Why didn’t anyone tell me the utter joy that is your kid finally figuring out how to play Rock, Paper, Scissor? Here’s hoping we conquer knock knock jokes next. #parenting #preschool

@KristenVanNest Congrats!

As an American, I’ve always loved the pomp and splendor of the royal family on a superficial level, but this is an important read by @SymonHill especially because much of the same is happening here re/ policing and the right to protest.

Today, I installed a 6-level “Hess truck parking garage” alongside my son’s closet. Tomorrow, upon dropping him off at preschool and settling down with my laptop and some caffeine, I will officially join the ranks of the #amquerying

[Kat Echevarría Richter @KatRichter]

She’s not wrong! 🤦🏽‍♀️

I am intrigued to read this book (probably because I’ve spent my entire life with a Venice-obsessed mother who can literarily reroute any trip to “stop over for a quick trip” to Venice because “it’s basically on the way.”)

They’re back! We are getting the RAD voter info boxes ready to install around the Riverwards today! Cleaning them up and stocking with our endorsed candidates’ lit, voter registration forms and other great election swag 😍

[Kat Echevarría Richter @KatRichter]

Love this place!

We sold our 100th children’s book!!! To celebrate 🎉🎉🎉, we are giving away one FREE copy with every purchase for the rest of the weekend. We imagine a day where our brick and mortar is filled with more books that we write, print, publish, and distribute. Gotta start somewhere.

there are two kinds of people in this world: people who have their taxes filed by mid-February and people who have no idea what month the tax deadline is, and the second kind stays out of jail by marrying the first kind

I’ve got a fever and the only prescription is better wages and benefits for the union editors at Saturday Night Live.

[Kat Echevarría Richter @KatRichter]

@RubinsteinBagel (as recommended in the @VisitSeattle mag) did not disappoint! Everything bagel with avocado and smoked applewood bagel ftw. (And look at me being all millennial with my avocado toast post and “ftw” abbreviation)

[Janel Comeau 🍁 @VeryBadLlama]

in hindsight the plot of The Great Gatsby makes infinitely more sense when you remember that the author and all of the characters have been driven to the brink of stark-raving, shoelace-eating madness by three years of a global flu pandemic

[Kat Echevarría Richter @KatRichter]

Don’t mind me, I’ll just be over here underlying every freaking line of “Essential Labor: Mothering as Social Change” by @agarbes as I come to grips with my existential rage. (Hint: it all comes down to capitalism.) #AWP23 #BookTwitter

@amylizkugler 100% I’m sure everyone on this thread could compare “lactation room” horror stories (as if the imposter syndrome wasn’t already bad enough for so many of us)
