Fantastic! I should break out the chalk as well. I am so grateful that the Trump signs in my neighborhood were few and far between. I saw several ‘hate has no home here’ signs in my neighborhood today along with a number of rainbow flags when I was out earlier. Today is the Pride Parade in Boston and I can’t go this…

Dan Ewen’s continuing support of his transgender daughter’s journey has me tearing up frequently. Just look at that beautiful smile!

I had an incident where a food delivery guy called and said he was downstairs. I buzzed him in, nothing. He called again and I went downstairs. He was not there. He insisted he was in front of my building, and I explained that unless he was invisible, he most certainly was not. I repeated my address, and he insisted…

YES!

The first Butt is the Deepest

I made up the song “If you wanna be my hamster, you gotta get with my butt.” I am 38.

Ha! You’re right.

Semi-related, I really want a garden eel. I love them so much. The only drawbacks are that I have pretty much zero aquarium related knowledge and my hamster would be jealous. But look at them, they’re so cute!

In Boston, people love baseball as long as the Sox are doing well. I know so few people who watch regular season games. (In their defense, the games do often go really late and not everyone has my obsessive FOMO.)

I have tried to hard to like basketball. It’s one of the few sports I can’t get into and it bums me out. Even live games aren’t all that interesting. How can I love curling and not basketball??!?!

I am obsessed with baseball, and when I tell people this, they almost universally look at me like I am nuts. I am thrilled every time April comes around, and I just don’t get how baseball can ever be called slow and boring. I still haven’t recovered from game 7. I have so few people to talk baseball with. At least my…

Yes, but only one truly matters.

I’m assuming he’ll also get crayons and a little plastic cup with a lid and crazy straw.

Fox News right now:

I would not be the least bit surprised to hear that Trump had some variation of a Waking Ceremony. I’m picturing a cadre of sycophants entering his bedroom every morning with a map of the 2016 Electoral College results, gloriously proclaiming his ‘landslide’ victory.

I watched this the night before departing for a summer studying in Greece. I was very much aware of how much that movie got the mythology wrong. Yet I still loved it because of the extensive hotness it contained. My mythology nerdiness has its limits.

I saw Kuffs in twice in the theater. Also, I remember really liking Gleaming the Cube. I have no shame about either of these things.

That’s a good friend!

I recently visited Orchard House, the Alcott home, and where Little Women was set. It was only then that I realized what a incredibly radical environment Louisa was raised in. To have known people like Margaret Fuller in an age where it was unheard of for women to have their own desks is remarkable. I so wanted to go…

It’s great for to students’ mental health to set up a potential 2 against 1 scenario in those triples. The character building possibilities are endless! <shudder>
