On a work trip when my kids were toddlers, colleagues were complaining about terrible hotel buffet food. Confused for a sec because I thought it was amazing. Then it hit me - it had literally been years since I ate a full plate of warm food in one sitting. Things no one tells you about mom life.

Put them outside and enjoy the blue jays!

Completely understand their concern, but these counties overwhelmingly vote for people who dismantle the exact services they’re desperate for. Then at the first sign of crisis, yell at the government for not helping them faster / better. It’s maddening to watch the vicious cycle.

How many versions of the same film can they possibly make? It’s insane that anyone wants to spend money on making or seeing this.

Vicky Vidya is so bad. 30 mins in, I thought, I guess I can watch Mallika Sherawat and Vijay Raaz have fun and mostly ignore the rest. But then aging Daler Mehndi made me sad and that climax scene was irredeemable. Every time the filmmakers had a choice, they made the worst one.🫠

Helen, the conversation with Mary Robinette about figuring out what her mother needed / wanted in those final years was life changing. What a gift. Thank you!
