this might be a little kooky, but if i'm honest, i prefer my international human rights organizations to have a moral backbone stronger than that of a chocolate éclair

Poor #hatchling was in floods of tears this morning bc she couldn’t take an entire shelf of her books with her to nursery. I so get it, baby girl.
Was fully Rose absorbing the time vortex for a second there. #hatchling
K | krfabian@krfabian.bsky.social · 2w ago#Hatchling Toddler: "Bad wolf!" Me and @such-heights.bsky.social, both immediately yeeted to 2005: "Bad wolf? :DDD" Toddler: "Bad wolf!" Me: "Where's the bad wolf?" Toddler: "Three pigs. At nursery" @such-heights.bsky.social: "...yeah, I guess that does also feature a bad wolf"
Speaking of #hatchling comedy, we had this exchange the other day after indulging in the classic pastime of pretending to eat each other. H: no eat me! I’m a child! Me: I can’t eat you, but you can eat me?! Why?? H: It’s funny!
It’s still going to be 27 degrees at 10pm tonight, no why. Truly the smallest reason to hate climate change is the extent to which it is inconveniencing me personally, but also. I hate it!!
Some recent #hatchling delights: - she’s into playing hide and seek but when I finish counting she jumps up and goes ‘here I am!’ - she says ‘no please’ instead of ‘no thank you’ - she runs into my arms every time I pick her up from nursery, it’s the best
I think our most heroic parental sacrifice to date has been the fact that our one a/c unit is in the hatchling’s room, not ours. God last night was bad.

Again.
Much love to everyone going to Vidukon online and in person this weekend! Sorry to miss you all! I’ll be back, one of these days.
Mrs P taught religious studies and philosophy and was far more interested in her students’ opinions and hosting interesting discussions than she was in drilling the syllabus into us. She did a session on Plato’s cave in that weird gap between GCSEs and A-Levels that changed everything for me.

Colorful polyester suits, orangish hair in an updo. Played guitar & taught us to sing age-inappropriate folk songs. Could see I was struggling & was unfailingly kind ❤️
Things are really bad here these days. Below are some excellent links and resources on the current #transphobia shitshow. #ukpol

A music teacher told 7yo me I couldn’t sing, and I just fully accepted that as fact for years and resigned myself to only ever doing non-musical theatre. So many school plays I missed out on! Finally made up for lost time and was the lead in a musical at the Fringe, so suck on that Miss E.
Not much I can say about #goodomens s3 without being spoilery but I watched it, I liked it, I’m back in my feels and listening to a bunch of Hozier again.

Tidying up and unearthing various misc artefacts. krfabian.bsky.social: ah, the Trowel That Never Touched Earth Me: a lacklustre Doctor Who episode K: but a surprisingly good Fall Out Boy song!
The #hatchling is 2! She has such a good heart and a joyful spirit and is the best little girl in the whole world, in my entirely unbiased opinion. She loves books and drawing and dancing and baby animals and being the best baby bean!
