I dislike being damp. So much. But I married a man who is mysteriously moist SEVERAL times a day. He will shower and put clothes on, without drying off 🫠. This is what they mean when they say #mariage is hard. 💧

My cat has the emotional and physical constitution of a frail victorian orphan set to inherit a creaky manor in the Yorkshire moors. Is he depressed and anxious? Yes. Is he living in peak luxury and privilege? Also, yes.

In an unhinged mom moment I decided to bring a giant bowl of popcorn (for me) to school pickup and manifested a magical seventh grade gossip session on the way home. 🍿 So glad to be a grownup. Seventh grade is severe… and entertaining. 🍿

Yesterday, after reading to a classroom of kids, I encountered the inevitable tension between questions and sharing. Teachers (myself included) usually gently but relentlessly guide students toward questions.
