This summer is so hot that, even though I didn’t really plan on having kids before, I’m terrified of having any now.
I don’t want to be responsible for bringing anyone else into this climatic hellscape — which makes me sad, because it shouldn’t be a hellscape now for the folks who are already here.
And I’m like, “Wow, if it’s this bad NOW, what will be happening in ten years?!”
PARENTS OF YOUNG CHILDREN, please forget that I even mentioned any of this. Just scroll right past these tweets.

Let’s have a palate cleanser: Chocolate. A trip to the ocean. A bubble bath. Free food.

It finally happened.
I was driving home from work in my car — the White Pony.

(It’s the White Pony, because you’re not supposed to ride the White Horse. A little joke for the Laid Back fans.)
I was driving through a low spot, following a semi, when I saw it coming up behind me.

With my parents today. So far, it’s been a quotable affair.
My mom, who is relatively traditional: “It’s because of the patriarchy. It is!”

My dad: “The patriarchy? What’s that?”

[She briefly explains the meaning of patriarchy.]

Dad: “Oh.”
Dad: “What counts as extended family? Do cats count, too?”

The top-rated review on Goodreads outlines all of the ways that the book’s characters are prejudiced — misogynists, racists, religious zealots, etc.
But I’m thinking, “That’s kinda the point! Women — including a Black woman — are routinely ignored during this story. Even though it’s pretty obvious that they’re right.”
It seems like that’s supposed to be one of the big takeaways — that people aren’t listening to them because they don’t want to believe them, and because they ultimately don’t care.

That’s the really scary aspect of this story.

Started listening to this audiobook while I was WFH today.

I’m already halfway through it. A book cover. It depicts two orange peaches on a black backg
About forty minutes into it, or thereabouts, I was like, “Oh, they’re going to make this into a movie. Or a limited series. This is the kind of material they’re looking for.”
I wish I’d started livetweeting about this as soon as I started listening to it, because I have ... lots of thoughts.
