Just realized it’s been ages since I posted a selfie on the ‘gram…and realized that’s probably because I rarely take a selfie without baby H, nowadays.
Ben and I decided to not post photos of him except on Facebook because all my other profiles are associated with my semi-internet-infamous handle, lightspeedsound. We didn’t want to make his life visible to strangers before he could truly consent to being posted publicly.
Being a mother has been the hardest and most rewarding experience ever, and it’s definitely the defining feature of my life right now. It’s a very singular experience to have your entire life centered around the wellbeing of another human being (even a very tiny one). And everybody keeps saying “don’t lose yourself in motherhood!” But I don’t think I am. I think I’m recreating myself.
Which is just a self indulgent, long winded, introspective way to say “I wanted to take a damn selfie tonight.” Document your self indulgence, YALL 😂😂

I need to start a blog of book screenshots and call it “was this written by a #lawyer?” #ilonaandrews #katedaniels

How is it that a fantasy novel about lycanthropes, vampires, and post apocalyptic Atlanta has the most accurate depiction of being a lawyer I’ve ever read? #katedaniels #ilonaandrews #lawyer

Cheesy garlic grits topped with chipotle lime smoked salmon, cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella! We grow our own #scallions by stealing the cheap ones at Safeway and plunking them in water and planting once they root lol #grits #salmon #foodporn

Cannot express how disinterested I am in seeing traumatized characters “reconcile” with their canonically shitty parental figures.
on a related note, anybody else pissed by the total rebranding of Starlord’s relationship to Yondu in guardians of the galaxy 2? Because homebody went from “I was literally a slave, you traded things to possess me” to “guess you were my real daddy all along”
