The weird, good result about pregnancy: my apple allergy has seemingly faded.
The weird, bad result of pregnancy: my lactose intolerance is back...after going away during my first pregnancy.
Hormones be wild.

Ruth Coker Burks is proof that nurture doesn't always beat nature, and that even an adverse childhood can make you a beautifully caring, compassionate individual. #AllTheYoungMen is breaking my heart. We need more folks like her in this world.

Just going to put this here. “Woke”
is a good thing. In fact it is a necessary thing.
You say it like it is a bad thing and I’ll have zero respect for you going forward.

I know the world is kind of a mess right now BUT have you considered you could be dealing instead with a toddler during daylight savings time?

Son: Are we better off now?

Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time.

Son: What's that?

Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

Wait, didn't Ford already say he was cancelling the Starlink contract in January, then reinstated it, and is now announcing it's cancelled again? Is it déjà vu?!

I think the most exciting part about living in this timeline is being a social studies teacher so I have modern examples of so many ✨interesting✨ political concepts in action.

So, my child won't eat regular ol' dill pickles, but she absolutely loves pickled garlic.
Toddlers, man.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

It's just like, the most random happenstance that a country that actively demonized antifa is now becoming a fascist country. Just, the wildest of coincidences. WILD.

My 3yo drew her first self portrait today and it's actually my favourite thing in the whole wide world.

My little brightness in this bleak world is that my 3yo has a great taste in music.

Her favourite songs are "Too Sweet" by Hozier and "The Queen Song Rhapsody" (aka Bohemian Rhapsody) which she knows all the words to and sings, and headbangs, along to. 💜

Realistically, I should not be going to work, with how sick I still feel. But I haven't gotten a sub for the last 3 days so my guilt overtakes my illness.

And then people wonder why teachers in AB are burnt out and leaving the profession? #ABEd #subshortage

That’s it. I’m putting this chunky, intricate, existential book down.

I’m picking the sweet, fast-paced popcorn book up.

Now is not the time for eating literary vegetables.
I want cake.
#booksky

I'm putting this out there, because to hell with it: this time next year, I'll have a published novel that is sold in book stores and popular with readers.
If I say it, it'll come true 😤

The only thing better than cool nails is that I get to spend time with my bestie while he does them 💜

Alright, who thought it was a good idea to let me, the pregnant, go to the grocery store unattended?
Oh, also me.....
