I'm a beautiful woman trapped in an even more beautiful woman's body. (she/her // opinions are my own)
I'm finally watching that "Greatest Night in Pop" doc and I'm losing my mind with a full-on Mandela effect moment bc what do you mean Huey Lewis is alive?? I could *swear* he died in the mid/late 2010s???

my mom is exactly one year and one day younger than the new pope, so she's absolutely THRILLED about all the discourse that he's "young"

in her words, "70 is the new 30!!" 😭

y'all: "Fox News radicalized my white boomer parents 😭😭😭"

my white boomer mom: "send me all the 'JD Vance killed the Pope' jokes you see so I can show them to my sisters"

watched 12 Angry Men for the first time and now my old head-coded belief is that watching this movie should be a high school graduation requirement, esp for boys.

bring back movies about integrity and growth! make more MMCs empathetic AND cool!

this is my new foster who was rescued in the fire zone. unfortunately he was likely attacked by an animal and had his front leg and half his tail amputated due to severe injuries. he is such a sweetie and learning the tripod life. he is slowly coming out of his safe cave.

we put on Mister Rogers Neighborhood for something chill when my toddler wakes up from his nap

Mister Rogers starts singing "It's Such a Good Feeling" and my husband goes "oh yeah, I always forget this is what Daniel Tiger is based off of"

today, my son asked for something specific for dinner AND ACTUALLY ATE IT!! he's on his second bowl right now.

if you've ever been responsible for feeding a toddler (esp a very picky one), you know how huge of a deal this is 😭
