at least my “””autistic””” son (5) loves his train set so i can enjoy it with him, a hobby i was denied in childhood for unknown (but possibly noise-related) reasons

she (now 7) has since accomplished this feat a third (3rd) time

god i wish i had a piano

feeling really constrained by my personal inexperience with sibling conflict right now #fostercare

i gotta tell you, living with a psychotic person is really exhausting, even when that person is only 6

the fact that my daughter (6) could rip the doors off their hinges should have been my first clue that this apartment wasn’t ideal but alas

can’t wait til people in the new administration start falling out of windows

did you make it?

I actually don’t feel as fine as R.E.M. led me to believe I would

successfully finding many people from the bad place, nearly none of whom will follow me back, but i can at least still read everybody’s little ideas during night feedings so all is not lost? all is not lost

I love the idea of joyful disobedience to authoritarians

Beating up daddy only reinforces the patriarchal values he embodies

Laughing at him while refusing to accept his authority over us? That breaks him and the power of the ideas that empower him

i give away these objects, hopefully to people to whom they will be less terrible

i live in michigan, we’re good

excuse me mr dad pot, i need this badly, can u offer a primer on where to start

oh those have come back! my kids have them, but they’re also rulers?! the innovation

I'm starting a crew who's in

the only thing i care about lately is mundanities because my everyday is crisis

i am absolutely going to take you up on that eventually, stay tuned

i had an uncle gösta and this explains it, thank you

the real me is alone in bed

My baby has learned to wave. She has learned to say “bye-bye.” She has climbed over the baby gate. She has fashioned a crude bindle out of a tree branch and burlap. She has memorized the rail paths to Milwaukee. She has hitchhiked with beat poets, searched for a jazz symphony beneath starlit skies

glad to hear! best wishes for your girl

we are such a special country down here

yes, and they’re doing greywater and composting toilets and solar panels like it’s gonna mean something. god bless us every one

several desert gods are also there, intermittently, depending on the power of the mescal that day

i find u charming

really feel like she’s busy finding herself in the desert or something rn

i miss her so much

i lost my beloved cat recently but she had a very easy passing with the help of a home-visiting hospice vet. if you ever need/want a local rec. very happy to hear your girl’s feeling better.

ok thank you so much!

i have a question about birds and their poop, which is will they generally poop in the same area (cage?) or do they just poop willy-nilly everywhere in the house?
