the good, the bad, and the ugly this week

• our Pride display at the library is pretty f'in awesome! it features big rainbow letters with feathers stuck to them (we were going to use balloons but they kept popping; the feathers worked out way better in the end) and a backdrop of multicoloured circles that's super eye-catching--I've seen a lot of people stopping to take photos of it or selfies in front of it 😃
• think I'm going to sign up for multifandomdrabble
• am super annoyed with both my children for housekeeping-related reasons. the practice of doing the bare minimum requested and relying on their sibling/parents to pick up the slack is really obvious and continues no matter how many times we call them out on it 😡
• still can't bring myself to post any of my recent writing
• volunteering at an outdoor concert on Saturday... and of course the forecast is calling for an 80% chance of thunderstorms ⛈

That sounds like an awesome display! I may steal the idea if it's okay with you. Living on the actual surface of the sun as we do, my town celebrates Pride in October when it's more reasonable to have a parade outside.

Please do! I'll try to remember to take a photo of it to send you.

Parenting is a thankless job! Perhaps some things can't be really internalized until they're on their own and nobody else is there for them to fall back on? Idk, I was the only one in my house ever cleaning growing up.

I mean - AMAZING - but at a concert is a little messy :P

Yeah, I love storms, but not when I'm trying to work outdoors! OTOH, the forecast seems to be indicating the heaviest rain will fall tonight, so that's preferable.
