that DECADES ago. www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

I’m about to pull a Giselle from Enchanted- open my door, sing a little ditty, and see if any animals come to help me clean my house.

One of the greatest mysteries of our universe?!? Is it how cicadas know 17 years have passed and it’s time to come out again? Or if you replace every part of a ship is it still the same ship? Or why self checkout machines are so loud? Spoiler alert. It’s none of those. www.aol.com/articles/sci...

Today is World Quantum Day! Maybe a stranger across the world heard about it at the same time as me. Then that stranger decided to post it on Bluesky. So I decided to post it on Bluesky. Would sentient beings know if they were entangled? Just a fun, silly thing to think about. worldquantumday.org

As long as they don’t discover ice-nine, we’re good. www.chemistryworld.com/news/scienti...

I loved this book: The Wildest Thing by Emily Winfield Martin.

An 1897 Georges Melies film was found and restored!! So exciting! I wouldn’t exactly call it a robot attack, more like a mechanical toy malfunction. 😀 www.npr.org/2026/02/28/n...

Finally! www.sciencealert.com/physicists-f...

Planet Unknown is a great game! Filling in every square on the last turn is SUPER satisfying!

“Super-recognizers: People with extraordinary face recognition ability.” I’ve heard of prosopagnosia, but I never thought about “the opposite of prosopagnosic—that they are exceptionally good at recognizing faces.” Very interesting! doi.org/10.3758/PBR....

I rewatched the 1982 Tron and this line stood out so much more now that AI is everywhere!

I found a board game that my 19yo loves- Heat: Pedal to the Metal! I think they love racing games based on all the hours they have played Mario Kart. Ha!

We’ve been enjoying playing LOTR Duel for Middle Earth at my house.

I had to make this little Frog Prince extra kissable for Evelyn Day’s adorable poem, “The Frog Prince Sets the Record Straight.” 😘🐸 Published in Little Thoughts Press Issue 11, Stirring Words. @evelynday.bsky.social @littlethoughtspress.com #kidlit #kidlitart #childrensmagazine #kidlitillustration

I’m excited to do the Kidlit Chuckle Challenge again this year! aprilberrybooks.com/2025-kidlit-...

Yesterday I met a girl with my same name/ nickname! I have now met 3 kids with my name. This is exciting for me because I had never met anyone with my nickname before for MY WHOLE LIFE until I met these kids!

They’re making a Muppets and Star Trek mashup? It’s the episode I never knew I wanted and now I’m way too happy about it. 😂

I’m making key lime pie for the first time. I was in the store contemplating where the key lime juice would be. An employee asked what I was looking for. Me: “Key lime juice.” Him: “I’ll help you find it.” Me: “Thank you.” Him: “Where do you think it would be?” 😂

I’m a little obsessed with this beautiful book, Home in the Woods by Eliza Wheeler. It reminds me so much of my grandma.

I finally finished the skirt for my 19yo’s Princess Peach cosplay and there’s still 5 weeks before the convention! We might actually pull off this family Peach, Waluigi, Wario, Luigi, Mario group cosplay after all! 😀

This is my favorite box so far. I love this game. It’s fantastic for 2 people that like dice battle games.

In the car… Me: Wow, the Magnolias are in bloom! My 19 year old: You’re such a nerd! You know what Magnolias are besides the professor in Pokemon. 😂

This was such a fun book by Jess Hannigan! @jesshgn.bsky.social

I took my 16 year old to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream tonight. The actors were fantastic! I love taking him to live Shakespeare plays!

I love this board game! I heard Unmatched Cobble and Fog was going out of print so I finally bought it and I’m glad I did. I love board games where you can play literary characters, especially these guys!

I just watched Thunderbolts in the theater with my son to celebrate the start of summer. 10AM is my new favorite time to go to the theater- we were the only people there! Also, the movie was great!

I don’t remember that in the movie! 😂

My 18yo started a deep discussion with me today over whether or not water benders could bend milk.

I got some garlic at the store and I haven’t seen any vampires, so I guess they were right. 😂

How can something be new AND improved? I mean, if something has been improved, then it isn’t new anymore, is it?

I finalized my birthday plans for the week. 1. Play Deception: Murder in Hong Kong with my kids. 2. Watch Lorna Doone while eating Lorna Doones. My kids objected to this activity so more cookies for me! 😂

Good times.

I loved the book Bye Land, Bye Sea by Rene Spencer and Rodolfo Montalvo @paperpig.bsky.social Such an adventurous bilingual friendship story! And thank you for those last endpapers!

There’s a Metro City Bank in my town that I can only refer to as Metrahcity Bank. Is this even a real bank or a bizarre joke played on Megamind fans?

Me: I’m going to the library. My 18 year old: Do you mean the truth-brary? This is how conversations go in my house. 😂

I went on a road trip and saw this sign- a fabulous juxtaposition of 2 town names.

I really like these books. Exactly as Planned by Tao Nyeu We are Definitely Human by X. Fang The First Week of School by Drew Beckmeyer
