I post about plants, parenting, mental health, gender, polyamory, nerd shit, and occasionally cute selfies that I will most likely delete later.

@strictlyworse.bsky.social always jokes I gift him kitchen tools so he'll cook for me. Only fair that when he gifts me paints I paint his minis.

Happy Birthday to my wonderful wife @sweetbasil.bsky.social, who honestly had a tough year, but handled it all with grace. Always a wonderful spouse, and deserving of everything good that comes their way. Happy birthday love 😘

Happy Birthday to @sweetbasil.bsky.social. They are a calming and beautiful presence in my life and I was so happy to spend the last year together, from birthday to birthday. It's had a lot of ups and downs for them but I was so grateful to be in their life with them for it.

Last night my oldest and I finished the last chapter of A Wrinkle in Time.
As it reached a happy ending, he could barely contain his excitement.
Today he checked out his first chapter book from the library on his own and is now happily reading.
My mission was successful.

I've been reading my oldest one chapter from A Wrinkle in Time every night. We just ended a chapter and he was DEVASTATED and asked to keep reading.
My plan to get this kid to love reading is working.
