Walking into my daughter’s ballet class in the middle of downtown, watching all these fathers walking out, letting their daughters walk on the actual city sidewalks in their ballet slippers 👀 🩰

I love David Bazan’s lyrics:

“I don’t like girls the way they are
So shave their legs and make them look like movie stars”

When I was a kid there were things I loved so much that I couldn’t believe they existed

Things like

Cotton candy
Miniature paper cocktail umbrellas
Diaries with a tiny lock and a tiny key

Hera: Ducks like to be near water. Like if you’re sweating, they’d go inside your armpit. It’s a joke!

The important thing to do — when you’ve written something pretty bad — is to send it to a friend straightaway — (so she can tell you so!)

Roland Barthes (from THE NEUTRAL) — talking about the demands of being a public intellectual — but I think this applies to so many things (being a parent, being “nudged” continually by notifications and pings on your phone, endless emails pouring over the transom)

I love the depiction of rapport & affection shared among these siblings — the sister grinning up at her older brother, their tangled hug, the brother’s leg raised up as if being half-carried or playfully fought with — as if they won’t stop their perpetual horseplay even for a formal portrait
