I wish all the pretty girls were shaking me down. Also: a delectable morsel of feminine pulchritude, I'm told. Bite into something far more suffonsifying.
@gretawhy@tweeterpated Sadly, people can't supervise without also fully taking advantage of her, it seems (cc: conservatorship). I feel really badly for her.
I'm going to miss Twitter. It was a great blend of my former LJ girls, Giants coverage, celebrities I'll never meet, political snark, and no family/non-fandom friends. Threads just isn't the vibe for me yet, but maybe someday. Find me on FB (still), IG (sometimes).
My 10yo niece recently finished reading Margaret. Now weβre watching the movie, and her 8 and 7 yo sisters are RAPT. I expect a LOT of questions when weβre done. π

I will never know the full anguish of parenting... of having your soul walking around inside another living being that you made, and know that you ultimately have to let them grow and be and learn and live on their own.
But I got a millisecond of that last night. No bueno.
When I say I burst into tears... OMG. She immediately ran to me and gave me the biggest, sweetest hug... and so did all her big sibs. Heck, even the 1.5YO baby was swept up in it, all six of them squeezing me, letting me know they play there all the time, and she's fine.
