Welp. It’s always nice to come back from an almost 2-week vacation to the worst air quality in the world and an absolute bloodbath of a trade deadline. Never change, Minnesota.
Anyway, here’s where we were two days ago.
We were supposed to be here next week 😞 Grateful that it sounds like everyone made it out safely, and devastated for all of the park employees who lost everything. This is a huge, huge loss.
Picking up my first grader yesterday, he’s sitting with friend working on a homework sheet:
Me: (walks into the extended day room)
Him: THANK GOODNESS SAVE ME FROM THIS INFERNAL TORTURE.
@TheCinesthetic I’ve read what feels like 1,000 replies to this - lots of Shutter Island and The 6th Sense which, fair, but HOW has no one mentioned The Manchurian Candidate??!
@jonfavs . We live in the same neighborhood and in 2022, we ended up at the polls together at 7:15 am. He was clapping for voters and high-fived our kids. Whatever happens today, I’m happy the country gets to experience Tim Walz. I’d be sad to lose our fav neighbor, happy for democracy.
Harris: we need to come together as a country
Trump: the Mexicans want asylum, they're breaking into our mental hospitals
RFK Jr: in October of 1998 I left a jar of human eyes in the fiction section of a Borders bookstore in Philadelphia
My 4 y/o on the other hand, spotted another runner as we were pulling away from the school and goes “look mama, she’s on a run and *she* didn’t fall down.” 😐 so. 3/3
Not to brag, but I fell down while running yesterday for absolutely no reason. When I picked my kids up from school, they noticed the band-aids on my hands so I told them what happened. 1/3
@ClaireEFallon Most if not all anti-gentle/respectful parenting pieces I’ve seen are actually anti-permissive parenting, and don’t understand that they are not the same thing.
