Say what you will about screen time, when my kid and I binge-watch remote library storytimes he gets exposed to new books and I get extra snuggles.

No YOU’RE spending too much time looking at vintage tartan and/or velvet blazers on Etsy.

But before I go I’m just going to say that listening to my genius husband present about pedagogy is… um… pleasant.

Today, because we’re on migraine day 3, I’m looking for scientific evidence that when I have a migraine my cognition is, in fact, impaired. This study says that when you’ve got a migraine, you have poor cognitive performance. So I’m going to bed.

Welcome to Kimberly’s Migraine Day 3, brought to you by Lowered Estrogen and Serotonin!

You ever watch a rom-com & forget the characters don’t know they’re in a rom-com? Things are looking their darkest and I’m like, “Bro, this is just a story beat. Remember how it’s going to work out okay?”

Y’all I am so scared about this current COVID surge. I haven’t had a real strong COVID anxiety spiral in a few weeks but I feel one building now.

Tonight my kid requested a bedtime story about @emilyvgordon & @kumailn’s cat, Bagel, and asked me to sing the Kim Possible theme for his lullaby, so I guess what I’m saying is that @tceles_b_hsup and I are amazing parents.

Y’all, the Rockapella Holiday album is… different than I expected.

I coded an interview with a migraine. Aren’t you impressed?

This thread terrifies me.

Okay spoiler for Dash & Lily I guess but I have so much empathy for all the worried adults in her life and watching the end I was just like “Oh but are her parents going to be okay? Ahhh!”

I just finished episode 2 of Dash & Lily (which, just like the book, I love) and spent WAY too much of it focused on figuring out how to recreate her hat.

Our family has been exploring our playgroundless city parks. Today we went to Sandy Creek Park, which has a couple of trails and gorgeous wetlands.

Want to read: a tumblr book by Allison McCracken, Alexander Cho, Louisa Stein, and Indira Neill Hoch, editors, doi:10.3998/mpub.11537055 📚

Put Bert & Ernie Sing-Along on while my kid was in the bath this morning and we’re listening again now. It’s brought me joy all day.

Added details to my discussion chapter outline, input new code system into data analysis software, time to eat trail mix and watch a 2020 holiday movie.

It’s possible I am putting way too much thought into this discussion chapter.

Listen. If you want to get a jump on the winter holidays now with decorations and baking, I say go ahead. Cheer is sorely lacking and I see no reason to delay it.

Brain fog has returned but I got the kid to sit next to me instead of on me and squeezed in 5+ pages of Abigail DeKosnik’s ROGUE ARCHIVES. Yay me!

Kimberly problems: when your brain fog lifts enough for you to read scholarship but you can’t go get your book stand because your kid is sitting on you.

What do you think are my areas of expertise?

The more I go nowhere and do nothing, the more money I spend on books… Which is why I’ll probably be taking advantage of the Duke University Press sale to buy this book about why Buffy the Vampire Slayer is still a thing even though it’s been off-the-air for 17 yrs.

All 3 Roger Rabbit shorts are on Disney+, this is not a drill.
