This essay took me 3 years to write. It began as an impulse to shit talk Miami, and slowly morphed into the realization that we—shit talkers—are often implicated in the overall shittiness of things. Thanks @acentosreview for giving this piece a home. acentosreview.squarespace.com/flavia-monteiro

In my younger years I spent a lot of Friday nights at big book stores. I haven’t done that in a long time, but it’s still fun.

@PSLiterary I immediately thought of Linnea from a book I loved as a kid called Linnea in Monet's Garden. It's about a little girl who visits the places Monet painted and learns about his technique. Haven't thought about it in years. Funny how some books stay with you even decades later.

@nicoletellsit You can do it! There are lots of Reddit subs for good advice about traveling with babies. It will be different than adults-only travel, but can still be rewarding. But you know your kid/yourself best and what you can manage.

Is it a bad idea to do a solo trip to a big city with an 11 month old? Talk me into or out of it please.

Is the mom in Home Alone a good mom? "Goodness doesn’t matter," @Nancy_Reddy writes. "You can deeply love your kids and also significantly screw up. Showing up is how you show your love." Read this essay on Kate McCallister as a messy model of motherhood: catapult.co/stories/nancy-…

@happy_stomach I came on Twitter to log out and this was the first tweet I saw. Even if the 2nd half didn’t go how you’d hoped, I hope you can still feel proud of this amazing accomplishment! 🙌

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure is perfect. Every choice is perfect. Every shot, every prop, car that drives by, wardrobe - perfection.

My kid gets the dumbest songs stuck in my head. For a long time I would wonder around the house randomly saying “in a minute, ima need a, cinnamon roll”. Now I just burst out with a “I know Victoria’s Secret”

@jtewwrites Thank you Jill! This resonates with me. When I think “ugh I’ve been at this for two years and have little to show for it,” this reminds me that I’ve been cultivating the soil. ☺️🌱
