I’m a queer American parent so things are really awful right now. I’m using this as a place to document things that don’t feel completely awful. But probably also to repost and comment on things that do.

Something about the combination of Fredrick Backman’s prose and Marin Ireland’s narration hit just right sometimes.

Good things for this week:
-we found a summer nanny for our 4 kids
-kid no. 3 is keeping all of his IEP supports for next year
-I work on a team where it’s encouraged to bring our whole selves to work and always make thoughtful and ethical decisions

The American Dream truly is back. They just fail to mention it was only ever for wealthy white people.

Chain-Gang All-Stars is such an interesting book. It reads a little like a bunch of interwoven short stories, each covering an angle of the dystopia. Really enjoying it.

Mills: “Do not be misled: This is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a president can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law,” the governor said in a statement on the escalating conflict. “I believe he cannot.”

Governor Mills is taking no shit from Trump. A fine example of standing up for the rule of law and for states’ rights, not to mention women’s rights. Trans women are women.

Last night’s snowfall was light and fluffy and easy to shovel.

Last night I got to see some extended family, reminding me that I do have a village, however scattered it is

I’m reading three different books right now that are all really great (Honor Girl by Maggie Thrash, Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart, God of the Woods by Liz Moore)

Thinking about using this for my therapy homework, which is stopping to notice things that feel good to me.
