When you get tired of waiting for autumn, here's a #CoosDay Autumn for you!! BYOIC (bring your own ice cream).

#CoosDay bayyyybeee 😍

Can we call this #CoosDay advice from the National Trust?

I am staying at a friend's house and have been awakened by loud explode-y type noises that scare the shit out of me. It seems like maybe everyone else here is asleep and they are definitely outside (so not a danger) but like WTF. No more explody sounds please!

Technically, August started sucking way back at the end of July but it has been a shitshow straight through. If anyone can spare any good vibes, particularly for my younger kid, he could use a win (and I, as his mother, could do with not worrying myself sick over him).

I'm on a train that is moving but whose status seems to be wildly wrong. Either we're an hour late getting to the next station or they just stopped updating our station stops. It is very odd. Hoping they fix it at the next station.

The man behind me on the train is on some sort of informational interview that involves him recounting his business dreams & successes to a younger sort and so far it has included his love for management consulting, his employability in Houston and how much good he'd do as CEO of ExxonMobil.

Why do so many businesses have websites that are unusable from your phone in this day and age? These aren't even the ones pushing their own apps. Just ones that are objectively awful with no alternative.

Monarch Migration! This doesn't begin to capture how many we had stop by. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEForEphemeral

You don't have to wear one always and everywhere! But every time you do, you and the people around you are a little bit safer, so find some places it makes sense for you and start there! I've got a train trip tomorrow and I'll have mine on.

Everything said here about collectibles is also true about your family heirlooms. Use the china. Put grandma's quilt on the guest bed. It's nothing if it isn't used. Besides if it survives? Everyone will know whose it was and why you kept it. They'll never know if it's boxed and away.

Sheena has the most brilliant ideas. Genealogists and historians, this is a fun one for you. I am hoping I can still find the 1930s school dance ticket my grandfather saved. If you're stuck look at the Wikipedia for Ephemera, lots of interesting inspiration.

Can't help reading "inviting me to playgrounds" as preferring to have me meet our daughter in busy public places. 🤷‍♀️

It's a 🐦!! It's a ✈️!! It's SUPER PEBBLE!!

Achieving liftoff!!! Just moments later Flora was spotted soaring in the skies!

Officially operating as 3 panic attacks in a trench coat. Do not approach.

Since I have already reached "scream endlessly at the top of your lungs" frustration level, here's an offering of peace.

Great thread on accountability for students, do read through especially if you are in education.

One of the best field trips I ever arranged was to take first graders to a living history farm where they mixed animal feed and watched how wool became yarn (and made little twisted wool bracelets to take home) and honestly would prevent the exact problem Alyssa saw here.
