It’s getting hard to keep track of what configurations of kids I am able to leave home alone and for how long. I can leave the 11 year old home alone and she can babysit her younger siblings, but not for as long as she can babysit 1 sibling. I can leave the 8 yo home alone for short periods or with sister for longer, but not just with her brother for any amount of time. 6 year old cannot be left alone or with 8 yo but can be left with 11 yo for awhile.
I’m always like “I should totally post more reels for Winnie” and it’s always after I get botox and filler
I joined a slow pitch softball team this summer so I'm basically one step away from my dream of going pro.
4 years ago Bo Davidson had quit baseball, he was playing slow pitch softball and working at a warehouse. 3 years ago he was virtually unknown playing in community college when a Giants scout accidentally discovered him. On Monday, Bo made history with a hit, stolen base and run in his MLB debut. Never give up on your dreams. @NBCSGiants #sfgiants
I have a friend with CF. She’s in the final 10% who are not helped by these drugs at all. She is dying and currently lives in complete isolation to buy time. Consider donating to find a cure for the final 10% before it’s too late: emilysentourage.org
My hottest take is that you can mess up a lot of things in parenting, but you shouldn’t mess up giving your kids a strong education.
I guess my hottest take about the whole thing is that it’s fine — maybe even good — for a kid to deal with not everything being a perfectly curated experience with his exact needs in mind. A lot of life is like this.

The Alpha school stans in my mentions kind of remind me of the crypto days where laser eye people would be all over any opportunity to pump bitcoin
My hot take is that the school itself is actually less important than the parenting. Even in an EXCELLENT school, if you aren't on top of things, your child might not be getting what they need. You cannot leave it to chance and check back in in high school. This is why "tiger parents" have super high achieving kids - they're ON IT nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…
Where do I place my bet that Philly now gets a NWSL team? (@julieertz i'd love to be part of the ownership group)
I went skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying
And he said
Someday I hope you get the chance
To tweet like you worked for Corgi
Don’t tell me we have AGI. I just bought a new iPhone and transferred over to it and literally every single app was logged out. Impressively bad experience.
I’m really glad I kept all my pants when I got fat in case I ever lost enough weight for them to fit again because now that I’m skinny they are all way too big
