    I wasn&#39;t gonna get anything for #bandcampfriday (gotta save up for the kiddo&#39;s birthday party this month) but I&#39;m not sure I can pass up this new album by Susanne Sundfør based on the writing of Julian of Norwich https://susannesundfor.bandcamp.com/album/revelations-of-divine-love

    went to the creek after dinner and we found the biggest salamander I&#39;ve seen in that area. Pretty sure it was a spring salamander, not sure what else it could be. The salamanders of Ohio guide doesn&#39;t even list it in our county (surrounding ones yes). Exciting stuff

    I think I disagree with the “anyone can become disabled at any time” post. I’ve certainly used that line before, but the more time I spend caregiving/parenting/being in a body the more I think it’s more accurate to say that it’s inherent in everyone all the time to varying degrees and with varying severity—it isn’t that you are not and then become disabled, it’s that you already and always were and it fluctuates throughout your embodied life. disability is constitutive of embodiment

    boy wanted to ride on an electric train (we’ve been on a steam and diesel train already) so we took the rapid transit in Cleveland and explored. he was underwhelmed (I explained most of public transportation is just waiting) at first but has gotten more excited about the whole thing the more stops we take

    it’s neat how the sunflowers—which are only heliotropic in their immaturity—now fix their gaze earthward, the weight of their reverence even severing their umbilical tethers… they dismember themselves in joyful offerings to their avian alloparents

    fuck. I think I’ve been avoiding admitting to myself for several years now that I really like teaching. I’ve done some through the years at varying levels, primarily undergraduate but I briefly taught music to pre k –2nd grade kids. For the last couple years every time there was an opening at the Montessori school my son attends I had this urge to apply. Just left orientation for 1st graders and I’m all weepy not just because my son is starting elementary but because I want to be a teacher

    got my son a (used) ikea bunk bed*. he was mostly excited to use it as a fort and to play in it. Tonight is the first night we’ve been home to use it for sleeping and he of course wanted to try sleeping up there. I’ve got my pillows set up on the floor next to him unsure how this would go—we’ve been cosleeping since he was old enough to not sleep in a bassinet next to me (I was the one that got up and fed him at night). He fell asleep almost instantly up there without me and I’m not ready
