remus: you’re not good enough for your son

walburga: excuse me?

remus: you heard me.

did you take the pictures on your banner/ prof pic? they're cute!

Thank you honey! Yes, I did. They're both pictures I took on a recent holiday. Highly recommend the chai at Thinking Cup in Boston, MA (the profile photo) and a trip to the Boston Public Library (banner photo)-I felt like I'd died and gone to literary heaven in there.

Tell me if I’m doing something weird. Sometimes I can’t tell.

"But undocumented immigrants are breaking the law."

I don't care. Not even a little.

Trump broke the law. His insurrectionists broke the law. And when they did, you insisted that breaking the law is patriotic and that our freedom fighters were all law breakers.

By the standards that you actively uphold, undocumented immigrants are patriots. So I will treat them like patriots.

I never realized what a big deal that was. How amazing it is to find someone who wants to hear about all the things that go on in your head.

You look so pretty, Pretty like the sun. I could watch forever While you shine on everyone.

The rest of my room is book shelves. I hoard books. They are people who do not leave.
