RIL BayBliss Pro TT dual voltage blow dryer. We had a good run from 2012-2025 (!!!). I’ll miss your tiny foldable size. But I’m pretty sure blow dryer technology’s changed in the last 13 years? Literally don’t even know where to start…

Pie!

Starting to study Mandarin Chinese tomorrow and I’m so nervous. Tonal languages seem so scary. 😬

Just had to google pictures of magazine covers to explain to my 10 year old how to draw a magazine cover for her Halloween costume because she has NEVER SEEN ONE and I guess I am ancient.

Watching The Land Before Time with my toddler. 15 minutes in and I’m already ugly crying. Why is this movie SO sad?!

Made it through the weekend sans fever but the movers come in 36 hours and my house still looks like a tornado blew through. 1 of 18 bags packed.

Things not on my bingo card for 2025: ugly crying (like…heaving sobs) in my kitchen over a story about Halo, a game I have never played. Thanks @20k.bsky.social for a truly moving story. 20K Hertz has been a favorite for years but this episode was really, really special.

When you have small kids being sick over a weekend is just mean. Pls send chicken soup and/or a babysitter.

Brb gotta pull over and fetch boots from the street.

I will say one thing about the election results: they have really leveled up my stress baking.
