❎ "my current mental state can cause me to be anxious, irrational, and overly reactive at times"

✅ "some sort of evil shadow self lurks within me that can only be defeated via battle of the mind combat"

My daughter's way of waking me up is slowly crawling over me to slap me in the face while shouting, 'Mama, talk!'

I don't really harbour any secrets so definitely her method of interrogation is a bit over the top.

It's almost 10, way past bedtime. My toddler is bouncing of the walls as it's not dark enough for her to sleep, plus there's a black cat in our garden and she must go and give it a kiss. Baby is hanging of my boob 24/7 ( is it his sweat? Is it mine ? Or is it breast milk and combination of both?) . Motherhood is fantastic but I don't remember how it is to not be constantly touched or needed.

I don't regret being a parent, sometimes though I regret not being a dad instead of mum. Their father is out doing nature photography. His hobby, which he kept after having kids along with his identity and time off for himself. I do love him but bastard sleeps 8hrs and never experienced blocked milk duct.

He's prostrating himself before the Eucharist, in case you're wondering. Or possibly planking.

Hi, pope expert here. This isn’t funny — popes only do this when they’re in extreme distress

Strange racists and homophobes on the internet seem to have access to an alternate way cooler version of TV than me. "every white character on TV is in an interracial relationship" "every show has a gay couple in it" "main characters keep having to secretly be bisexual and nonbinary" "every show has gratuitous full frontal nudity" like damn promise?? What channel???

I love when people whose first languages have grammatical gender use the wrong pronoun in English. "this river is so green because he is fed by glaciers" aw the river is Just A Little Guy. your version of my language is better

What no one warned me about when I got into Discworld is that Terry Pratchett would completely ruin all my future footnote experiences. Now, whenever I read a book (even if it is an academic text!!) and see a superscripted number, my monkey brain makes my eyes drop to the bottom of the page asap, expecting a funny, poignant, memorable, and potentially life-altering little treat, and instead I get hit every time with the soul-crushing disappointment of McFarthy, G. et al. (1997)
