i am so tired of ai on google. not a promo but just switched to duckduckgo and it was super easy to turn off all the ai features in the settings. you can hide ai generated images too. still unfortunately plugged into google for email, but nice to have a simple way to search.

I just wrote to my sisters about a letter I’m writing to my daughter about stopping breastfeeding and I wonder if I would be this dramatic if my life wasn’t so dramatic. I bet I would. I’m grateful I’m not in another timeline making a romantic substack about my matcha latte routine.

Every one of these announcements reads to me as "we don't have enough people and supplies to occupy more than one city at a time"
Also: " Border Patrol officials also plan to send all nonlethal weapons housed in Chicago to Minnesota, according to the documents."
"The Department of Homeland Security plans to pause operations in Chicago — where Gregory Bovino, a Border Patrol official, has led controversial arrest efforts — to support the immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota."

sitting on the couch listening to my husband fight for his life to read our 2 year old cinderella while she talks over everything word and i can’t help but think it’s perfect karma for his work as a podcaster.

my daughter keeps embarrassing me by asking “who’s that? what’s their name?” so loudly the other person hears. how am i supposed to remember every single classmate’s parents’ name? or that one cousin i see every 7 years?

i have this app that i use to track my toddler’s sleep and after i put her to bed it asks if she’s protesting or if she fell asleep. but my two year old is not protesting per say, she just spends 10-15 mins after i leave the room to catching up with her stuffed penguin named Bilum.
