Substack is awesome as a consumer and I’m finding it maddening as a creator. Does this link work? #substack

I’m experimenting with Substack. I think I’d like to slow down and write more, talk less. Follow there if so inclined ❤️

This is what the living room of a reading family looks like. Always with the books, magazines, comics, comfort objects to fidget with while reading. It’s the best kind of mess 🥰 (@louiestowell.bsky.social my 8 and 10 year old boys are re-reading Loki for the 10th(?) time! Eager for book 4!)

Is there a #catsky? #catsofbluesky? #catpeople? It’s time for my family to get a pet and I want a bonded pair of kitties. Please talk to me about advancements in litter since I last had a furry friend (gasp!) 13 years ago. Litter robot? Fancy litter? Litter on my feet is my worst sensory nightmare.

I highly recommend everybody find their state's @aclu.org website and search for their Know Your Rights page. Here's the general one, but laws vary by location, so find yours and spread it

Just deleted Instagram and it feels so weird and also good. Facebook is next after I hand off a couple of groups. I’m done.

When I lived in San Francisco I couldn’t imagine ever leaving. Then we had kids and moved down the peninsula for commute reasons and suddenly leaving CA entirely seemed ok (and it was). TikTok ending is like that. I can suddenly see shuddering FB and IG entirely where it seemed impossible for years.
