Nothing like parenting a 3yo to make you feel like a complete failure of a human being.
Can you get insurance for toddler damage? Asking for me: My glasses were finally defeated by my 3yo and my Macbook and phone are constant worries...
I can tell I'm a mom because I really need a day or weekend break from the kids...so I can catch up on chores.
A thing about depression: I have spent a week barely able to function, and today, I am functional. I feel good and have energy. I want to do something fun! But instead, I have a massive list of chores and tasks I missed while out of commission. Depression hits you even when you feel good.
The toddler (Preschooler? Egads! Preschooler!) played out in the snow twice today and was falling asleep on the couch before bed, so we did the rush to get him ready for bed thing and then he is now, an hour or so later, still doing the whole Psyche!! thing and is just not even close to sleeping.
Really feeling like giving up on humanity tonight after a lifetime of believing in us humans. Maybe we are all rotten at our core. Or maybe it's just Saturday night over here. I dunno.
Thing I just said to my musical theatre-loving 2yo son: "Do you want to watch Newsies? It's about boys dancing!" There is no factual error in this statement.
Anyone else feel on the verge of a complete old-fashioned nervous breakdown or...oh, yes, that's everyone. Carry on.
This past year has been a big lesson in learning that everything is on the honour system. If a felon can be president, the law in America no longer matters for him. He can and will do whatever he wants. No one can stop him. The American experiment failed.
Congrats on breaking the seal, twice over. Why publishers and not agents, may I ask?
Now I have pneumonia and I would really like to know when the timer is going to ding on this misery so I can tolerate it better. It's easier, for me at least, to tolerate pain when I know when it will end. Predicted hope on the horizon, at least in the short term, is what keeps me going.
Almost a decade ago, in a prenatal class, the instructor invited us pregnant peeps (and, after, partners) to stick our fists in a bowl of ice for the duration of a contraction. It was an empowering exercise for me, because I was able to keep my hand in until the timer dinged.
The world is literally burning, and this morning, I accurately recalled that Hugh & Sutton stared together in The Music Man on Broadway recently, so here's for completely insignificant wins. Because that might be all we have left: insignificant memory recall and their love for each other.
It's time for my annual birthday fundraiser. Please don't donate for me, donate for the right to life and health of all humans!
Hey streamers and content owners, Can you come and explain to my autistic 8yo why his favourite show is no longer available anywhere? Because I'm tired.
I can't do my Apple Music Replay because it's clogged with songs I put on repeat for eternity to get my toddler to go to sleep or to calm my autistic 8yo. There needs to be filters, and not just children's music, but specific songs to be filtered out.
I want memory enhancing drugs but just so I can remember my children as they grow up.
Exotic. Any therapy term.
The dems seem to be deluded into believing the rules are set in stone so everything will be fine. The republicans figured out the whole thing is unenforceable, so they can just ignore. The American Experiment has failed because it lacked accountability. It was /too/ free (for white males).
This is how I would organize mine...if I could keep up with the amount of books I buy. I plan to get them organized again. Keeping them organized so I can find a book to show or recommend to someone, or to refer to or to make sure I don't already have it, those are the reasons.
No worries. It can be googled. Thanks.
A literal thing I just said to my toddler: "No, we're not listening to rock n roll at bedtime. It's too uppity."
What have I become? Also, who is this Gen Alpha requesting the rock and the roll??
Not sure if this is better on Threads or here but: my depression has been severe. As usual, in moments of minuscule relief, I try to make goals and plan my way out of it. This never works for me, probably because my goals are lofty; I need to change "write 100 words" to "sit at desk for 5 minutes."
Canadian and a lump of nonfunctional depression, so I don't qualify, but I'd like to ask, where did you get this and do they ship to my country? Thank you.
This was 8d-ago-Danica. Now-Danica believes Bluey is another part of the "Make parents feel bad about their parenting" machine. Down with Bluey and it's unrealistic perfect representation of parenting!
Maybe not the best karaoke song, but, Everything is Awful by The Decemberists was just playing in my mind soundtrack.
My first thought.
I feel like the original TV miniseries version of this is lost in the conversation. At the time, it was unreal that Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, et al. would deign to do television. Now it's normal. Also, yes, we need the content of Angels in America to be seen widely. Again.
This is chia pudding. You are correct.
Added a bunch of Kiwi Farm accounts to my blocklist. I will add them as I find them.
