flu numbers are going back up again eh https://www.pref.kanagawa.jp/sys/eiken/003_center/0005_ryukou/influenza/260209_influenza_19.html

lmao mamatomo has spelled New Baby’s name three different ways since i sent her the message telling her what her name is 😂 clearly this is a universal problem

#blessed that every time my husband has walked in while i’m rewatching heated rivalry it happens to be a scene where somebody is talking in russian or someone else is having a serious conversation 😶 he knows i’m obsessed with “this really good hockey romance” but i’ve got a feeling the HR in his […]

thank fuck everyone is well enough to go to preschool/daycare today because fucking hell i swear my nearly-6-year-old is actually a nearly-16-year-old, she’s been such a complete shit the last two days

do you ever get stressed about how many languages there are still to learn in the world and how impossible/little time there is to learn them all? 😭

Well, everyone, you can now submit a comment to let the FCC know what you think about SpaceX asking for 1 million satellites for "AI datacenters" whatever the fuck that means. https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-26-113A1.pdf Comments due March 6. I am having a very hard time believing […]

first noro in maybe 30 years, guess i haven’t done too badly to get this far 😫 i miss being able to drink water though 😭

oh god,… i’ve got whatever stomach bug Twin Y has/had… just end me now

yall it is truly fucking insane how much easier it is dealing with one baby at a time 💀 even having 3 older kids under 6 (3 under 2!!) is easier than newborn twins jfc

didn’t have time for bean-throwing today but did get ehomaki for dinner in a bid to make life easier since everything else today has been Terrible as usual Ms.5 complained and declared she didn’t like it before even trying any 🙄

made it to lunchtime (will the sick kid be able to eat???) and realised i’ve been too busy to eat anything all day because shit kicked off before i’d had the time to make myself breakfast 😭 no wonder im so tired omg

fucking horrendous morning oh my god 💀 Twin Y has been throwing up all over the place so is obviously staying home today, on top of the regular chaos of having four small children including a newborn 🫠 wot larks

Great expression that should be used more.

i woke up to feed the baby at 2am with this song inexplicably stuck in my head it has been YEARS 😅 el-oh-el-oh-el♪ https://youtu.be/uQu71l1WQ3g

also the dog is shedding and i don’t have time to brush himmmmmmm

yesterday my husband informed me of a conversation we apparently had a few weeks ago of which i have ZERO recollection. i don’t have the faintest shadow of a memory of even KNOWING the thing that i apparently told him about(!) either he’s losing the plot or i am, it’s 50-50 (or maybe we both are)

it’s our @brian’s birthday today 🥳 happy birthday bestie!!

the other day we took the dog out for a walk, and saw that the park near our house was being visited by a class from the local daycare. two of the boys in that class are the children of local friends so we stopped to greet them, and before long the whole class (15+ five-year-olds) had gathered […]

https://youtu.be/kbGn8Cv4Dvw i enjoyed listening to this today - initially it’s about daycares and stupid rules regarding access to childcare in japan, but ultimately also about gender roles, attitudes to parenting, japanese society in general, and about being an advocate for change in your […]

yesterday we went to buy shoes for my husband and the sales assistant was Super Gay and also Super Checking My Husband Out which amused me more than it probably should have

deeply offended whenever the baby falls asleep with a mouthful of milk and ends up dribbling it everywhere 💀 i MADE THAT FROM SCRATCH don’t bloody well waste it!! rude infant

apparently both my husband and i forgot to eat breakfast this morning, good job us

because i always go “Wow! You did a great job, well done!” every time the twins tells me they’ve finished eating, they’ve both now started just going “Wow!” as a sign they’ve had enough to eat 😅

the most important part of catching up with my UK bestie #heatedrivalry

“…because MILF is actually a socioeconomic category” https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSaf4fwoU/

i’ve been staying at this postpartum care place for the last week and my husband didn’t tell me that he was bringing all 3 big kids to come visit this morning so i had to hastily pause my rewatch of #heatedrivalry episode 2 as the door opened… VERY narrowly avoided them hearing hollanov fucking 🤪

I've heard it happening to other people, so... what's the procedure when you receive an email from someone in full gpt psychosis, with the usual spiel that they have discovered that gpt is sentient and together they have solved the secrets of the universe, and gpt told them to email you?

can’t believe i reopened my tumblr app after a million fucking years just for more hollanov content 💀

California just joined the World Health Organization. I love it.

nurse today was like, eat as much as you want! have haagen dazs every day! you’re working harder than an american football player! (why this was the comparison she used i have no idea) which is so insanely different from the “try not to gain any weight at all” attitudes during pregnancy lmao

i’ve had this cold for 4-5 days now and i don’t want to jinx it but it seems like that baby has so far remained unscathed?? i wish i could hurry up and get better though 😫

the problem with reading books during nighttime baby feeding sessions is that you want to get back to sleep asap but at the same time the story is addictive so you want to keep reading 😶

[horrible but also funny af] oh my god Hide just compared me with my postpartum loose skin to a fucking flying squirrel lmaoooo 💀 bye

damn, catching up with some friends after the new year and two different people lost their dads over the holiday period and have returned to their hometowns/countries to help sort things out and be with their mums for a while 😬 what a start to the year…

RE: https://mstdn.chrisalemany.ca/@chris/115913011245400926 @brian looks like this is why

when you have a DM streak with someone on tiktok it shows you the number of days in your streak at the top next to the person’s name, right? only i keep thinking it’s the number of new messages so every time i see a new DM from @Chanclatrix i keep doing a double take before i remember that she […]

bitch just because they’re not in your database does not mean they aren’t real words!! rude 😡

cool cool cool Twin S has woken up this morning with a snotty nose and a fever, love that for us

once again, nighttime baby feeds are my # 1 most effective method for getting books read

lmao Ms 5’s daycare has a petting zoo event today and my husband just sent me this photo just a girl and her chikkins

One of the reasons Seijo Ishii exists today is down to alcohol licence regulations. After Yoshiaki Ishii took over the family fruit store in Seijo, Setagaya, Odakyu opened a supermarket nearby. He switched to selling wines and premium foods because the supermarket wouldn't handle them.

The Doctor Heli air ambulance service has been periodically suspended in 10 prefectures, including Tokyo, because the operator cannot employ enough mechanics, who are legally required to travel on every flight. www.sankei.com/article/2026...
