My whole job used to basically be email, and now it feels like email is Impossible.

I can’t find the charger for my electric toothbrush anywhere, so now it’s just a very heavy regular toothbrush, and I think of the Mitch Hedberg escalator bit every time I brush my teeth.

UN Day at M’s school is an excellent balm for the horrors of the world today. I love love love his school.

Make sure to hydrate and take tissues.

We’ve been telling him the reason he can’t play is that it’s a computer-only game. 🤣 But we actually do want to get him used to a real desktop and not just a tablet/Chromebook at school. So idk.

I admit to not having done research yet. A non-multiplayer option could have me relaxing my “not until you can drive” feelings.

What’s the responsible age to let a child start playing Minecraft? Like…25? Or?

Oh fully, I’m just surprised that *I’m* three days behind the initial news break. I’m not known for being low-key!!!

sarahhh @kickedthestairs.bsky.social · 6d

Not that I’m aware of!

sarahhh @kickedthestairs.bsky.social · 6d

Sept 2023, also very quietly!!!

HOW DID THIS NEWS ESCAPE ME FOR THREE WHOLE DAYS??? Past me is shocked at my behavior. people.com/chris-evans-...

Full same. Can’t do it right now and often wonder if I ever will.

I married a CHILD, look at him!!! He was 25, which is somehow reasonably grown but also still A BABY. I always forget how little his neck was before his first deployment (when he first ever lifted weights).

Cody, my husband, in Air Force mess dress (though with a non-uniform white bow tie).

Also the bouquets were stunning. I lucked out on the florals, massively. The venue coordinator was the florist, and you had to use her, and she was *amazing* and so affordable.

Three floral bouquets on an ivory couch. The center bride’s bouquet is of purple calla lilies wrapped in ivory satin and pearls. The flanking bouquets are of orange and yellow roses accented with purple cosmos (??), wrapped in green.

Because I have an excuse for another hour, here’s my favorite non-professional pic of me from my wedding.

Me in my wedding dress 13 years ago today. I’m sitting on a bench, and the ivory dress has a strapless sweetheart neckline, drop waist, and lace overlay. I’m wearing pearls and have a simple waist-length veil with a scalloped lace trim. The corset + bodice give me the figure I’ve always wish I really had—even seated!

And what an excellent sweater it is!!!

sarahhh @kickedthestairs.bsky.social · 10d

And to say it on purpose with your whole chest?? With your name on it and everything?

okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star Trek viewers. Trekkies are and always have been men. Women are not usually interested in science fiction, but that’s doubly true of Star Trek in particular.

I hear you, random guy who once knew some lady who watched every Voyager episode. I see you on Instagram, attractive girl cosplaying in Starfleet miniskirts. Unfortunately, you very cool Trek-girls are the exception, not the rule.

Went to bed early feeling terrible. Woke up an hour ago feeling ok-ish, but I need sleep to come back please.

sarahhh @kickedthestairs.bsky.social · 12d

It took me threeish hours to get comfortable in bed and now I have to go pick up the child. Weep for me.

The stomach bug that felled Cody last week and M over the weekend made its way to me and I think I’m dying but also I have to solo parent so actually I would welcome death.

It’s 2025, why have I heard Tainted Love playing in two separate locations today??

sarahhh @kickedthestairs.bsky.social · 21d

I forgot how frustrating it is to go to a museum you actually want to explore/learn from with a six-year-old in tow. Yeah yeah sure his excitement is exciting, him reading the placards is impressive, blah blah blah, but his attention span is negative, and I want to actually read stuff!

sarahhh @kickedthestairs.bsky.social · 21d

I wasn’t wiped the way I expected to be based on other folks’ experience. I don’t know if that’s helpful at all, but…there it is.

In Chicago for a few days for M’s fall break, and today’s the Adler Planetarium. This made me smile. artsandculture.google.com/story/OAXhX_...
