Text reading "SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth."

It's taken from an interview with David Simon, creator of "The Wire", being interviewed by Ari Shapiro on NPR.

I will if I can get tickets! This venue is so close to our flat that we can regularly hear the music of acts that play there through our bedroom window, so we would be mad not to try.

So so small! I used to marvel at how the width of her body was barely the width of my shoulder.

Haha harsh!

Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin @miseryvulture.bsky.social · 4h

Hahaha it's so hard to go by eye with them!

Haha! That was my mum with me! She bought a knitting pattern for premies because she hated seeing babies in baggy clothes and thought it was safer to size way down. Then along came me, the giant baby.

I really did not have a damn clue before having my kid. When I was pregnant, I was in Tokyo and bought a cute pair of tights thinking "oh yeah, these are baby size" and she has only now started to sorta fit into them at just over two years of age.

I love them so much. When I was little, my mum and I would call any frilly socks of mine "frilled lizard socks" :')

The frilled lizard spends most of their time high in trees (~90%), leaving only to mate, hunt, or travel to another tree.

They eat mostly insects: ants, termites & caterpillars.

They lie in wait in trees: when prey is spotted, they run along a branch, drop to the ground & chase it on hind feet.

It's so good, I don't think anything in English quite hits the same way.

I'm so happy to see Malak and her family celebrating Mais' success :') after everything they have been through, for her to achieve this is nothing short of extraordinary. Please donate or share, so more can share in the celebrations

The toddler is clumsily stomping around, undoing all of Seb's work putting together her train set.

Seb: God, it's like having a small Godzilla. Which, I guess, is just a big lizard.

"He" being Elfman, not Sondheim. Though maybe Sondheim also stole from Weil, who is to say

Saoirse Ní Chiaragáin @miseryvulture.bsky.social · 6h

This post brought to you by my listening to Sweeney Todd for the millionth time, realising how much Danny Elfman's doodly doodly strings and BOMP BOMP brass owes a debt to Sondheim, then remembering how much he stole wholesale from Kurt Weil.
