Walked the UESF picket at Flynn for about an hour this morning. Junior was stoked to make his sign and to wear red but kinda panicked once we got there so he stayed across the street with mom.

children have an uncanny sense, as if imprinted in the womb, for when one of their parents try to immerse themselves in any hobby that predates themselves.

no, not that one.

the construction of “used to” that some but not all use sometimes to describe outlier instances is so weird to me. I see other people do it and think how implausible it is but, and then I find myself doing it too, and like, it serves a purpose and is fine?

“oh yeah like we used like ____" where the blank is some kind of outrageous or funny or cool thing that happened exactly one time, presented as if it was at least twice or in fact, annual or even seasonal for years in a row.
