Reading this bit from @jeffsharlet.bsky.social book, The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War, is pretty chilling in our current time.

Now listen, I’m no scientist/professor of public health or anything like that but I don’t think this is how it works?

This little one turns five today and starts kindergarten tomorrow and where does the time go. She’s the love of our life and enjoying every second of the journey with a smile.

Happy Birthday Ellie Bean! ❤️

I’m trying to use these toy blueberries teach Niko all about Staphylococcus but he’s not having it. He’s almost two. I think it’s an appropriate time.

Sometimes @docbazac.bsky.social and I get cleaned up and try to do adult things.

How the hell is this man two years YOUNGER than me.

Hate really ages you like tuna salad in the sun.

Mastodon, Motherload from the show in Salem on Saturday night.

I had to record this for my 4yo daughter because it’s, legit, her favorite song in the world.

Going through old pics and found this one of Luke and Rosie. They had individual beds but Rosie wasn’t having any of that. She wanted to be in contact with someone (mostly Luke) at all times. ❤️
