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!!" 😭
I may make plenty of mistakes, but I can always count on parenting groups to make me feel better about my judgment!!
my brother had just sent me that and I responded "great now I need to explain what FMK is to mom"
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"
the lack of internet safety knowledge among parents is horrifying actually
no sometimes, like this, there's nothing else to say!!
today in parenting groups: I'm actually speechless...
it's hard to look mysterious when you're carrying a lunch box
two new phrases toddler picked up lately:
"are you finking what I finking?"
"I'm sorry for apologize"
I haven't seen that one yet (I'm woefully behind on movies in general, esp anything before the 80s) but it's a priority now!!
I love all these people but like... of course the people yt folks expect to save them are dad-ified white men and young, "sassy" WOC
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"
the industry I currently work in may be antiquated in a lot of ways but at least I don't have to deal with this shit anymore
strong reactions to the #LoveIsBlind reunion this season!!
was watching the latest #WhiteLotus episode again and was thinking @natasharothwell.bsky.social kinda reminds me of my Grandma when she was young
Yes
hoping that non-Americans know so many of us hate what happened today!
Marvin Sapp performs “Never Would Have Made It” for NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert: youtu.be/wVbZzgybaJ4?...
a new level of approaching the point has been unlocked:
just saw an adult woman say Go Ask Alice is her favorite book
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 😭
Toddler: open your mouth
me: 😮
Toddler: close your mouth
me: 😐
Toddler: open your mouth
me: 😮
Toddler: I like your teeth
as an amateur pop culture historian and notorious lover of gossip, this press cycle has been a dream
everyone's freaking out about the "I don't negotiate with terrorists" story meanwhile.... #SNL50
my mom: "maybe the Alexa with the screen will help us in the kitchen"
the recipes it recommends:
concerning how many people don't realize this is AI 😕
(yes, I blurred my name, not hers — she's commenting from a page bc her intention is to be a public figure so... fair game in my book!)
