my week in objects (mostly).

1. this honeydew.

{especially that color.}

2. this crib.

{and our very nearly six-month-old for still sleeping in it.}

3. this hummus.

{because sometimes lunch means standing in the kitchen, staring into space, scooping hummus with a pita directly from tub to mouth.}

4. these jellies.

{for being the best i-got-caught-in-a-summer-downpour sandal out there.}

5. this strap.

{good for slinging boards over the backs of strollers (or shoulders) or anything else.}

other things:

people are not impacted by the pandemic, okay?…they are sickened, they are laid off, they are hurt, they are scared…

society will call it a choice, when in reality, it’s a failure of the system.

game plans feel like a band-aid applied to a wailing toddler’s thumb.

the most longing-filled fantasy of all.

people who happen to be mothers.

nice white parents.

feminist geography.

a generation.
