Oh shit! I got tickets to go clubbing at the end of the month! I have to start jogging so I don’t DIE. #overfourty

I'm on chapter 4 of "A House with Good Bones" by T. Kingfisher and she keeps drinking Box Wine and it's not my fault I pulled out the $3 cooking wine and now my comic is wobbly and @tkingfisher it's your fault for writing good books. So there. g'night.

Counterintuitive shit: shorter lines means shorter intervals? No! It’s longer pauses between swipes. Why?!? #cars #rain #windshieldwipers

My kids are rereading the 5Worlds series. 4 year old asks about the blue prince. “If someone won’t answer questions, is that good or bad?”

Wait, wait, is a pie a pastry? A pie is totally a pastry! Right?

He had a whole thing about how we had to listen to god like kids listen to their parents and I was like “you sir, have no children” #conventions #religion #jesus #kids

I just realized that my 4 year old is better behaved when I get her up at 6am not because of a sleep schedule but because I’m too tired to put up with her shit and set clearer boundaries. Boundless patience isn’t always a good thing.

Wait, is it pre-menopause or perimenopause? #webcomic #comic #perimenopause #premenopausal

To any of the troops who might be deployed to Portland Oregon. Sweetheart, pack some vitamin D and wool socks. The rain is about to hit and seasonal depression does not fuck around up here.

Hey Portland! Go to this thing!! www.zeffy.com/en-US/... #portland #orchestra #echotheater #celticlightorchestra

We have an autism cure that my friend just happens to have stock in. No reason. #AndrewWakefield #Autism #CashGrab #Leucovorin #medicine #politics #scams #trump #Tylenol

I misread that

When our daycare has a “back to school” night but asks we leave the kids with the babysitter … but daycare IS the babysitter!!

Lately I’ve been trying to teach my four year old (and myself) what we can and can’t control and how to let go of what we can’t control. Repeat after me “I don’t have control over other people. I do have control over myself.” …. Kind of.

My kids love the “turbo boost” our little EV Chevy Bolt can do. #webcomic #cars #electricvehicle #EV #gas #oil #subaru #chevyBolt

Okay, what podcasts are you listening to?

No no, this is totally the good place… honest. #rapture #heaven #hell #devil #satan

The song “Don’t you want me” is dark. “ You think you've changed your mind You'd better change it back, or we will both be sorry” also You are my Sunshine has a “come back or I’ll kill you” vibe. Wee! Love songs!

Googling to see if I should be happy or angry about this… probably gonna be angry. #media #news #headlines

We watched Elio last night and I was Not Prepared. Guys, the big ham radio scene BROKE ME!! “Why is mommy bawling?” Because the world coming together is what we fucking neeeeed!

God forbid we attempt any rehabilitation. What is this, Europe? #capitalism #ceo #greed #prisons #slavery

Kids drive you nuts in many ways, but when they are in the room, you do not have time to worry about social collapse.

And the UN offered to buy it and we STILL said no because we are a bag of dicks. #birthcontrol #government #politics #reproductiverights #UncleSam #women #womenshealthcare

Trying to teach my 4 year old about consequences for her actions. I’m trying to ask her what happens after she lashes out. What happens to the other person and where do we go from there?

You can just help. You don’t have to wait until they fall apart before lending a hand. #delegating #parenthood #sickkids #triage

My 4 year old calls is Cake Pop Demon Hunter and yes. Yes it is.

A selfish society is doomed #firstworldnation #governmentassistance #politics #strongsociety #taxes

My 4 year old is in her bimonthly “I’m not going to brush my teeth or bathe” rage cycle and we talked about how exhausting it is to be mean to everyone all the time and how it feels so good to help the people around you. Look for the helpers.

My four year old and I decided that Anna from Frozen and Zoe from Demon Hunters would TOTALLY vibe together. Snacks and saunas and overthinking social anxiety for the win!

Throwback Thursday Wanna do something? https://5calls.org/ #TBT #throwbackThursday #comics #webcomics

I see concern that Charlie Kirk's death could spark civil war. This same concern wasn't as apparent in the aftermath of the shooting of 2 democrat senators (and their spouses) in Minnesota. There's a message in that an Alex Jones fan's terrorism is expected, but Charlie Kirk's death is dangerous.

Outside of Rose City Comic Con, surrounded by amazing cosplayers, my 7 year old stopped excitedly to identify a tree that she had seen on Eleanore Wonders Why. My kids are awesome.

I told my four year-old that we were gonna watch K-pop Demon Hunter and she ran and put on her ballet dress and grabbed a sword. Now she’s insisted on having a hot bath spa day and is doing sit-up's because she wants abs.

Insurrections occur in waves; the unrest in Indonesia has spread to Nepal. Whatever happens next, this revolt should give pause to politicians and police who imagine that they can pillage and terrorize with impunity. Today, money may insulate you from the consequences of your actions; but tomorrow?

The September pumpkins are a hit. Should I tell my children that I’m gonna make soup out of their friends?

The original Stranger Danger https://thedevilspanties.com/archives/16748

No no, I’m fine… imma get pumpkins in September. Everything’s fine.
