Owen has come out as transgender (new name Robin).
I know you love and support your kids unconditionally, but seriously, are you okay with her breaking your O-based naming theme.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well, Robin has an "o" in it.
Seriously, Cashmere, I'm glad your kids are in a place where they can be themselves (except maybe in high school, but that's frequently a piranha pit anyway).

Even for cis-gendered kids high school is often a piranha pit.

High school is nothing but pirhanas all the way down.

oh dear ... there was a story last week about three men in Brazil. They went out to a farm and were attacked by a swarm of bees. So they went and jumped in the river ... and the piranhas (real ones) attacked. Two of the men got away, but the third drowned.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Sumi!
There was another incident at school with Mr. S. They called Gary, who texted the nanny. I hope the rest of the week goes better.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ha! I thought about that.
I love nature-based names, though!
Piranhas All the Way Down—that is high school to a T.

David, (thanks to her stint in college radio) Robin’s listening choices include:
Animal Collective, Xiu Xiu, Yves Tumor, Sweet Trip, black midi, Dean Blunt, Aphex Twin, Car Seat Headrest, and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
She isn’t as tiny as Oliver—more grown up human size, so she wears a large t.

A couple of years ago, in the elevator in my old apartment building, I ran into a young man wearing a Bad Religion t-shirt. He was quite impressed that I - an older woman - did not run away in horror. He was also impressed when I told him I'd met the mother of their lead singer, so I not only knew who they were but knew someone connected to them.
