Unfollowing Lisa Bloom as we speak. I’m sad about this; she seemed so followable two years ago.

So many questions! For now: What can I expect for winter weather?

My teenage daughter and I will be traveling to Marseille soon. This incident scared me. Oddly, your “shit happens” comment comforted me.

As long as the kids are respected, and not played off as being dumb just because they’re kids. Kids deserve dignity.
