As a kid, in a hurry, my dad once told my brother “just go get on the bus; I already threw your cereal away” and I feel that deeply now as a parent. #neurospicy #parenting

I asked a very small group of friends "Is anyone else just bone weary with life right now?"

Immediate yes.

Glad to not be alone but hoping for a restful turn for the positive

I know everything is divisive right now, but can we all agree that this was never pizza? www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW6K... #80s #pizza #arehashtagsathinghere

I think we had eaten takeout for 5 straight days (fresh and leftovers) until today when I finally had the emotional wherewithal to cook vegetable soup and biscuits from a tube after work.

This is a kind perspective and I appreciate it. 🥡🧡🍲
To reiterate a post from the Other Site, for most of the last four thousand+ years, the vast majority of people living in cities got takeout. Many apartments lacked kitchens due to space and fire risk. Cooking yourself 7 fresh, varied meals a week is a VERY recent expectation.
Someone replied to me bringing up fast food by asking if I knew cooking exists and it’s a joke and totally fine but I want everyone to know that if you’re in a place in life where it’s cheaper to get food that way or if you’ve just worked two shifts, the idea of “cooking” holds no inherent nobility

This week, I finished @maryrobinette.bsky.social's Short Story Cohort, and it was an absolute brain bend in the best of ways.

I thought I'd be sad at our last meeting, but at the end, I just felt grateful.
