Cadbury Chocolate Egg season has been over for months and I still feel the occasional pang of sadness over it. Until we meet again, my beloved eggies…

Today Robin and I went for a stroller walk on some errands and I learned that my neighborhood’s infrastructure, adequate for an unencumbered, reasonably fit adult on foot, are not quite as good for pushing a stroller

sometimes I imagine it will happen in the middle of the night. I will wake for an early morning nursing session, happen to glance at my phone, see the news, and have the unparalleled joy of waking my housemates to tell them. Then, breakfast tacos.

Right next to the JCPOA guys, DEI may be the most vindicated thing in America. These guys get rid of DEI and immediately *instantly* every position of authority is flooded by a wave of talentless hack mediocrities, each one more corrupt and venal than the last.

Chuds are always like "Why don't we have Men's Studies or Whites Studies?" and they're absolutely right. I need many people with PhDs figuring out what the hell is going on here.

You know, one thing that‘s been fun about having and raising children in a non-nuclear family is I can see how much we delight people.

Homosexuality *does* have a place in America, and it is called "Oakland, California."

Waymo's California robotaxis are driving empty almost half the time they're on the road. That's...a lot of new traffic congestion for the money and usefulness....

Introducing everything I do this way henceforth “In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, I have changed my sheets” “In a sign of Strength and Fortitude, I have taken out the compost“

Today in the mail I got a rather large bill for “newborn resuscitation,” which insurance only partially covered, and a letter from the hospital asking for a $25 donation

Btw if the senate wasn’t full of cowards they’d impeach him

Me: “Thats why Final Fantasy X is at least 45% of why I’m gay“ @louisathelast.bsky.social: “Thats the one with the outfits?” Me: “No, that would be Final Fantasy X-2, which constitutes an additional 10%”

Welcome to Pride Month!

welcome to bluesky, the website for 38 year olds. this is the default reply

Shania Twain doesn’t know what she’s talking about. The best thing about being a woman is the wider range of culturally sanctioned emotional expression. Also, the clothes are better.

I’m really looking on the bright side of chronic sleep debt. I can drink black tea any time of the day or night and it will not impede my falling asleep at all. This is a great benefit.

Big fan of Raisin Bran because my mom let me put a spoonful of sugar on top and I was pretty generous with what constituted a spoonful

happy first day of pride 🌈

This is true of me too which is a problem as I do work in marketing professionally

I have an overtired baby who won’t sleep and a migraine ✌️

After eight weeks of being snuggled in my home with my newborn I am entering my “leaving the house“ era. I am googling farmers market hours, I am rolling into church 15 minutes late so I can talk to other adults at coffee hour. Strap in Robin, Mom’s antsy.

You're never the weirdest person at the Renaissance Festival.

It’s a beautiful summer day and the kids across the street are staging a noisy protest against being asked to eat watermelon. They have chants. The dad supervising is yelling over them with watermelon’s virtues: “It’s like water but solid! isn’t that cool?”

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

My phone battery ran out earlier today and I didnt notice. When I realized it, I was a little frantic about getting to a charger. You know, just in case.

Sometimes I notice I’m compulsively refreshing blue sky not because I care about the current discourse but because i keep hoping to see that it has happened

What I got from my college professors mostly wasn’t just recitations of facts. sure, we did some of that, but it was more things like how to ask good questions and how to approach finding the answers, and weirdly, that never involved getting a computer to flatter me about how good a question it was

A Meltdown May submission under the wire

I hope you’re happy Spirit, that own goal made my baby cry (or he was crying for some reason unrelated to sports, like gas or general fractiousness, but I assume it was the own goal)

This is why I don’t go to the annual church auction

I am both a baseball and a soccer fan and I can confirm this is true

Is it just me or does putting “women” next to “illegal aliens” imply that women are not a legitimate constituency

Shout out to the guy at CVS who took Robin’s passport photo, it looks incredibly silly and yet was accepted by the US Department of State, excellent work

One of the more misogynistic takes currently trending in the AI policy space is "women use less AI than men because they have less tech literacy" Ok but have you considered that women use less AI than men because we have more tech literacy?

Robin has big plans for today and they involve nursing for 4-7 minutes, falling asleep for 13-21 minutes, and then repeating the process until Mom loses her mind 😌

I can’t believe I used to play a game called Cooking Mama. Where you make food…for fun!

I’m diagnosed with the endocrine disorder formerly known as PCOS and the whole of my symptoms were “juuuuust enough hormonal imbalance to make conceiving kind of annoying” so I feel seen by this update

Required gender studies now, all American men, starting at age 30.

dems have been gifted with a rogues gallery that would put batman/spider-man/dick tracy to shame and they cant do shit with it.

these people are goddam freaks

Hey quick question Stephen what the fuck are you talking about

a problem for republicans is that the entire party, from the white house to legislators to campaign managers to people who make ads and clip speeches etc, are chronically online, and chronically online on X in particular. it's even worse than the bubble Dems used to get criticized for

Blanked when I got to the deli counter and came up with “It’s a beautiful day for a sandwich” to have something to say

I

forgot to make a cup of tea before becoming nap trapped, oh no

Considering putting a timer on my phone counting down to our evening outing to Custard Shack

Reporters don't talk enough about how Republicans do not consider Democratic voters to be fully American.

This is astoundingly weak. They can't even bring themselves to say "FREE CHILD CARE" - instead they talk about "giving parents back the power of choice." Centrist garbage that'll end up being another tax credit starting six years from now.
