May the Fourth Be With You

Don’t forget to wear glitter, take your meds, and practice self-care in honor of our dear departed Space Mom.

Chopsticks are our sous‑chefs in the kitchen. They are shape, texture, and art. They are also remembering, celebration, and good luck.

My daughter has a book “Every Night is Pizza Night” by J. Kenji López-Alt. It’s about trying new foods and the main character Pipo goes on a quest to discover new foods in the community despite being convinced (after multiple scientific studies) that pizza is THE BEST.

As Pipo tries new foods she says “I do not want it. I do not need it. But I will try it. For science.”

And honestly, that phrase has stuck in our family lexicon. To the point that I just used it to describe having to work with my cousin on a family thing.

“I do not want to. I do not need to. But I will. For science.”

I just wanted to share because kids books are amazing at giving all of us little bits of wisdom to help us get through the day.

Y’all I’m reading Role Model right now and I just got to the point where I am about to murder the commissioner.

Nothing would make me happier than to see in season two Ilya punching this man. I think it’ll be beautiful and well deserved.

“it’s a children’s book, it doesn’t have to be good” children are people too. I know there were some books I read/were read to me as a child that were so bad they made me mad. children’s media doesn’t have to be mindless and suck ass and it shouldn’t.

‘Reading was my escape, and my comfort, my consolation, my stimulant of choice: reading for the pure pleasure of it, for the beautiful stillness...’

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”—Oscar Wilde. ✨

I’m obsessed with The Gutter Bookshop, on a street in Dublin across from a mural of constellations, with a great selection. I walked away with Crooked Cross by Sally Carson in its Persephone Books glory and At Swim, Two Boys by Jamie O’Neill. It’s across from a lovely coffee shop to boot. A++!
