And now for one of my proudest moments.
The 2yo calls me matante now (auntie), but he pronounces it "patate" (potato).
I love it hard.
Then today I said to him Whatcha doing bud? And it hit me... I'm giving him a new nickname:
Spud.
@oldgodspod I just realized I grew up on the Canadian bit of the Appalachian mountains (next to St Anne des Monts, where the Parc de la Gaspésie begins)! Not Appalachia per se but it gave me kind of a thrill. Skied a lot as a kid.
Wonder if there are old gods up here too 🤔
What am I saying... I grew up in the shadow of Éole, the highest vertical axis wind turbine in the world. We were taught about Éole the god of the wind before we could talk. We also had a legend of a cat trapped in a rock. Mountains on one side, ocean on the other...
@XphMcIntyre @KaceyWagnerWS @L_isaMarie @RoseRhigo @yip_pe @rinflirts @smoreagain I'm 100% in favor of losing a service rather than supporting his bs. I hate that Space Karen gets to dictate the lives of a huge chunk of the world like this. Things have been rotten at the core for a long time...
Well, it's been..... a ride.
@XphMcIntyre @KaceyWagnerWS @L_isaMarie @RoseRhigo @yip_pe @rinflirts @smoreagain I can definitely appreciate walking out rather than putting up with the crap. But uh... This oughta be fun.
@cottageinwood Oh man, I forgot about Kinuko Y. Craft! I loooves her work when I was a teen. Her work is so luminous. I need to get myself some prints.
@KaceyWagnerWS I thought you might like it 😄 I don't think I'll be putting this one in the toddler's costume trunk, as originally intended... I'll make an equally non-binding swear to either send this one or make a 2nd. I really will try my best.
Today, because of Neon Genesis Evangelion, I accidentally taught @EleventhOcean that the original choral lyrics to Beethoven's fifth, Ode to Joy, are technically less a religious worship symphony and more like a Baroque Party Rock Anthem.
@DesertSolstice LOL I did basically the same thing. They basically swaddle you and there are rhythmic sounds and vibrations, what else you gonna do?? I'm in there for 30 minutes, may as well make use of it 😄
3yo I were in the playroom and we picked out 4 books to read on the couch. He then went back for more, and I said, "We have enough books! We need to read the ones we picked before getting more."
And then the stack of new, unread books downstairs laughed and laughed...
You know, I enjoy instagram way more now I've stopped trying to make ~content~ out of my pictures and instead just follow artists who draw cryptids, cosplay creators, and Jacques Ze Whipper.
