Hey friends, I was really hoping it wouldn't come to this, but I've set up a Go-Fund-Me. We're really struggling and I dont have a lot of options right now. gofund.me/ee8dce70c

Landlord sold the building we live in. So now I need to find a new place to live and save up to move while also paying more in rent. Fuck my entire life.

So i started a new job that doesn't allow me to work holidays and fuck do I miss the excuse of "Oh, sorry, I cant I work that day."

Much better...

If you ever wanted to go enjoy the beauty of Alaska, do it in the next few years. White House just signed H.J. Res 106 & 131 which will lead to immence damage to the land for generations to come. 🙃

This is what raising him right looks like.

We all know the real reason Tarantino has beef. Mathew Lillard has a near perfect score on Wikifeets. Tarantino only has a 2.5.

"Video games are so violent!" ... my kid just spent 3 hours digging a hole in a game called "a game about digging a hole".

Just got back from FNAF 2 and ofc my dorky ass son got a pizza. Lol. It was great, and definitely looking forward to the rest.

Just got back from Littlw Man's winter party for TKD. His award this year was the "Dynamic Duo" award with his friend who started at the same time as him. They're both competitive (in a good way) and were paired for weapons patterns for the Demo team. (Little Man insists *he* is Batman)

This is enough books for a 4 day weekend, right?

So apparently shooting your friends with roman candles *isn't* a universal experience? whaaaat

Dont wanna argue about how making chili with beans is wrong, but making chili WITHOUT CHILI is just criminal.

There was a new Count of Monte Cristo movie released last year and NONE OF YOU asked me about it? I clearly need to revise my brand.

Me: would you tell me if you were being bullied at school? Little man: im being bullied at home Me: but you'd tell me if you have problems at school, right?

What the fuck is this shit?!

Went dancing tonight

Nights like tonight I miss living in Alaska.

If you want further proof im a huge bookworm, I have a whole shelf that is filled with books so old they don't have an ISBN.

I have a holiday today, but the little man doesnt. So it seems like a good day to clean the house (its even nice enough to have the back door open). Dusting the bookshelves and my ADHD brain decides today is the day im going to cataloge all my physical books.

So Addy, what derailed your DnD campaign today? We were arguing about types of teeth various humanoids like minotaurs and simic hybrids would have. Took like 45 minutes out of our campaign.

Settle an argument: a hot dog is A. A taco B. A sub

Listen, I don't give parenting advice much, but I'll say this: ensure that your childrens favorite soda, ice cream flavor, and type of candy are different from yours.

So i don't police little man's interactions with his friends because I trust him, but i was swapping the laundry over and overheard him say "misogyny is a skill issue" to his friends and then explain the Halo 3 study to the group he's gaming with. Clearly I've done something right.

So with the east wing being demolished, does this means Mel doesn't have to fake decorating for Christmas this year?

It's Spooky season so rewatching Supernatural and 'Family Remains' is still one of episodes that creep me out the most.

*jackass Also, LM the whole movie: "That's where that gif came from?!" "That's where thay quote came from?!"

Introducing LM to Scott Pilgrim vs the world. In the first 10 minutes: LM: so Scott's kinda a jackets Me: yeah LM: does he get better? Me: uh...

Apple cinnamon > pumpkin spice

In this house, when we see someone is having a bad time, we dont say, "You can talk to me about anything." We say, "Let's go for a drive." And then we get dilly bars from DQ and let them pick the music and drive around until they're ready to talk. And thats fucking perfect.

So, I never bought Hogwarts Legacy because I refuse to give that witch more of my money, but it's free on gamepass now, and I've heard that despite her it's actually is pretty inclusive of LGBTQIA peoples, so maybe I'll give it a try?

I feel very strongly that Green Day needs to re-release the album American Idiot with all the updated lyrics they've been doing at their concerts recently.

Rewatching Superman now that it's streaming, and I have never and will never get Lois because there's no way in hell I'd let him walk out after that argument. Like, did you SEE HIM?

Other parents when their teenagers cuss: Language! Meanwhile, LM & I sang the entirety of "2 minutes notice" from Helluva Boss on the car ride home.

Working on Lil man's costume. He's proud of this one.

lol

He got a new trophy for patterns and a medal for board breaking. He went up a bracket, so his competition was tougher, but he still did very well. So proud of him.

Little man is hoping to add to his trophy collection today!

"Whats it like being a millennial mother?"

My baby sister (not an actual baby, she's a year younger than LM) got a cell phone, and she's been texting me pictures of her cuddling with her pets every night. 🥰

For those of you keeping score at home, no, he didn't stay home today. Apparently, he had a lab in his Bio Med class he didn't want to miss. Idk how he turned out so responsible and mature.

Downloaded Silksong since it launched after Little Man had to go to school, and made sure both his controllers were on the chargers. I also restocked his mini fridge and snack basket, including a few of his favorite candies as a treat. Dinner tonight is just gonna be pizza.

Little Man: can I skip school Friday? Me: ... why? LM: Silksong comes out tomorrow. Me: .... Me: sure. LM: wait, really? Me: I took the day off when Skyrim dripped. LM: ... Me: I'm not a hypocrite.

Little Man is officially a 2nd degree black belt. He's on as assistant instructer for another year, but this time next year, he will likely be a full-fledged instructor. Im so freaking proud.

LM showed me a tiktok that uses the audio from an episode of Charlie the Unicorn. I asked if he knew what that was from, and he said no. So now he's getting a history of the internet lesson.

Little Man is listening to All Time Low and practicing with his throwing daggers. I think this is as close as he's gonna get to a teenage rebellion phase.

Fucking FINALLY. We get a Fantastic Four adaption that remembers they are a superhero team second, and a family first. And Sue Storm is exactly the female superhero I wish I had as a girl.

When Little Man was actually little, I used to love when he'd come to me for help when he got stuck in a video game. I loved being able to help him when there was something he couldn't do yet. He is now better at gaming than me. 😭

Little Man and I saw the new Superman movie today. It's probably my favorite characterization of him (and the supporting cast) since the OG animated series.

Inches classic discussion of book vs. movie adaptation someone mentioned that STARSHIP TROOPERS is a bad adaptation for a good book, and I just... WAT.
