fun new twist: I start overheating walking home from the bus stop in our ridiculous 94° weather, which means breakthrough nausea can’t wait for real summer

I have a grudge against Baby Yoda because I do not find it cute and yet 99.99999% of Star Wars-themed baby clothes now feature that little gremlin

If the place is good there is no wrong taco order at any time of day for any meal.

ALX hive mind: any strong feelings on daycares in Del Ray/advice on how far in advance to get on waiting lists?

tried going all the way off the last anti-nausea med yesterday and nope, we are not there yet and today was bad begging this kid to keep growing but also hurry up and quit with the specific hormone storm behind the HG

I voted by mail for the first time—thank god VA makes that easy—because I was too sick to go in person. I am so incredibly angry that I made the extra effort and we WON and SCOVA trashed our maps for fun anyway

i have been writing about the virginia supreme court decision with a certain amount of analytical detachment but if i’m being honest i’m also fucking furious i took the time to go vote and then my ballot got tossed out by these dipshits

how is pregnancy so far? WELL. we had a week or two of being excited and have been dealing with the living hell that is hyperemesis gravidarum ever since

we’re shopping a different part of the bookstore these days… our future reader debuts this October

dawg I had to revive my Bad Place account for book proposal reasons and right now they are losing their minds at me for saying The Odyssey is not a true story

on the lowest effective dose of my last med and doing okay and the end really might be in sight 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

pointed out a neighbor’s pro-Braddock bike lanes sign to my husband and he asked if I wanted one for our house, not knowing the vote is in two days we may have been a tiny bit preoccupied this spring

I am finally able to start watching Maul: Shadow Lord and: it’s phenomenal

pack SCOVA too I don't give a fuck

I’m now off two of my three main meds and so far my symptoms haven’t come back and I should get to start decreasing the dosage of the third next week 🤞🏻🤞🏻

new achievement: wearing pants that aren’t sweatpants I’m so close to actually being healthy again

folded some towels! helped my husband put up groceries!! cannot believe how excited I am about doing chores!!!

Remember kids

recovery milestone unlocked: loaded the dishwasher for the first time in two months 🎉

actually it is important to my recovery from illness that I eat a handful of peanut M&M’s for first breakfast every morning #health #protip

I can’t go this time so that means all y’all need to buy yourselves at least one extra book to make up the difference

may we all strive to fulfill the promise of the Virginia state flag (tits out, tyrants underfoot)

going to get wild today and attempt to read a book for the first time in over a month (for context I have been super sick since the start of March)

if you ever see me accidentally post my drafts no you didn’t, please

We understand the concerns about the predicted storms not reaching their potential today. That said, we still have one more evening round to come, which may bring a burst of wind. Tomorrow, we'll post a discussion on what limited some of the storm activity today.

whenever a forecasted tornado outbreak fails to materialize (🤞🏻) I think of Joplin and thank my lucky stars wild that it will be 15 years this spring things can get so bad, so fast

3:36 pm: Tornado watch set to run until 7p was canceled early. Risk of tornadoes much diminished after midday showers/storms. Not impossible another watch comes later, and not entirely out of woods until a front passes. Damaging wind gusts may accompany front. Sim radar snapshot at 9p shown.

READ THEORY (Discworld)

NEW: Tornado watch issued for entire area until 7 p.m. NWS has issued a tornado watch for the entire region until 7 p.m. Remember that a watch means ingredients are in place for tornadoes, not a guarantee. But if a WARNING is issued, seek shelter immediately. Updates at cwg.live

on the plus side being sick means I was too out of it to panic about tornado potential until this morning

The City of Alexandria is under a tornado watch until 7 p.m., March 16. Conditions are favorable for tornadoes. For more information, go to alexandriava.gov/Alert.

you guys all know how I feel about this book - it's exceptional and if you haven't read it I cannot encourage you strongly enough to do so

letting go of the sword she hadn’t realized she was still holding > letting go of the breath she hadn’t realized she was still holding

my husband warned me not to look at my phone if I wanted to get back to sleep but it’s too late because I could hear him cursing at the news from a floor away

just spent an hour catching up on y’all’s T&PB liveskeets this morning and a) wow; b) WOW; c) thank you x a million to everyone who stayed up forever and spoke up in favor of the bike lanes
