My four-year-old has been watching TV all morning cuz he’s got the flu. I suggested that we go outside for a bit of fresh air. “But mama, I don’t want to get the birds sick.” Can you tell he’s lived most of his life during a pandemic?

Okay. I can’t keep it in anymore. I’m signing a contract today. I’m gonna be a published memoirist. After 3 years, multiple rejections, endless attempts to appease social media gods, I fucking did it. On my own merit. 😭 Apocalypse Child, Spring 2024. Let’s go.

My mom has never set foot in a Canadian Tire (on principle) but she did today because she wanted to buy plastic hockey sticks for her grandkids. Her text to me: “Wow! What inventory!” Is she going to become a convert to megastore shopping or double-down on her repulsion?

if a woman can give birth to god then a woman can pastor a church too

Is it really Boxing Day if you didn’t eat 11 leftover mini quiches for breakfast?
