Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Emmett and Matilda are such adorable siblings!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda looks calmly at home in that second picture. "This is my Emmett."

"He is a safe place."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And Emmett's all "This is my Matilda. You don't have a Matilda. I do."

Yes, he is. I was quite genuinely surprised for him to tell me that she was better than a finger monkey.

He'll let you bask, won't he, Hec? But not borrow. That's how he looks. I mean, you can play with her, but you can't borrow her.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Photos of Emmett and Matilda are wonderful!

I've read days worth and can't remember specifics, so I offer ~ma and yays and glitter to all.

I did note to myself that I wanted to chime in with this:

I think there have been some weird anecdotes where flatlining patients have described events in a surgery theatre that they couldn't have observed from their prone (and at the time, DEAD) position,

My stepfather said this happened to him when he flatlined during open-heart surgery. After he woke, he asked the surgeon who was the other guy in the operating room who died on the table. Turned out it was him. Apparently he told the surgeon exactly what he'd said while it was happening, and freaked the doctor right out. My stepfather was a singularly unimaginative man, and was surprised when I told him that other people had reported similar things. I don't have any idea what did happen, but I don't think he was lying. I might think that he just came out of anesthesia a little, except that he was clinically dead at the time. I dunno. Things like this fuck with my worldview. And that story about the blue-jean girl gave me creeps. I get creeps easily. I'd really like to think that every time I felt "haunted" it was just a subsonic hum from something.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Are alligators only in the western hemisphere?

Interestingly, no. There are Chinese alligators too. But not African ones.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

mac is completely going to bed by himself now. Such a joy. Grandparents visit in April and the surgery resulted in steps back in the nightly rituals, but we are back on. Next up, complete bath time by himself (we are about 50% there). WHEE!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Interestingly, no. There are Chinese alligators too. But not African ones.

And then there's the Antarctic alligators, which are rarely seen as they hibernate 12 months out of the year....
