I’m so confused. Why would an 8yo ever have to say “We were bullying the Chinese people”? I think I know the answer — it’s just hard to accept that these ideas are in very close proximity to me and my family. I can be so naive sometimes.
I feel emotionally exhausted from all the AI talk — it’s everywhere. I need it to stop. I don’t mean the actual technology just the noise that comes with it. My gosh!
My parenting pendulum sounds like this:
Too much. Not enough. Too much. Not enough.
I crave for goldilocks steady state. It feels like such a foolish thing to want.
Resisting the urge to go down the perimenopause research rabbit hole aka trap to some sort of wellness whatever that I need to do to stay young forever and ever. No thanks no thanks no thanks. (Permanently covering ears and going lalalalalalala.)
Started this one a long time ago. Wasn’t sure how to proceed. Looked at it today and added very little! Funny how that works.
Currently reading: The Atomic Bazaar by William Langewiesche 📚
(Three books in two weeks! All from the library! I’m very chuffed!)
Finished reading: Pilgrim’s Wilderness by Tom Kizzia 📚
So many themes, characters, stories within the story that I can’t quite figure out what to make of the book. Certainly took me to Alaska and illustrated small town dynamics very well!
Finished reading: The Adversary by Emmanuel Carrère 📚
Translated from French but still masterful — obviously well written. I can only imagine how the original reads. The subject disgusts me and yet I could not look away. Fantastic and disturbing.
