On some level, THE MANDALORIAN really is just about parenting a young child. “Don’t eat that.” “I told you not to eat that!” “Where are you?” “Where are you going?” “No no no!”

Just got an email inviting me to join a network of patient influencers because I’m active in the healthcare space and it feels really weird.
I’m happy to have new Animaniacs and I’m also happy to have old Animaniacs.
My kid woke me up at the wrong moment in my sleep cycle and I’m pretty sure I’m going to be groggy and cranky all day because of it.
When writing is both scholarly and beautiful, that’s a sweet spot.
WHERE DID NOVEMBER GO?
Just cleaned the 15+ yrs of storage gunk (not too bad really) off my sewing machine. EXCITEMENT!
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.
It’s looking like we’ve turned the corner at my house, so I’m going to tell you a story about love and a pandemic. It starts two weeks ago Monday. I taught class that morning, but by lunch I knew something was up. By afternoon, I knew I was sick.

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.

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.
