random thoughts about parenting, work life, (hopefully) some good, San Francisco Bay Area, and other things 🥂

That pep in your step when a meeting gets cancelled.

Which is why New Jersey is truly genius for memorializing into law that you don’t have to pump your own gas (I have no idea if that’s actually law, but it is everywhere in the state)

This will only hit for a few of you: there is something very Coming to America about getting grocery pickup and not having to get out of the car while they load it for you.

[Ev @ms_evelynb]

But let’s be real, I usually get out of the car and help them.

In every household there is a devout user of dryer sheets and another person who is a quiet detractor, secretly never using them.

That energy, were you get seven things done between 430 and 5 PM. Wish I could have that drive in the morning.

Do not try to eat couscous when you are emotionally unregulated

@leahygarrett I just read your article about the Lucky Penny diner. The headline says “luxury homes” but deeper in the article it says the housing is “100% market rate”. Which one is it?

[Ev @ms_evelynb]

@UpFirst today you talked about how much activity overcomes a day of sitting at your desk, could you please share the study? I can’t find more information in the show notes.

@RecParkSF Please consider adding warning signs before people turn onto the great Highway extension when traffic creates delays as long as 20 or 30 minutes. You have hundreds of cars idling and burning gas for no reason. We all would’ve gladly taken a different route.

@GraceGedye why did you quote David Neumark in your article on the gas tax? He’s not speaking objectively from his expertise as an economist. Furthermore, his claims are tone deaf and offensive to people with lesser means.

Did a real work out for the first time since having a baby 10 months ago. 1 hour pilates class on the reformer 😳 I am so sore. This is new sore. I think this is middle aged sore. It has to be. It can’t get worse than this. #parenting

[Ev @ms_evelynb]

Yes yes yes

Black History Month is not about white education, white progress, or making white people “get it.” It is about loving black people, telling our stories, and creating a better world for us to live in. It is about embracing the fullness of our humanity, complexity, and power.

Didn’t know it was a triple threat. I ❤️ Scandal.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

You can’t ban books and then scream about cancel culture.

For the record I want to be Mrs. Owl sitting in this cozy basket.

[Ev @ms_evelynb]

#parenting is wanting to be one of your kids’ toys, then wanting to tell your your friends about that, then realizing it probably won’t land, then tweeting about it and realizing you already spent too much mental energy in this tired thought.

The death of #LaurenSmithFields is tragic and must be investigated. #JusticeForLaurenSmithFields

Gabby Petito went missing and the whole world stopped breathing. Lauren Smith-Fields hasn’t even gotten quarter of that kind of attention. Black women deserve better!!! #JusticeForLaurenSmithFields
