Just a little (link) love: pawdicure edition

A few things I made: Weekly planner (chihuahua in a cup), Weekly planner (small brown puppy), Sketchbook (oil paints cover)
Done by Forty is pondering how to raise a kid with trust fund level wealth to be a good person. You know I’ve thought about this a LOT.
I knew theoretically that pre-partum depression was a thing but I’d never read anything about it. Thanks to Emma Pattee for sharing her experience at Frugalwoods. I never remember pregnancy as a magical experience, there was entirely too much nausea, heartburn, and itching (I still have flashbacks to that damned itching!), but that’s entirely separate from how I feel about the end result.
Cinderella Shock Syndrome: I’ve felt a bit of this myself. When PiC and I started our lives together, even before we got married, he had people on his side who assumed I was a golddigger. I have had to adjust to the idea of being financially stable in our own lives. Parts of my own family sure didn’t cope well with having access to money (through me).
I didn’t even know there was an expected sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale but what a frustrating embargo break.
1000 praying mantises: A Twitter thread. And that last line might have been a throwaway but I had to look up whether they are an invasive species what with the gladiatorial assertions and was sad to see they are.
Related: the crickets thread.
I laughed for a week
Good boy dislikes his nails being trimmed. But the theatrics. Dead!

Thanks so much for the link love, friend. It’s good to know I’m not the only one thinking about the impact wealth might have on our kids.
You’re welcome!
