@attnfrancis.bsky.social I saw this on the bad site and thought I had to bring it to your attention.

This is the male loneliness epidemic; it’s illegal to have friends.

Good question, it does have a bench inside so probably at least $1500/month

We are babysitting our friend’s guinea pigs, and I was not prepared for the sounds they make.

Brutal I’m sorry

Felafel dough? Paste? I don’t know

Finished Felafel

I made Felafel for the first time tonight. They went over well even with the children, a lent miracle.

Going to Costco during my lunch break would save time because it’s less busy, but everyone there midday walks so slow!

Truly a delight to read it with you!

But I really enjoyed reading it, thanks for doing it with me @ithinkicam.bsky.social !

I also thought that Vronsky killing that race horse would be more of a foreshadowing of how it would end with Anna, but in the end I didn’t think the metaphor quite fit, as he didn’t just get on to the next thing when she died, it clearly destroyed him too.

For the first part of the book I thought that Kitty and Anna were the opposite poles of the story, but I now think that Levin and Anna are the opposite poles.

Also, whoever said the book should have ended at the end of part 7, I could not disagree more strongly!

Since we both cheated and finished the book I will end the thread here with my closing thoughts.

Every day is a good day for bikes

Man, I just read chapter 16 where he meets the baby and it almost made me cry.

Why does outlook have an option to give my emails an emoji react? What am I going to do with your thumbs up??

To be clear, I love my kids, but my life is very different! Parents should be honest about that!

“My life didn’t end because we had kids” I shout over my son who is standing right next to me shouting “dad dad dad dad dad” but will have forgotten what he wanted before I finish my sentence and acknowledge him.

Oh yea, he really captured the horror of childbirth, I’m glad my kids were born in an era when I got to go to the birthing classes so I wasn’t totally in the dark about what was happening.

Yea that was so funny, I think kind of draws a contrast with Vronsky’s hospital etc. Ultimately none of the aristocrats can really relate to the peasants, even if they’re sympathetic to them.

Our second to last week, we will go to the end of part 7!

🤔 much to consider
