Logging out of socials until at least Wednesday. See kimberlyhirsh.com/hello if you want to get in touch.

🔖📚 Read The Art of Reading While Feeding (with a Newborn).

I love articles about how other people enjoy things that aren’t necessarily parenting-related as they parent. Good stuff here.

🔖📝 Read Writing Advice Isn’t Made for Bodies In Pain.

Too many things I want to quote here, so if the headline appeals you should just go read the whole thing.

“if you’re looking for a sign from the universe that it’s okay to stop trying to force your work, that it’s not just okay but good to tend to yourself in whatever way that brings you joy and doesn’t hurt yourself or someone else—this is your sign.”

Over and over again I search for this comic by Sylvie Reuter that is the best depiction I’ve ever seen of how I, personally, experience depression. Maybe next time I’ll find it on my own site instead of having to hope Google helps.

🔖📺 Read ‘Bad Sisters’ Captures the Intensity of Having and Being a Sister

Ooh. When I’m ready for intense TV I might try this.

“Sisterhood was a world unto itself… together, we made bewildering terrain familiar.”

🔖 Read Emma Thompson’s Third Act.

I’ve always loved Emma Thompson, envisioned her as a kindred spirit, a screen aunt like Carrie Fisher is a screen mom. This profile made me love her even more.

“[When I act] I’m taking a holiday from myself.”

🍿 Watched Back to Christmas. Jennifer Elise Cox steals the show. I was hoping Michael Muhney (Sheriff Lamb on Veronica Mars) would get to play someone nice but no luck. If you like these kind of movies, this one is inoffensive.

🍿 Watched Snowbound for Christmas (on Amazon Prime). Based on the book Snowbound with the CEO. A lot of changes from the book. Cute enough, though.

Seeing Scott Thompson as the French (Canadian?) hotel front of house manager in Snowbound for Christmas is a fun surprise. 🍿
