Will Sister Mary Kay Turn Out the Lights?

This made me a) cry, but also b) want to be Sister Mary Kay when I grow up

I did think it was pretty cool she married a dude who was a decade younger than her. Then showed up Louis by immediately popping out a bunch of sons!

Happy to do so! Since I’m paying for the NYT cooking app, everyone may as well benefit

Hahaha how did you guess

We went to some castles in Spain, too, so his castle count is creeping up!

She’s not interested in being a tradchild?

Aw man that’s amazing! Sounds like your sister must have a pretty cool job

Same, honestly!

Yeah it’s the best!

Also, it’s so delightful to see my own obsession take root in him. All those museum visits and documentaries are paying off!

15yo: people don’t care enough about the medieval period and it sucks!!
Me: they need to get Eleanor of Aquitaine-pilled
15yo: yeah, she was crusademaxxing

Yeah they’re honestly amazing. Perfect for a chilly fall day. I made them because we got a big donation of apples at the soup kitchen and we needed to use them up

Oh shoot, I forgot that part got cut off and didn’t add it to the alt text! Sorry!

Needed to hear that ❤️❤️❤️

Oh man ❤️

I do my best to serve my constituents!

(But for real, ❤️ and ILU)

Man, it’s rough out there (by which I mean in here)

Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking!

Ah well, we’ve already dealt with that last year when we watched Rome together (I knew there was sex in it, but I’d forgotten how omnipresent and graphic it was because I’m a dumdum)

Brother by David Chariandy | Penguin Random House Canada Winner of the 2017 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, David Chariandy's Brother is his intensely beautiful, searingly powerful, and tightly constructed second novel, exploring questions of masculini...

I was just thinking it would be cool to be able to discuss the book & see what he’s thinking about it. Also, it takes place in Toronto and seems quite good! He’s about 2/3 of the way through and really enjoying it so far

I’m no good at helping with math or science, but I do at least know books hah

The babies deserve to gain lunch meat related height

I think it might be Holly Hobby or a Holly Hobby knockoff? Definitely a late 70s vibe, it was probably a wedding gift (my parents got married in ‘79)

ANY TIME. ALWAYS HAPPY TO PASS ON RECIPES OF ANY ILK, BUT SOMEHOW BAKED GOODS ARE THE MOST SATISFYING.

Aw! Really? That’s so cool to hear!

I love these muffins, so hopefully you will too.

When this picture was taken back in August, my severely in-denial brain thought we were around the same height. Imagine my surprise when I saw it…

15yo: does the guy from Home Alone play Tony Soprano?
Me: Joe Pesci?? No. Also, I feel like you’re weirdly stereotyping balding Italian-American men from the 90s.
15yo: GABAGOOL
15yo: also, am I old enough to watch The Sopranos yet? I promise I’m not shocked by violence!

This is good intel! I’ve more or less quit drinking (because it messes with sleep so badly, and I am already a bad sleeper), so this is news I can use. Thanks!
